I absolutely agree.... while I did not have the plums to name my girls anything particularly clever, a friend of mine named his daughter Fiana, after the female lead in the anime Armored Trooper Votoms.
Original Film.... has anyone seen it?

Review: Kung Pow

I haven't seen Kung Pow, nor will I most likely... I am curious about the original film though.
I tuned (quite accidentally) into a Kung Fu film on a Sat. afternoon 15 years ago or so and watched a great film about a son studying tattered texts to learn a kung fu style (I think it was crane) to avenge his father. His father's killer used tiger style. The part I thought was great was the practice dummy... When started, marbles would fall through channels in the dummy and the studend would strike in the fashion described in the text. If the form was done correctly, only marbles of a particular color would be collected by the student. In the end, the son defeated the tiger style master only because he had had to improvise the portions of the crane style text that had been damaged. The tiger style master could not predict these new moves.
Anyone who's seen Kung Pow... is this the movie that was used? Thanks!
