This has got to be one of my favorite scenes from Shaolin Soccer, especially with the obligatory Chinese man with no shirt and a gut hanging out. Again, this clip is a prime example of why Asians shouldn't dance.

Asians can't dance, but they sure can fight. This scene from Kung Fu Hustle is reminiscent of the days I would go with my dad to Empress Theater (on the corner of Nuuanu and Beretania) and watch Run Run Shaw movies.
