Even though I don't like some of the cinematography techniques (particularly the cut to a close up, then cut again back out 12 feet) this is a pretty righteous fight scene. This was back in the day before everybody had to be on wires. And look - they actually get bruised and bloodied, and sweaty and out of breath. Even though I think it was Bruce Lee who first started the more realistic fight scene, Chan really made it a staple of his career. It just gets overshadowed by his slapstick and his prop use.
I'm going to see if I can find some Ong Bak for everyone.
