[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9022392, member: 85555"] I just want to remark that this is a wonderful movie. To me it is no mystery why this stuff is interesting to people: it is amazing to watch. For me, my interest in this stuff started with Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and my own interest in martial arts and action movies (if you were into things like Commando in the 80s you were likely also into the ninja craze, Chuck Norris movies, etc). Hong Kong action movies to me at least, were way more intense and interesting than most american action movies I saw growing up. But what I liked when I started watching things like the Venom Mob movies was the grace of the performances. What I liked about stuff like Dragon Inn or One Armed Swordsman was the direction and the way the violent action was captured on film. I think where it intersects with nerdom is many of these genres have elements that are found in stuff like fantasy and do their own kind of world building (even when it is set in history there is often an underworld created).
