HIGH KICK GIRL ( 2009 )

I started to watch this pre-PLANdemic movie at predawn today, Thursday, July 18th, 2024, via my cellphone's 📱 TUBI Streaming App.

It's so strange that I mentioned 

"Japanese girl in a school

uniform" karate 

movie in

my

previous post!  😉

Scene Commentaries:

This Karate Girl is always absent from school, skipping classes to go look for people to beat up❗😏❗ Doesn't she ever spend time at home? Is she a "Latchkey Child"? How'd she come up with the money to pay for her Karate Lessons? By beating up kids for their Lunch Money? Where's Child Protective Services when it's needed?  😄

"Kei! I saw 👀 your panties."  With that, let the SHOW begin.  😄

The Black Belt 🥋 Hunter.

The Kata Fundamentals. It's good to have a solid foundation. But, FYI, the more you master the Katas, the more your moves become predictable❗ 😕  My Karate Dojo in the Philippines had a few Brown belters who would win in a match against other Dojos' Black belters. I often wondered why that was possible. 🤔 Years later, I realized that it was because the longer you practice to perfect your moves, the more you "groove" yourself into "tight tolerances"! 💡 So that if you throw a punch or a kick, you get easily countered because your opponent knows exactly which part of his body is the intended target. Basically, it boils down to this in a REAL Fight: Don't doubt your body's built-in Self-Preservation Survival Instinct which relies mainly on Gross Motor Skills❗😎❗

Why were they kicking each other in the Upper Arm? They should have kicked each other in the Thigh or the Knee!  😕

The Bait!  🎣 

If she only had a cellphone to call her Sensei ....  😒

"Karate is not for fighting. It's a martial art which guarantees protection and survival." 👌

The main "Destroyer" with the knife! 🗡️  🤣 🤣 🤣

At this point, I'd be super winded 👇:

But, then again, I'm not a Spring Chicken any longer!  😁 😁 😁

This movie shows the Scorpion 🦂 Kick many times! Is there a Karate style that emphasizes this particular kick?  🤔 I always thought of this kick as a part of Kung Fu.  😕

Thirty years to get her Black belt!  😮  Yup, the Sensei is not operating a "McDojo"! But will he still be alive then to give her a Black Belt?  🤷‍♂️

There are outtakes during the Ending Credits.  🙂

Note: This movie actually shows the 2 Quick Kill Moves that were not shown in the movie, KILL! I'm not going to reference the time stamps because that would be irresponsible of me to do so❗

I like this Karate movie.  👍 The fights are more realistic than in the Kung Fu movie fights.  👎

Tidbits:

Let me guess which shampoo he prefers.

GEE, YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC

Shampoo--'gotta be! And

Conditioner, too. 🧴

😜  ❗  🤪

I missed these Shampoo and Conditioner.

They did actually live up to their 

name! But I guess that they

stopped making these

because of 

FJB❗

😠

Dolphy is quite concerned about the developments, post assassination attempt on Pres. Trump's life!

ONE-PERCENT WARRIOR

I started to watch this "Wear Masks 😷 And Practice Social Distancing And Don't Mind Us Allowing ILLEGALS & JIHADISTS Into Our Country While We Tell You To Stay Indoors To Avoid Getting Sick During The PLANdemic And To Remind You To Be Sure To Just Mail In Your 2024 Ballots In Next Year's Residential Selection For Ballot Stuffers And Ballot Mules To Fraudulently Collect Your Ballots For The Sake Of Your Own Health & Wellbeing" movie at predawn today, Saturday, June 22nd, 2024, in bed 🛏️ via my cellphone's 🤳 TUBI Streaming App.

Scene Commentaries:

BIRTH ....  👶

"I want to train my co-stars in "real action," and make a "100% Pure Action Film." 

"All they want is fantasy."

Assassination-jutsu  😬

The disillusionment of the once-famous Action Hero.  😕

After the introductory scenes, the Beginning Credits end at 00:13:42.  😐

The 1%er Teaser Poster.  😳

The Sakaguchi's 1% Wave Punch is the Japanese's answer to Bruce Lee's 1-inch Punch!  😎

The "Median Plane."  😂 😂 😂

I wonder if the abandoned island is the same one used in the James Bond SKYFALL movie?  🤔 

The Nutcracker Fight Dance Choreography!  😆 😆 😆

A stray bullet!  😲

"Film the whole thing." 

