Wow.  You KNOW the guy is a badass when he can beat you to death with an old
guy's tongue (that's still attached to the old guy).  I want kung fu skills
like THAT!!!

Hey, I thought you were going camping this weekend?

The third was the worst of the series.  The fourth one I found hilarious!

(Note: we own all four :) ).

That's good. It's a commedy.

Yes, who doesn't, since kung-fu, if performed properly, can in fact defy 
the very laws of physics and human biology as we know it.

There are so many things wrong with that image, it's beyond funny, it's 
tragic.

The first movie was good. Good actors, decent directing, etc. The second 
movie shouldn't have been made until they could afford Kevin Bacon. If 
they could afford him, they might have been able to afford some other 
things, not the least of which would have been a better plot. (or at 
least a better execution of it). To make a third and fourth is just 
inviting trouble. If they are good, then maybe the second can be 
forgotton and buried, and the latter ones renumbered.

Sam

P.S. The first movie gave me many tense dreams after watching it. The 
idea of man-eating worms under the ground is somewhat unsettling.

FWIW, I'm more metrosexual than Michael Gross.  But an additional way in which
this doesn't work is that the poster attempts to put a type-cast actor like
Michael Gross as an earthy, rugged, good ol' boy.

It's certainly the worst I've ever seen. I'm unlikely ever to sample its 
contents.

It doesn't look that bad to me. In fact the ground looks like
something Thomas de Groot has rendered in Kathy's World. :)
