I finally saw Kid w/the Golden Arm
it was pretty good. it's hard for me to get past the old school acting but i'm amazed at how agile the guys are. I appreciate the no wire-fu era because these guys are doing all the stunts and fight choreography all with natural agility and talent
my two favorite characters was Golden Arm and the drunk government agent.
also, I noticed the movie Iron Monkey used the idea of the sand palm. in Iron Monkey the good guy was hit with what they called the Buddha's palm. it had the same exact affect as the sand palm did in Kid w/the Golden Arm. I thought that was pretty cool