Arachnid.  😮

"I could kill you right now. But I won't. Know why? Because I'm an Action Film actor."  🤣 🤣 🤣 This is probably the best line that I have heard recently in the movies! 👌😁👍 They should add this to the list of Famous Movie Quotes❗

"Who are you?" Lady, how is he supposed to answer your question IF you kill him first❓🤷‍♂️❗🤦‍♂️❓ Duhh ....   🙄

Maria, the daughter of the late Chairman of the Kurokawa-kai Crime Syndicate.  😯

Two Tons Of (Fun) Cocaine!  😬

👉 🙂 👈!  😃

The Arachnid's Hit Squad led by Shishido.  😦

"Daddy ... I think you should watch out. Not even the real Jackie (Chan) could do this." 😶

"As it turns out, he was the real deal."  👌

Assassination-jutsu finally in action!  🍿👌🙂👍🥤

Close quarters engagement requires the use of handguns, seems to be the tactical message.   🤨

"Jackie? I think I prefer Bruce Lee."  😎

Why didn't Camera Guy introduce her to the 2 guys before he left to finish his job?  🤷‍♂️

Hey, wait a minute! This Action Guy read my April 25th, 2024 blog on ABIGAIL and used my "flashlight secret weapon" in the dark❗ Copycat martial artists, I swear❗😠❗

Wait a minute, part 2❗ How come the bad guys don't have flashlights❓🤷‍♂️❓

"Don't yell before you attack."  😁

One of them could just have tackled Sensei to the ground! And everyone of them could've just piled on top of him to immobilize him!! While Maria proceeded to hog-tie Sensei!!!  😕

"It's not just your father. You're the same."  😳

"So, he really was Jackie Chan." Dang, Bruce Lee ain't getting any respect here! It must be because he yells before he attacks.  😏

"Why are you guys hitting it off? This isn't an action flick, asshole."  😄

"Guys who hit girls are scum!"

The truth about Akira.  😮

"Real action film actors are strong."  😐

This action movie's more realistic approach to Fight Scenes is in line with my personal belief! 👌🙂👍

The late Sonny Chiba is to Quentin Tarantino just as Tak Sakaguchi is to Cine-Man❗Move over, Quentin! Cine-Man is now in Tinseltown ❗😎❗

This movie is a must-watch!  🍿👌🤓👍🥤

There is currently a territorial dispute in a southern border town between 2 different kinds of ILLEGALS about who can dominate the Big US Government:

Here are the results of last night's walk:  🚶‍♂️

6.97 kilometers 

6.73 km

-------

Today, Saturday, June 22nd, 2024, I took my Saturn SC-1 to OCM Auto Repair for its scheduled 60K miles/96,561 km Maintenance. Its Odometer reading is presently at 60,627 miles/97,570 km. I brought it in at ~8:05 a.m.

I took this picture while I waited inside of 

the McDonald's where I had a large

cup of coffee. I asked for some 

creamer that they forgot to 

add in & I forgot about

'til after I drank the 

whole thing! 🤦‍♂️

Duhh .... 🥴

The scheduled maintenance work was done shortly after I took the picture, almost 2 hours after the shop owner, Omar, got in my car. I like this auto shop. They treat me very well. And they do good work!  Omar charges $140/hour for labor. My car was worked on for about 2 hours. So, for labor alone, I should have been charged $280! But The Total For The Whole Thing, PARTS & LABOR, Was Only $278.23❗👌🤑👍❗

I went to the Admiral Callaghan Lane Grocery Outlet Bargain Market to buy some groceries. I also bought a bottle of Dawn Dish Detergent because I read a tip on how to make one's own Dawn Powerwash!

I need to try this on a very stubborn 

popcorn grease stain on

my jeans! 👖 

They have a new checker. It is her 1st day of training, a trial by fire! I told her that it will get easier later on. 👌

When I got home, I wanted to spray some Belt Dressing on my car's Alternator Belt. I always make it a habit to do so after each Oil Change. But I left the Belt Dressing in my other car!  🤦‍♂️  I'll fetch it from my Hyundai Accent tomorrow. Lord, please don't turn me into a Decrepit, Dotard, pee-pad brandon!  🥺

In the meantime ...

I finally got around to putting Super

Glue to the base of the Rubber 

Hose that I slipped on my

car's antenna. I had to 

hold it in place for

5 minutes 'til

it dried.

I'm about to have my late breakfast now at 3:00 p.m.

JIU JITSU, R ( 1 h 42 m )

I saw this movie today, Friday, October 27th, 2023, at home, lying down on my futon, via my TUBI streaming app. 

-

This Nick Cage movie is a let-down for me, I'm sorry to say. And the "comic relief" soldier is a pointless addition to the cast of characters! It's mostly about fight dance choreographies between a "ninja predator"-type alien that comes to Earth every 6 years to get it on with 9 of our planet's best fighters who are prepared for the kill-or-be-killed battle by a dedicated lineage of monks who were originally taught to fight by the alien. 

