And in an uterly unrelated note, Unibrue is the reason that Canada cannot afford to lose Quebec. Troi Pistoles is some majorly wonderfull beer type alchohol.

Not a great chance but seperatism is always a factor in Quebec politics to some degree or other. And yes I'm sure that under the cushions is the first place that Ottowa will look if BQ gets it's way.

Common sense, I've found, is exceptionally UN-common.
The meaning of life (42) changes everytime that you or someone close to you changes.
Lord Lucan..... can't help you there, though I was once known as Lord Duncan, AKA Ducan the drunken Dhai (pronounced "die")
Spare change......... you know.... I'm evil. I got so very tired of complete and utter gene trash asking me for spare change in Charlotte, that a completely evil thought was born into my head. Yes , my head is hell, and it spawns demons. A man had just asked me for money, and the thought "I'll give you a quater for your last shread of dignity." came to mind. I won't elaborate on the other details, they would only amuse me, and disgust everyone else.

I find pens and pencils in the back of our couch.

In fact, one day I amused myself seeing how many errant pens and pencils I could find around the house. I found 12 before my hands were too full to hold anymore.

Oh, can you come search the house where I work? It seems pens are consistantly going missing from there. Maybe one of the guys is hoarding them for some reason....
or maybe they other staff just put them down in odd places.

No big mystery there. They've all gone to the planet of the lost ball point pens. A planet where pens can live a life ideally suited to ball point life forms.

6 teenagers (The Jock, The Nerd, The Black Guy, The Cheerleader, The Unpopular Girl, and The Unpopular Girl's Annoying Younger Sister) are driving through a remote forest when their car breaks down. After arguing about who's fault it is for a while they decide to walk back to a gas station so they can call for help. On the way they see an old abandoned house by the side of the road. Since at that exact moment it starts to rain they decide to take shelter in the Creepy Old House In The Middle Of Nowhere.

*string instruments play dissonant chords*

The teenagers argue some more about who's fault it all is as they try to get a fire going in the fireplace and look about for some form of working plumbing. They split up to explore the house. The Unpopular Girl hears a noise in a room off the main hall and nervously opens the door to investigate. Something goes flying past her as she screams.

*string instruments play dissonant chords*

False alarm it was only a cat.

The Jock and The Cheerleader find a diary in a desk in one of the upstairs rooms and start reading it. It tells the story of how a midwife and her idiot son were accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake by the villagers and of her dieing curse to kill all who reside within the village forevermore.

*string instruments play dissonant chords*

Meanwhile The Black Guy gets the fire going while The Nerd gets water from a pump out back and The Annoying Little Sister is Annoying. The storm gets worse as night begins to fall.

*A lightning flash illuminates two figures in the woods and string instruments play dissonant chords*

The Jock produces a bottle of whiskey from somewhere and procedes to get The Cheerleader liquored up. The Nerd hits on The Unpopular Girl but even though she is unpopular she still has standards and isn't about to be caught swapping boddily fluids with a nerd in a creepy old house in a rainstorm. Which leaves The Black Guy to be Annoyed by The Annoying Little Sister untill he decides to get another pail of water from the pump out back.

*lightning. sounds of wind and rain. string instruments play dissonant chords*



The Black Guy is hit over the head with a shovel. He dies.

Inside The Nerd has stopped trying to sex up The Unpopular Girl and goes looking for a DSL line he can jack into so he can download some hot cheerleader pron. The Annoying Little Sister is sitting by the fire with her back to the door as somebody sneaks up behind her.

Boo, says The Nerd and The Annoying Little Sister jumps up to the ceiling and screams. Which covers the sound of The Cheerleader Screaming as The Jock is beheaded in front of her eyes by a shadowy figure that had crept in through the window.

The Unpopular Girl runs to see what's wrong with her Annoying Little Sister and finds her jibbering while The Nerd tries to comfort her in a totally innefectual way. Then The Cheerleader comes into the room covered in blood and faints.

When The Cheerleader comes to she tells the rest of the teenagers about The Midwife and Her Idiot Son and about seeing The Jock's head being forcibly removed. After which The Annoying Little Sister wonders where The Black Guy is since he really should have been back with the water by now.

*string instruments play dissonant chords*

The Nerd goes out back and discovers the body of The Black guy and turns to run back into the house. Too late as it happens as the figure of a woman looms out of the fog with a blunderbuss intent on aerating The Nerd's intestines. She succeeds.

