  • And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, ‘O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.’ And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas…

    And the Lord spake, saying, '‘First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.’


  • I just love how this film approaches stereotypes. EVERYONE is an overblown caricature, but they’re all caricatures that don’t line up with what you expect for their race. Asians are all caricatures of African American urban youth. Most black characters are either Asian-coded or yuppy White-coded. It does a great job of highlighting the absurdity of so many of those stereotypes.

    And it’s just a great Kung fu flick.
