This was a funny little Kung-Fu movie my parents had back in the 80s. There are some AMAZING fight scenes, however, including one where a guy fights while balancing a rice bowl. Then there was the training fight on the crazy sticks and poles in the beginning. I wish I could find it again...Oh, the nostalgia. Notice that the bad guy in almost any kung fu movie has a creepy mustache. Also notice that everyone seems to be wearing the same clothes all the time. The chicks were all really hot, and the butcher guy was funny too. Bring back the old 70s Kung Fu flicks! If you can find this movie (my parents owned an Asian foods store, so it was easy for them), you should see it. Kung Fu!

This little-known animated version of "Last of the Mohicans" is one of my favorite animated shorts of all time. The animation is not exactly top-quality, but it often has the feel of a watercolor. The grays and purples of the woodland dawn are beautiful and actually feel like the North American outdoors. The voicework is top-quality, and the percussion-based score is haunting, mysterious, and moody. The Native-American characters are admirable and strong, which is a refreshing change from most Hollywood depictions. The action and intrigue is kid-friendly, but serious and tense at the same time. The makers took some liberty with Fenimore Cooper's original story, but I believe the changes make it a bit better. If you are able to find this film, SEE IT!! I highly recommend it to everyone. I taped it off the TV back in the 80s, and I still enjoy it from time to time.
