They just don't make fight sequences like this anymore...

I guess this video will remind you of the importance of proper eye protection.  I especially like the quip at the end:

I'm confused. Were they supposed to be fighting, or doing the robot? I couldn't tell which was stiffer, their fighting or their acting.

Holy crap, that sequence was cornier than Iowa.

Honestly, is it really that difficult to find a martial artist who is also an actor (I mean can actually act - not Chuck Norris, Jean-Clod Van Dammit, or Steven Segal.) Well, I guess if you did find that combination in one person, then you'd need an actual plot and decent dialog. No wonder martial arts films suck nine out of ten times.

I never knew getting your shirt ripped could hurt so badly.

Cornier than Iowa ... c'mon that was good stuff. A one armed woman and a one eyed man.

Yeah, see ya.

You know, that's one thing I never understood about some parts of Kung-Fu, Hapkido, and other martial arts where you "claw" with your fingertips. The idea is that it hurts, and can even lacerate the skin.

My thought is that in the same opportunity you could execute a technique that cripples instead of annoys. I have to agree with Bruce Lee on this one - go for the simplest and most devastating. You could do something less, but if someone is trying to kill you, why the hell would you?
