Yeah... never let me write cornball Kung-Fu movie plots

YESS!! I knew that part would get you! It's one of the things that makes Trial of the Dragon one of the best Kung-Fu movies! The fights are also super awesome, but that's besides the point! They overcome their long seated hatred for one another, and fight the dragon that threatens to destroy them all, thus realizing how petty their differences really were!

[Chie outright hugs Umi when it seems like she understands what makes this movie so great. Then she lets her go to talk really fast about the rest of it.]

I said the best part was with his master training him, but then I remembered that it's in the sequel where they show how he and his rival became enemies. The first one is a lot more about the action than the story, where the others actually flesh out the world a bit more. You can't really watch them without having seen the first one though. The scene where he and his master are training is so much more meaningful when you know the hardships they've been through.

[What are those hardships? Well she'd have to watch the rest of the saga to find out!]

Ahhh... good times.
