old martial arts films are so cool and feel like something that is extinct now.
where as these films have punchy sound design and long takes, modern action films ingeneral just don't allow for these types of films to thrive anymore. at least not to my knowledge.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wildly inventive martial arts romp that finds comedy in the clash between a cocky kid and his unorthodox master, delivered through acrobatic fight choreography that rewards close attention with ingenious physical humor. Pure cinema joy masquerading as slapstick.
