Viewing Notes
What starts as a romantic comedy turns into a damn good fighting flick by the second half. Really fun movie about the cultural differences between China and Japan centered around martial arts and which country has the better fighting techniques. Covers a lot of ground with a variety of styles. Really good movie and one to revisit. Listened to most of the Bey Logan commentary which is also very good.
