If you like Kung Fu mov...One of the best, no doubt! If you like Kung Fu movies dealing with the Shaolin temple, I recommend checking out Shaolin (2011) I just saw it a few days ago and was blown away by it. Recently reviewed it too, I think you would enjoy it.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-58452658811657894622011-12-17T13:39:42.100-05:002011-12-17T13:39:42.100-05:00@Sean: Like the head butts he performs at the end ...@Sean: Like the head butts he performs at the end to dispatch the General. That was played up during his training as well.

I love how Lau and Liu (Liu...It's my favorite. I love how Lau and Liu (Liu was Lau's adopted brother, by the way) break down the various kung fu skills and movements in such a way that everything San Te does is understandable. It's not just a blur of motion but rather discrete movements all of which have a purpose and that by the end of the film we can even anticipate. San Te's development of the 3-sectioned staff and then its deployment, both in the Temple and in the final battle is a perfect example of this.Sean Gilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124894627028920508noreply@blogger.com
