When it was over my wife said to me, "Well, I sort of got caught up in it, but what really happened? I mean, speculating on the motives of fictional characters??"

That alone I take as a thumbs up, because the screenwriter can do something other than - tires squeal, or hero sneaks around corner holding gun. This movie is an unofficial companion piece to "Becoming Jane," the biographical period piece of the author herself. Here, the attempt is made to parallel the lives of Austen's characters with a group of modern day Californians.

Again, how bold to attempt to portray two such disparate groups as essentially, and inherently possessed of and pursuing, respectively, the same qualities and dreams.

I'm reminded of another little known piece; Danny Devito teaching Army recruits Shakespeare. For anyone with even a year of community college, think of the possibilities; women do a Jack London book group, men in prison have a weekly discussion on Dostoevsky. My point is character in both fiction and real life is richer than any plot because without character plot cannot exist. And while plot can be made quite interesting, without adequate character you have "the Da Vinci Code," and nothing more.

I'm writing this to celebrate this film as a mainstream effort at character study, a blow against the prevailing  wind, both in arts and life, of the plot-driven life culture. What happens? Is too often the question in film and life- who wins, who loses, what mystery is solved, and other such formulaic questions, when the real interest is: who do we get to know who helps us get to know ourselves better?

I never really did understand the words "never give up" until I saw Bruce Lee. I don't think anyone can replace him from my heart. Some people that see me sometimes call me Bruce Lee because of my race but like I said, no one can replace the real one even if it is I. His persistence is nowhere near my cowardice. However he does give me the encouragement to try things I never had tried before and to never give up. If there's something I am bad at yet I still consider it as a part of what I like, then his words energizes me to fight on and keep rising up after a fall no matter the pain!

As you may know that Bruce Lee is starred in many movies and movies aren't always real. I however do not care whether these movies of Bruce Lee are real or fake. As long as Bruce Lee stays with his state of mind as a courageous loving and caring hero is all that matter to me. I can always tell from his face and expression that tell me he is a hard-headed person. Now that is what I am normally called though... However the way they use it to talk to me just means I just don't listen. Still however those both still mean the persistency of a person. Showing we go through many obstacles and hardships that cover our paths! It is true that I am lazy for whatever reasons but Bruce Lee's legacy of wits and might had inflicted upon me to become much more mature and allow me to see the future.

Many people think of us Asians to know kung-fu, knowing how to fight... it is not true in many senses. Seeing those movies of Bruce Lee fighting doesn't mean that all of us know. Another thing is that it counts toward to me as an insult of saying I am like Bruce Lee for he is way more superior than I am. He had great determination and is persistence all throughout the hardships whilst I am nothing but a mere coward. Bruce Lee though did give many people too the ideas of never giving up, allowing them to learn a great knowledge...

His thoughts of kindness, loving and caring encourage me to do the same toward my family and friends. Helping those and care for those that are dear to me... Though it may be a bit too selfish... Bruce Lee had to come over some sacrifices in order to do this and yet that is true in this world. Also a bit of foolishness overcomes me to thinking of being able to do so much as of right now.

Therefore I shall let those characteristics stay in me and release it once the time is ripe. Bruce has became a legend and with that let us carry this legend down further towards history and let it remain until this world is no more...

The Guillotine's intentions from the beginning were corrupt, as his original mission was to eliminate the Ching rebels, including the One Armed Boxer, who coincidentally only has one arm. During a prestigious kung-fu tournament, including crazy characters such as “Win Without a Knife” Yakuma, who actually holds a knife secretly, a man who fights using his pigtails, and an Indian Yoga master who could extend his arms by 5 inches, The Flying Guillotine tried to assassinate the One Armed Boxer, but failed.

The Flying Guillotine himself is completely blind, and used a flying guillotine, a hat shaped device that chopped heads right off! What also made this film stand out is its use of creative special effects. A dramatic fight at the end incorporates coffins with spring-loaded hatchets and Wang Yu's gravity-defying wall-climbing. You could also imagine the kind of public reaction a film like this would receive in 1976, to this day it remains a cult film classic that lives up to its eccentric name by offering one of the most unusual and fascinating kung-fu movie experiences.
