meganbmooreArahan is about an awesome girl with a sword, an ok guy with a sword who stole her show, ancient tao masters, a resurrected evil tao master with questionable fashion sense, magic tattoos, and awesome fights.
Basically, we have the Seven Tao Masters, who range age 50-70~ in looks, but are apparently much older. And there's only five of them. There used to be seven. I forget what happened to one, but the seventh broke the rules and interfered with normal humans to take out Evil Warlord, only to become corrupted by human desires and get locked in a crypt or something for centuries by his buddies. He comes back all old and wrinkly, but literally sucks the young out of a guy to become young and pretty. Then he starts wearing pinstriped clothing, accompanied by a long yellow coat with fake fur. Later, he adopts a black coat and red shirt, which is a vast improvement.
Meanwhile, one of the five remaining masters has a daughter, Awesome Heroine, who has killer fighting skills, superior(for the movie) fashion sense, and inexplicably works in a convenience store. She devotes her life to trying to keep the masters our of trouble and hunting down Evil Doers. While engaging in the latter, she accidentally beats the crud out of our hero, Dork Cop, with a chi blast. She takes him home so the five masters can patch him up, and they start training him when they realize he has super chi powers. He's ok and has decent fashion sense, but is far less worthy of being the main hero than Awesome Heroine. But it's a guys' action flick, so he has to be the main hero.
Swords are used as projectile weapons. Tattoos of Great Magical Importance hop from person to person. Chi makes things float. Collision of chi makes shirts fly off. But not pants. People literally shout and growl their emo at each other. Badassery is established by throwing a teacup with the speed of a bullet. Greater badassery is established by catching said teacup on the flat tip of your sword, spinning said sword around a bit, and then displaying the teacup spinning on the flat tip of the sword. People also travel by running across and leaping between rooftops, and run up and down the sides od skyscrapers.
My life is wholly unchanged, but I had great fun. Meanwhile, if i ever see the lead actress in something where she doesn't play an awesome fighter heroine, I won't know what to do. I had the same problem with Ha Ji Won...
I bring an MV with fights, gravity defying running, and villains with bad fashion sense.
