Observations from watching gongfu (wuxia) films

[red amoeba]

1. they can fight whole day, wander all around yet, when they reach the inn, they have silver / money to pay for food & lodging - money come from where?
2. they have qing-gong - can leap from tree to tree / ground to roof - yet require horse to get from one place to another.
3. whole day fight to gain number one title - but always meet someone whom they don't know about hiding in some ulu village with damm powerful gongfu
4. good guys always wear white and bad guys always wear black - don't they find white very easy stained?
5. zhar bohs who know gongfu can hang around with guys, wander around looking for fights - zhar bohs who dunno gong fu not supposed to go out and must stay indoors. So gong fu is macham the passport to go out?
6. can whole day fight in inns, fight in streets - but no "police" will come to intervene - yet they always doo lan the government why?
7. whole objective of the gong fu world is: fight for a special gong fu manual / find hidden treasure / restore last empire / special weapon...neber about zhar boh, about money or about land?



feel free to add on...

 

[The Penetrator]

Hero is always seek revenge for father or 师父 !

If the hero is orphan , the adopted father who teach him kongfu is his father's real killer !

And every night got full moon !

1. They all bring along money which they put in their luggage or in their pockets or sleeves.
2. You can't use qing gong too much as it depletes your mana and exhausts you. Use it only during critical situations.
3. Low profile folks are quite often profoundly deep - as is the case in real life.
4. Not true. Although black attire is preferred for blending into the night's darkness.
5. Vulnerable people who cannot defend themselves should keep adventuring to a minimum or do it with bodyguards' escort. Nothing to do with gender.
6. Fighting and dueling is honorable and not a crime, there is nothing for the law enforcement to intervene. People do revolt against a oppressive regime on the decline or one which was ruled by non-Han Chinese barbarians.
7. Again, wrong. Go read up on Murong Fu. Restoring an empire precisely needs money, land, armies and at least one woman to sire your heirs.

In conclusion.... you don't know what you're talking about.

Why must the 师父 always have to stay at the mountain top ? Why cannot stay in main town ?

Why the big bad boss is always a member of a rich family or elite. So rich already still need to fight for what ?

Why must every year have a 武林大会 ? Every four years once cannot meh ?

Why the bad guys always carry weird, heavy and clumsy weapons while the good guys will always carry 剑 ?

The 師父stay in mountain to gather the nature energy and also to stay away from crowd and "retire". So that he can continue to meditate and learn more about his skill also to think of new skills. Living in town, too crowded and those trouble makers may come and challenge him every now and then. So he may not be able to retire peacefully.

The bad guy usually are rich because after they have caused harm on others they gain their wealth from others and those who born rich baddies usually see how their bad their ancestors is thy continue to be bad.

The 武林大會 is held every year is due to individual ego in finding the best fighter, but more importantly it's a promotion event for the individual to get more student after the event.

The bad guy tend to Cary weird weaponry because it's an ego thing again, one word "show off" also to scare the opponent first.

1. they get money from donations (e.g. shaolin), begging (e.g. beggar's clan), or they do some farming/odd jobs/trade/ etc (e.g. other sects or individuals)
2. depends on their level - Wei Yixiao the green bat winged king from the Ming Sect in Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre usually does qing gong all the way e.g. the time he went to Wudang mountain to help Zhang Wuji fight off the Mongolians who went there to harm Zhang Sanfeng.
3. damn powerful doesn't mean boastful, so he leads a reclusive life.
4. this one is true.
5. this one is damn obvious.
6. depends on who is the government at that time.
7. Zhang Wuji is about zhar bor, Cheng Kun is about money and land.

becos the mountain is more quiet and better for meditation and practising kung fu.

in those days, the rich may not have power (like now ) they fight for power.

[Narong Wongwan]

This 3 are the 邪教教主

 

[Dark Knight]

Those days every Kung Fu chap talks about "Wu Lin" which is equivalent to the secret society these days.
Hence "Wu Xia" are those gangster of today's context and always use their fist to gain respect, power and wealth.
The "Chao Ting" which is their gahbrament set the rules and regulation and they have "Bu Kuai" ie constables to keep law and order.
Every town has a "Ya Meng" ie police station where there's a "Pan Guan" ie magistrate" to manages all affairs.

The also have the secret police Jing Yi Wei 千户大人 who is usually highly skilled....machiam pap traitor dogs ISD and Dir ISD.

Not forgetting the smiling but evil gong-gongs who appear benign but are the most wicked....leegime we have Yeo Guat Kwang and BBQ Seng as the modern day enunchs.

Also have some 大人 who look very kind and compassionate on the outside but evil to the core on the inside.

Modern day we have Shanmugan and Khaw Boon Wan.

What about court jester like Lim Swee Say and Yacoob.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

What about court jester like Lim Swee Say and Yacoob.

They would be some bumbling idiot 掌门人 who got the job by accident due to seniority....
Usually cowardly and like to talk big act tough but actual fighting always Siam due to their inferior skills.

The Da Sia hero got special hairstyle whereas normal peasant all wear hats .
