What happens when you take the greatest choreographer the world has ever seen and put him with the second greatest choreographer the world has ever seen? And then you give them sticks.
You get this fight scene.
I can narrow down a number of favourite weapon fights when it comes to kung fu cinema and this would definitely be in my top five. Maybe even top three. And best of all? It’s not even an old school fight. It’s a fast, modern fight that just so happens to be with old school poles. Lau Kar Leung was 55 years old in this scene. That’s only 9 years younger than Jackie Chan is now. He never got enough credit for doing bananas shit while being an old man. Unbelievable fight. And the crazy thing is that there’s a good two minutes of empty handed fighting before this bit.
Anyone wondering what film it is, it’s Pedicab Driver. Do yourself a favour and pick up the DVD here. It’s the only remastered version of this film out there and while it has terrible subtitles, if more people buy it, Warner might actually dig in their vaults and release the other classics they have stored away.

(Sentences for genius muses and those talking to them. Adjust phrasing where needed)
"Where the hell are you going with your mind?"
"They say I'm the smartest man in the world, but the truth is I've often felt stupid at being unable to relate to anyone."
"You're far too clever for your own good."
"I can't tell you how relieved I am to know you're just as brilliant now as you ever were."
"Why are you asking this if you know it all anyway?"
"Maybe there are one or two things that I know that you don't."
"You hide behind your intelligence."
"Don't be smart. I'm the smart one."
"If you seem slow to me, can you imagine what real people are like?"
"Look, I know there's a thin line between genius and madness, but do we have to show everyone which side we're on?"
"Oh, you're really not as smart as I thought you were. I guess I gave you too much credit."
"For a genius, you can be remarkably thick."
"As you think you're so clever, perhaps you'd like to suggest your own answer to that question?"
"Your problem is that you think you're smarter than everyone else."
"You prove how clever you are on your own patch. This is mine."
"Genius doesn't mean you can treat people any way you want! It means shutting up and doing good work!"
"I'm living in a world of goldfish."
"They say you're a genius. Are you?"
"How can someone so smart be so stupid?"
"I suppose you think you're very clever."
"People tell me I'm not great when it comes to talking to people. You have no idea what it's like being smarter than everyone you know!"
"I won't insult your intelligence by explaining it to you."
"Everyone's so stupid. Even you."
"It is no easy thing for a great mind to contemplate a still greater one."
"You have what I would call forensic intuition developed to the point of genius."
"How hard do you find it, having to say 'I don't know'?"
"I'm smarter than everyone I meet. I know it's bad form to say that, but, in my case, it's a fact."
"No one ever talks about how exhausting it is to be right all the time."
"You're quite smart sometimes, aren't you?"
"You're a smart man. You could be anywhere doing anything. Why do you do this?"
"People don't like it when you're smart and you do things they don't understand."
"I can see the cogs whirring in your mind. How would it be to try an answer without calculation?"
"Sometimes genius is just hard work."
"What's the point in being clever if you can't prove it?"
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure 1989, dir. Stephen Herek
“Stop being so fucking stubborn and let me help!”
“You can’t help me out with this one, I’m sorry.”
“Hate me afterwards, for now just shut up and let me help.”
“I don’t… who am I kidding… fine, go ahead.”
“Why wouldn’t I be here for you, you idiot?”
“Not that bad huh? Say that to me without flinching.”
“I’m not getting it because you won’t let me!”
“We’ve known each other for how long and you still don’t trust me?”
“I know it’s you but… I just… I don’t know.”
“I’m going to take care of this- no! No don’t you even start.”
“Yeah yeah, complain now, you’ll thank me later.”
“Here, take this. No you don’t need to apologize, I get it.”
“Congrats, you have me pinned and now have my attention.”
“I see your point, okay? I get it, I’m a moron.”
“Well this is where we got to, so now what?”
“I blame you, and I don’t care how little sense that makes, this is your fault.”
“Can I just be irrational and vent my nonsensical frustrations out without you trying to logic a sense of calm into me?”
“You’re tired. You’re grumpy. You need a break.”
“This by far has to be one of the ideas that falls under ridiculous and stupid, but yet I’m here helping you anyway.”
“You wanna… you want to- yep you want to rant okay.”
“So someone is clearly out of fucks…”
“Give me five minutes to change your mind.”
“What is it gonna take for you to come down from there?!”
“This plan is stupid. You’re insane. Yet here I am.”
“No no no no no you aren’t going anywhere like that without me.”
Sex is cringe. "Hey do you wanna come over and play boners together?" What naked bullshit. They have played us for fools.
" I wanna put, like-- I wanna-- I wanna make, like...this one, t' like-- I wanna make it a different sound, y'know what I mean ? and then I can, like, press it. "
" -- like your mom. "
" ...fuck off. "
enemies to…. friends? allies?? … sentence starters
“Don’t touch me. You still make me sick.”
“Fine. Come with. Just stay out of my way.”
“I didn’t even need your help. You can go, now.”
“I didn’t want to admit it, but you were good in a fight.”
“Yeah, you’re funny. You’re also still a pain in my ass.”
“I think they lied to us. We aren’t that different, after all.”
“I hated you. I think I still hate you. But, I need your help.”
“If I have to rely on you for this, will I be able to trust you?”
“This doesn’t mean I like you. I still think you’re insufferable.”
“Is this what your friends always have to deal with? I pity them.”
“No, no, don’t you die, now, I just started being able to tolerate you!”
“You have a point. And that might be the scariest thing I’ve ever said.”
“Don’t get the wrong idea. You still disgust me. But you can be useful.”
“Seriously? You’re gonna finally win me over, then go get hurt like that?”
“Maybe… okay, hear me out, maybe we do have something in common.”
“You think this puts us on good terms? You’re still the enemy. You were just convenient.”
“You’re a lot different than I thought you would be. Still not sure if that’s good or bad, yet.”
“I didn’t think you’d be able to change my mind, but now I’m thinking things I never would’ve.”
“Don’t look at me, don’t talk to me, don’t touch me. Let’s get this mission over with, then never acknowledge my existence, again, got it?”
