Current Events » Help me find an old kung fu movie I forgot using this scene description.
It was way back from the 70s, those hilarious ones that were over the top with super exaggerated movements, and the sound effects were like blocks slamming together.

The main scene I remember was the hero and the villain sitting down for tea. The villain is super distinctive because he's a super pale guy. Like, painted white, basically. Like he's a zombie or something. They pretend to be cordial, but then they start fighting with chop sticks.

The hero is like, "You!?!"

And then the villain is like "ah, hah hah hah, but I was only getting a fly!" and it zooms in on the fly in his chopsticks.

The fight escalates from there and there are all kinds of wacky antics. I think the villain has a hump? And it gets punched in and out of his body or something?

It's an amazing fight scene and it would behoove CE to help me remember the name of the movie so other people can enjoy it.

Sounds like this could be the 1978 movie "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin"! The movie is known for its crazy fight scenes and comedic elements. The film follows a young man who enters a Shaolin monastery and learns kung fu from the masters there, and goes on to fight the evil Manchu government.

Sure, here are some other martial arts movies from the 1970s that may have similar scenes:
  1. "The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter" - Known for its innovative use of martial arts and the use of poles as weapons.
  2. "Five Fingers of Death" - A Hong Kong martial arts film, it is known for its unique fight scenes and over-the-top stunts.
  3. "The Drunken Master" - A classic martial arts movie, it features Jackie Chan as a drunkard who learns the secrets of kung fu.
  4. "Kung Fu Hustle" - A Hong Kong martial arts comedy film that combines over-the-top fight scenes with slapstick humor.
  5. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" - A martial arts film that won four Oscars, it features a romance set against the backdrop of a Chinese civil war.
  6. "Kung Fu Panda" - An animated martial arts film, it tells the story of Po, a chubby panda who dreams of becoming a kung fu champion.
  7. "Shaolin Soccer" - A Hong Kong comedy martial arts film that features soccer played with Chinese weapons and techniques.

I've searched and searched google and I get nothing.

Guys I know this exists.

Let's make it the CE project for the day.

We have to hunt down this movie.

The villain was REALLY pale, like he was painted white, not just a generic white haired due. And they were fighting with chopsticks over a dumping or something.

Can you at least remember if the movie was original English or Chinese import?
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Good scene, but that's not it. The one I'm thinking of involves far less skill, and far more cheesiness. The movements are much slower and goofier, and make louder sound effects. It almost comes off like that Waynes World satire fight scene or something.

The names don't sound familiar.

I THINK the villain had a hump in the FRONT of his torso, and it gets punched to his back? I might be misremembering this detail, or it might be from a different goofy movie, I dunno.

Don't know if it has a chopstick scene but "The Dead and the Deadly" has some over the top pale characters.

@Kungfu_Hero knows a lot about kung fu movies. Let's see if the summoning ritual works.

Kung Fu Panda and Shaolin Soccer are my favorite 1970s movies
36 Chamber of Shaolin has chopsticks but used in different context I believe.

its probably a Shaw Brothers film so try watching clip videos like this one to see if any of the characters look familiar???

there are a lot of Shaw Bros films though
Now or never.

I do not, alas! Catching a fly with chopsticks sounds vaguely familiar, but a villain who's painted white doesn't ring any bells.

ooh
they're not the "antagonists" per se, but "Spiritual Kung Fu" starring Jackie Chan features some spirits with white skin and long pink hair that cause some mischief, and Jackie Chan's character does fight them

The white faced guy in this scene is super comedic and hams it up. It comes off as pure comedy.

You have summoned me, but you are not my master until you speak my real name. Or maybe I grant three wishes. Or writing people's name in this book kills them. Whichever. XD

Hmm. I'm not sure actually. FF Redux is right. These are common tropes in kung fu movies, so it's like a scene an AI would make. It sounds like Lau Kar Leung schtick.

Could it be this scene from Dirty Ho? They keep trying to kill each other while pretending to be cordial. A lot of what you mentioned isn't here, but maybe you're conflating different movies. I know I've done that. The pale eunuch villain is super common in these movies.

That's not it, although good try. It started out with those kind of antics until becoming a full blown fight.

But I did unlock a new detail in my memory! The villain CREAKED. As in, every single movement he made was like a creaking, cracking movement, like his bones were all fused or something. And the fighting was VERY choreographed. Like, one two one two, they would make really obvious start stop movements, and every one would be a loud creaking from the villain.

Hmm, Ill come out of lurker status to try to help with this mystery movie.

Firstly, I know Ive seen a movie where someone has a hump that gets pushed from back to front. I just cant remember what it was.

My first thought with such silliness was that it could be one of the Yuen clan movies like Shaolin Drunkard or Miracle Fighters. I cant seem to find a chopstick fight scene, though.

That creakiness thing sounds really familiar, too. I know Ive seen this movie lol.

Yeeees, we're getting closer.

Combine your memories, make them into one.

Hump punched from back to front and back.

Creakiness and cracking in every stiff movement of the bad guy.

White painted face.

"But I was only catching a flyyyyyy!"

The chopsticks were only used for part of the scene. They quickly escalate to regular fighting I believe.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO *air horns* *air horns*

THANK YOU! Man, how did you track this down?

And it's every bit as glorious as I remember. The lines, the moves, the facial expressions. Man, the bad guy's moves are pure, golden comedy. It's perfection. The creaking, the head movements. So good. Forcing the food into his mouth, "that roast pork is very tasty". "Delicious!"

I got most the details right, too. The bad guy isn't quite as hideous as I remember him being, though. I remember him looking more zombie like. And I was right about the hump getting punched through his body!

Buddhist Fist was actually the last of those that I looked over because I thought it was one of their more ordinary movies and less likely to have a bunch of craziness in it.

Speaking of their other movies, heres a bonus scene from Taoism Drunkard!
