It's OK, I laughed at Yi's joke, though I don't know what "cooties" are...

You know I love you like you were my own goldfish, dontcha!?

I didnt understand why those other guys got upset over it either. Seemed like a harmless joke, not meant to be insulting, but more about making use of the '5-year old angle'

'cooties' are a fictional disease, made up by kids who say that kids from the other gender have cooties...

I wonder if Grim has had his first kiss yet

Very good

I had to look it up too:

I think it's an American word.

It was just a low jab, that's all.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 24 Feb 2008, 00:51

It wasnt meant as a 'jab'. We all know Grim has some trouble with the ladies, and we often make some jokes about it. When the joke comes up that he's only 5 years old, it's a pretty logical follow-up joke.

Ahhhh... anyway, I absolutely meant no harm or offence at the expense of Grim.
Grim is the best thing that ever happened in my life, the sparkle in my eye, the reason I get up in the morning and face the dark clouds with a smile, knowing that somewhere, out there, Grim is thinking about me as well...

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 24 Feb 2008, 01:15

I know you didn't mean any offence by it. I never thought you did. It's just an easy thing to say when you have a partner yourself.

Anyway Grim didn't find offence to it so I'll shut up.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 24 Feb 2008, 01:17

I would have made the exact same joke if I had been single

What about an English accent or would that be blasphemy?

I can do some English accents... bits 'n' pieces... nothing that would fool you guys. My American ain't that hot, but if your only exposure to American accents is via TV I'd maybe get away with it in the short term.

Shaolin Challenge Ninja the official English title? That sounds so exploitation-esque to me.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 06 Mar 2008, 12:18

No, Heroes Of The East is the official title. Shaolin Challenges Ninja is the old US title.

I have the 1989 Warner UK VHS and the title on that title was 'Shaolin Challenges Ninja'. I doubt that's the export title.

The 'HK English' title is 'Heroes Of The East'.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Mar 2008, 23:57

Heroes of the East is the original English title

Shaolin Challenges Ninja is the English export title.

Challenge of the Ninja was the US theatrical title

Never heard that last one before!

Looking forward to this. Judging from the theatrical film, this should change my current perception of Lau Kar-leung as a one-trick pony

Me neither and it's odd Shaws would want to cheapen it with a tripey title! Thanks for that Mark.

The credits are genuine old white ones on my VHS (2:35:1>4:3 squishing too).

Judging from the theatrical film, this should change my current perception of Lau Kar-leung as a one-trick pony.

I love your use of the English language

What do you mean "theatrical film"?

And to answer your question (if I'm understanding right): Shaw tomfoolery in the first half, the second is pretty decent (bar a few instances)

theatrical trailer sorry!

Challenge of the Ninja would have been selected by World Northal, or whoever the distributor was
