说说废话, 又过一天
I am a bit of a Donnie Yen nut again after watching 14 Blades. Twice. *haolian* So I have been looking at some old movies of his. Allow me to draw your attention to this clip.
Wah, why his body look so short arh? He always seemed rather okay in movies to me; his torso looks way longer in 14 Blades, and he definitely towered over Jackie in Shanghai Knights. But then again, Jackie is not that tall. And also, a certain percentage of height growth occurs in adulthood. Or perhaps he discovered a kind of martial arts to enhance height. That would be great. I could use a couple of extra cm to make me less Teletubby, more [insert tall woman name here]. OR MAYBE it's simply just the way he wore his pants. So high sia. Last time fashion 不一样...
BTW, Donnie Yen is about 1.73m, that's pretty tall in our culture. And it's a good height. Very normal. Sorry if we don't live in the land of giants where the milk makes everyone at least 2 metres tall. That's just plain weird.
Anywaaay, back to the video! Look at how fast the punches are! Not just Donnie Yen but the other guy too. I don't know how much of this was done using technology and camera techniques, but still, there's some quick fist work going on here! And minute 3:19, kick, kick, kick kick kick, twirl, kick, twirl and kick! Aerobics sia!
Really nice stuff. I kinda like the part where the camera zoom in on the other guy from between Donnie Yen's legs. Fancy! They don't do movies like that anymore now.
There's something very street-like and renegade about the way Donnie Yen fights in this video. Very pai kia. Totally unlike the way he does it in Ip Man. To me, Ip Man fights in an almost structured manner, which makes it very graceful. There is a reason for every punch and kick, and it hits home almost every time. Not just throwing out hands and legs, hoping to score any damage.
Let's peruse.
**Note, this part may be a major spoiler, watch this if you will. But don't be a dumbshit and come kpkb to me like I reveal some 天际. And the movie did come out in 2008. But who knows? Dumbshits will be dumbshits.
屌... I cringe every time I see him dislocate the guy's leg, man. Tough shit.
-Abrupt change of topic-
And I just Googled 屌 (diu)! Ha-ha-ha! Cannot believe that there is an entire wiki article about this word. And another one on the few common Cantonese curses!
Anyway, quoting Wiki：
Diu is a word in the Chinese language... and is written as 鳥 (meaning "bird", pronounced niǎo in Mandarin and niu5 in Cantonese when used in this usual sense). It is used as an emphatic adjective with a function similar to the English "fucking", "bloody" or "god damned".
...
The written form [門+小] is mainly seen in Hong Kong, for example, on graffiti. In Cantonese, it is used as a transitive verb meaning to copulate. In a manner similar to the English word fuck, it is also used to express dismay, disgrace, disapproval and so on. For example, someone may shout "diu nei!" ("fuck you!" or "fuck off!") at somebody when he or she finds that other person annoying.
SMALL DOOR!!! BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA! Okay, I need time to laugh now. KNN FUNNY! BAAHAHAHAHAAHAH!
Kthxbai.
