SnakeEagleCat Rice bowl

Last night, Ray and I watched Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (Se ying diu sau). It was directed by Yuen Woo-Ping and stars his father, Yuen Hsiao-Tien (Simon Yuen) in a mentor-type roll to Jackie Chan's Chien Fu. I could give a review but just follow that title link and you'll find it's all covered. Yeah, it's not the best movie ever but we enjoyed it. Yuen Hsiao-Tien does some cool stuff with his body and a rice bowl. Yes, a rice bowl. It's awesome to watch. There's a hilarious bit where Chien reaches for a book, detailing the Snake-Fist secrets, left by the old beggar. He finds it ripped to shreds and curses his pet cat. He discovers the cat out in the courtyard, putting the smackdown on a cobra. He holds up the kitty's paw and mulls this over so hard you almost see a cartoon thought bubble above his head. Thus is born the Cat's Claw. Every time Jackie would jump up and put his fingers out like claws, you'd hear this "Rrreeeeeooow." The dubbing is so horrible. A lot of Hong Kong movies dub the entire soundtrack later. And usually in Cantonese, even when the actor may speak Mandarin, as in Jet Li's case. But *this* movie was first dubbed in Mandarin and then back to its original Cantonese..who knows whose voices you're hearing. It's all so confusing.