At the sound of the antique gun firing The Cheerleader goes completely unhinged and runs out of the house, through the woods, and smack into a brick wall. The impact kills her immediately.

Back in the house The Unpopular Girl and her Annoying Little Sister baricade themselves in the front room and jump at even the slightest of sounds.

*string instruments play dissonant chords*

A sledgehammer strikes against the door battering the furniture placed in front of it to hold it shut as The Midwife's Idiot Son force his way into the room. The Unpopular Girl hides to the side of the door holding the poker from the fireplace and when The Idiot Son comes through she pounds his head into a bloody pulp.

Just as she begins to smile in triumph The Midwife comes through the window behind her and throws her to the ground. The Unpopular Girl asks The Midwife why she and her son have attacked them. The Midwife explains about being hated and reviled by The Villagers and the sweet feeling of revenge in killing them. "I'm like you," said The Unpopular Girl, "I know what it's like to be ostracized by everybody around me."

"Have you ever been tied to a tree and burned to death?" asked The Midwife. "No. Then you don't know how I feel." she says as she stabs The Unpopular Girl through the heart with a letter opener. Then The Midwife turns toward The Annoying Little Sister who is in a corner of the room jibbering. "And now it's your turn." The Midwife said as she raised the poker to deliver the killing blow just as the sun came up and her skin shrivelled off her bones which then proceeded to crumble to dust.

Some time later The Annoying Little Sister wearing a very fetching straightjacket is wheeled into an ambulance on a gurney to begin her journey to the hospital where she will spend the rest of her life screeming, jibbering, and not sitting in front of a fire.

In the front room of the creepy old house a figure stirs in the shadows as the sun goes down.

The End????

A bit longer than sixty seconds I'm afraid.

Okay, now do Every Kung Fu Movie Ever Made in 60 seconds!!


The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive is disowned by His Father The Renowned Martial Arts Master for a grievous breach of family honor (failing to fart during the pudding course maybe) and is thrown from his home and chased out of his village by his fathers students - individually no match for his skill, strength, and stamina but together sufficient to overmatch his prowess.

He wanders pennyless and alone untill he comes across an annoying old man sitting by the side of the road. Thinking to shut the old coot up The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive aims a distracted backhand slap at the old man who proceeds to beat him into the turf in a dazling display of martial acumen. The Old Man explains that he is the last surviving master of a form of martial art so brutally effective that there is no known defense against it.

Of course The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive absolutely must learn that style of fighting so he begs and pleads with The Old Man untill he relents and agrees to take him on as a student. The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive is set by his new master, The Old Man, to doing a variety of apparently mundane tasks in inneficient and uncomfortable ways. Moving water from one bucket to another using a demitasse cup held only with the ring and pinky fingers while balancing on a tight rope 10 feet off the ground to name one for instance.

After many humorous scenes involving this weird form of domestic drudgery and The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive's attempts to circumvent the onerous and tedious aspects of his duties and of course getting caught slacking off The Old Man explains how this was all very specific training in the techniques of the Most Brutally Effective Martial Art Style Of All Time Against Which There Is No Known Defense. After which he tells The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive that he has learned all he can from his master and must now walk the world to hone his skill.

Several years later The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive is ushered into a private meeting with The Head Of An Unnamed Intelligence Agency who explains that his particular services are reqiuired to infiltrate a Secret Society Of Martial Artists plotting to take over the world. He is given a flimsy cover story, a one way ticket to some city in the general vicinity of Asia, and the address of The Hidden Fortress of the Secret Society Of Martial Artists.

Of course you can't just walk into The Hidden Fortress of the Secret Society Of Martial Artists and ask to be shown to the office of it's Diabolical Leader. You have to beat up 20 or 30 flunkies first so The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive proceeds to pummel stuntman after stuntman while off screen the sound guy tenderizes a slab of Grade D meat for the crew's lunch.

Suitably impressed the Diabolical Leader invites The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive to partake in a tournament the winner of which will be invited to join the ranks of the Secret Society Of Martial Artists and the losers of which will be removed from the premises in body bags.

