 ;D I can see how the non-Asian audience might go "hunh?" but I loved that movie. I grew up reading the stories and watching these kinds of films. The martial art sequences were just beautiful to watch.

Try it again when you're in a different mood Ray! It's a great movie. Maybe this will help: Jen is Ennis and the Mongolian guy is Jack. The comb is the shirts. Does that help??

OMG, I love martial art stories, and watches many many martial art movies.  They have martial art stories in Thai, Nipith?  Or you read them in Chinese.  :o

I loved this movie and I'm not Asian. I have to say, though, I don't remember any marshall arts sequences. Martial arts, maybe?  ;)

Hmmm - Chris and I were talking about this movie just yesterday, and he assured me I was completely strange (althought I don't think he was so kind in his assessment of me) for not liking it.  But I didn't.   Didn't dig the story, didn't dig the martial arts, didn't dig any of it.  Don't want to try again either.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, Ray!  Loved it.  I'm a sucker for those balletic fight sequences with all the pretty colors and stuff.  Plus, being an Ang movie, it actually had some intelligence thrown in. 8)  ;D

they were translated to Thai. as well as the movies dubbed to Thai. There are some Thai martial art, but nothing as spectacular as Chinese.