6 & 9 reference Yin-Yang duality? 

In other words, the alien shows up periodically to kill the students of HIS Students and since only THE Best 9 are chosen every 6 years, the ones that are spared are the incompetent ones who then train the future generations of fighters! 🤦🏽‍♂️ Can you say, Law of Diminishing Returns, without actually saying it? 🤓  I don't know about you, but I think that Mr. Ninja Predator Alien  👽 guy initially stacked the Odds in his or its ( whichever pronoun is suitable and I'm not one to argue against him, her, it, they, them, whatever 🙄 ) favor .... Note: Martial Arts masters really don't teach their own students every trick up their sleeves! ( My own sensei accidentally discovered a pressure point when he sparred with someone but refused to tell me which pressure point it is! )  😕 This time around, the team is led by an Obi Wan Kenobi wannabe hippie ( according to Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 ). The reference to Jiu Jitsu, i.e. Leverage, only comes in past the 1 hour & 10 minute mark since the fights are mostly in other forms of both armed & unarmed styles. But, if I remember correctly, Leverage techniques were developed by the Judo specialists. "Ju Dotsu" for the title, perhaps? 🤷🏽‍♂️ And the fights, themselves, show "holes" in both defense and offense That Are Not Exploited ❗And Ninja Predator Alien 👽 guy sure has an unlimited amount of Shuriken Stars shooting out of his--or its--wrists. Lastly, that took more than "5 or 6 seconds." 🛎️

The opening scene showing a comet barreling down to Earth 🌍 doesn't make sense at all because the trailing vapors are just floating around everywhere instead of being concentrated into a tail formation; as if they're just floating around the stationary comet in an atmospheric space 😉  instead of out in the vacuum of space, especially considering the speeds at which a comet ☄️ travels! 🤦🏽‍♂️

-

With all of that said, this movie truly bombed at the Box Office ❗

-

Even if you take the COVID "pandemic" lockdown into consideration! But it might have a silver lining, after all. 🤞

https://www.looper.com/362126/the-nicolas-cage-martial-arts-flop-thats-crushing-it-on-netflix/

Nicolas Cage's recently released movies did well at the Box Office, though. I'm talking about THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT, RENFIELD, THE RETIREMENT PLAN & BUTCHER'S CROSSING. I saw them all, except for the last one, on the Big Screen and enjoyed them enough to watch them 2X each! 🍿👌🙂👍🥤 But I missed seeing Butcher's Crossing on the Big Screen. ☹️ Nicolas Cage, if you're reading this, Sorry, Bro .... 😶‍🌫️

P. S. Nicolas Cage will be in next year's Spiderman movie. 🙂

TIDBITS: The 168 Asian Grocery Store in my neighborhood just opened. 👌 Yesterday was their Grand Opening. They sure have a lot of Mexican-looking Chinese stockers working there!  😄 The store has 13 aisles, all in all. But They Left The 13th Aisle unnumbered! I guess that it's also a bad luck number for them, too!  😕 It's the aisle with a bakery, coffee bar & hot Chinese to-go food counter. Their Breakfast Aisle has Teas, Coffees & Cereals that I've never seen before. The Teas are worth trying; especially since they come in cute glass jars. Oops, they sell a # 113 coffee! 😬 How in heck did it get added to their shelf merchandise? And will it negate 168's Good Luck energy?

-

The 168 Asian Grocery Store is in direct competition with Seafood City and Island Pacific since it carries a lot of stuff that are also sold at the 2 Pinoy stores. But it mostly caters to the Chinese. They have a Taiwanese sausage ( Longanisa style ) in the frozen section that I might try someday. 🤤 😋

I went to the Neighborhood Wal-Mart to see if it's affected by the new store in the same shopping area. It may just be .... There were just a few shoppers in there.

Last night, at 7:50 pm, as I walked up the curb by the children's playground at Dan Foley Baseball ⚾/Soccer ⚽ Sports Field, my left foot couldn't clear the curb because of my Achilles Heel pain & tight Calf Muscles! As I was falling, I quickly moved forward to avoid face-planting myself on the sidewalk! I couldn't recover my balance and fell on the grass ( better grass than concrete )!! When I got home and removed my socks, I noticed that my left Ankle & Lower Leg were swollen!!! 

This evening, on my way to my car to do some shopping, I noticed that I was back to walking in a normal way, with no Ankle pain & with very little Calf Muscles tightness ❗ ❗ ❗😊 I guess that the jarring accident readjusted my Ankle & Calf Muscles. 😎👍

I think 🤔 that in order for me to fix my hearing and vision problems, I will need to get into a fight with some asshole here at the park and allow myself to get hit in the face a few times! 😁