There is a five minute display of virtuosity in the use of nunchucks for no adequately explained reason at this point after which The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive sits down to dinner with the Diabolical Leader, the Diabolical Leader's young, beautifull, and deadly daughter, the Diabolical Leader's Favorite Henchman, and the other contestants in the tournament. Among them the Black American Special Forces Veteran, The All Germany Bare Fist Boxing Champion - very large and very nordic, and several others we are shown but who have no dialog. During the dinner we learn that the Black American Special Forces Veteran was dishonorably discharged and that is why he want's to join the Diabolical Leader's Secret Society Of Martial Artists plotting to take over the world, that The All Germany Bare Fist Boxing Champion could care less about taking over the world but couldn't pass up the opportunity to fight the greatest fighters in the world, and that the Diabolical Leader is diabolical.

The tournament ensues. More stuntmen are flung about the training grounds in humourously violent ways and more substandard cuts of meat are prepared untill only The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive, The Black American Special Forces Veteran, The All Germany Bare Fist Boxing Champion, and the last of the unnamed contestants remain in contention. That night The Diabolical Leader's Young, Beautifull, And Deadly Daughter visits the room of The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive to A) have sex with him and B) warn him that her diabolical father is planning to kill him by subterfuge tomorrow having discovered who he is and why he is here. She offers to help him escape but he will not leave without doing the job he was sent to do or leave behind his new friends The Black American Special Forces Veteran and The All Germany Bare Fist Boxing Champion to an almost certainly painfull and gruesome death.

The next day dawns and stuntmen line the field where the final matches of the tournament are set to take place. The first match pairing The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive against The Last Of The Unnamed Contestants. The Diabolical Leader nods Significantly to his Favorite Henchman who nods equally significantly back and adjusts his robes slightly so we see the blowdart pipe he is concealing there. The Greatest Martial Artist Alive nods significantly to The Diabolical Leader's Young, Beautifull, And Deadly Daughter who nods back to him as well as nodding to The Black American Special Forces Veteran and The All Germany Bare Fist Boxing Champion.

The fight commences and goes well for The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive untill The Diabolical Leader's Favorite Henchman brings the blowdart pipe to his lips and exhales forcefully. The dart flies toward The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive but is intercepted in midflight by the chest of The Diabolical Leader's Young, Beautifull, And Deadly Daughter who had jumped in front of the deadly projectile. Sadly for her the poison on the dart was just as deadly as she was.

Seeing that his plan has gone wrong the Diabolical leader orders the stuntmen to attack The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive en mass while he retreats to his inner sanctum guarded by his Favorite Henchman. Things would go badly for our hero except that The Black American Special Forces Veteran and The All Germany Bare Fist Boxing Champion take this opportunity to join the battle against the extras leaving The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive to pursue the Diabolical Leader through the Hidden Fortress. He encounters and defeats The Diabolical Leader's Favorite Henchman and then begins his battle against the Diabolocal Leader himself.

The Diabolical Leader has another surprise in store for The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive as he has managed to devise a defense against The Most Brutally Effective Martial Art Style Of All Time owing to the fact the he had been the previous student of The Old Man. Still The Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive barely manages to survive the onslaught of his newly discovered nemesis and resorting to the oldest trick in the book, "Pick two, nyuck, nyuck, nyuck." killed the Diabolical Leader. Taking cold comfort in his revenge for the treachery of the poisoned dart.

The Young Man Who Now Knows He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive takes leave of his new found but from now on life long friends and returns to his father's house performing the personally humiliating requirements to be re-admited to his family. Living in constant fear of The Next Young Man Who Thinks He's The Greatest Martial Artist Alive.

I call foul! That was blatently a fusion of "Enter the Dragon" and the "Karate Kid". The Karate Kid is NOT a Kung Fu movie.

It's a Karate Movie

Actually you did pretty well, Kung Fu movies are pretty much all based around the Journey story type, specifically the journey of the young man (in this respect Star Wars is just like a Kung Fu Movie) or the Hero's Journey.

Your's had a little of both, the Young man's journey as the guy who goes out, meets a master and learns the art before returning home (for a pure young mans journey the master would have needed to be killed by the villian and the young man would have to take revenge).

The Hero's journey is where he fights the great evil, he hasn't been personally wronged as he would be in the young mans story, though sometimes they'll add in an element of that to help the Hero through the final trial "You remember your dog, fluffy?"
"You killed Fluffy! I shall avenge you Fluffy!!!".

Anyway, the Hero fights for great justice, and in the end he leaves and continues his journey to fight for justice elsewhere.

So really your story had it all, I just felt like being obnoxious.
