I haven't seen a crane technique fail this badly since Karate Kid II.

Anyone else thinks that World War Z was a bad book?
For me, Brooks tries to give a serious global perspective of a zombie apocalypse, but his portrayal of different cultures and real world geopolitical forces falls flat.
I know it's pointless complaining about a lack of realism in a novel about zombies, but it ruins my immersion when the author seems to get his impression of the world from American news and the Karate Kid.

There's a "sweep the leg" joke in here somewhere, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be the one to make it!

Hopefully.

Keeping things in perspective here, that vid has attracted one vote per year it's been in your pqueue, so you only have to find a replacement and seven votes within the next decade and it'll still be on target for sifting

Anyway once it's gone to the deadpool there's hope someone else will find another source somewhere we haven't thought to look.

A cheesy cheeeeeese classic! LOL, it was from the Karate Kid II?

I think he is engaging in a little witty wordplay:

I suppose this is funny if your only exposure to Japanese people is through movies like the Karate Kid. This guy's fake accent is pretty terrible--and no Japanese person would pronounce "wa-sa-bi" wrong since it's a native Japanese-language word.
I don't find it offensive or anything, just pretty terrible.

I don't know, I think he may be Japanese....

I'm torn on this.
I wasn't a big fan of Kill Bill - especially the second part. Certainly some great scenes, but too much winking self-awareness. Some of this trailer (especially the beginning) has this same kind of lazy looking self parody. I see what they're getting at, but I'm not a fan.
But it also has some absolute top shelf action talent, and every reason to believe it will have amazing action scenes. Oh, and Michelle Yeoh apparently.
So, yeah, this'll be awesome.


Just watched it. It's clear they cut the trailer to appeal to mass market America who loved the fact that the latest Karate Kid was about Kung Fu. It's not at all humorous as the trailer makes it out to be. They obviously mentioned Kill Bill among others for the same reason, but in fact the only "people who brought you..." they're really referring to is Yuen Woo Ping.

It is a bit fractured for it to be a perfect flick, but it was highly enjoyable to me. I recommend it especially to folks who know and appreciate the genre.
