If you haven't seen it before, you're in for a treat!(br /)(br /)This short clip shows none other than the martial arts master himself delivering what can only be described as the worlds most incredible 6-inch punch. I'm still trying to figure out if the guy on the receiving end of said punch is brave or incredibly stupid.

It may be the Internet equivalent of the Mos Eisley Cantina, but you can always count on a good laugh or two. Like this guy.(br /)(br /)At some point, this poor guy decided that it would actually be a good idea to try to sell a (b)gun(/b) on Craigslist. So much so, that he devoted what had to be fair amount of time in concocting this amazing posting selling said weapon under the guise of an (i)Under Siege(/i) "DVD".(br /)(br /)While it's normally a good idea to call upon the martial arts expertise of Mr. Seagal to aid one in the selling of a weapon, it would seem this attempt was far from subtle.(br /)(br /)Continue reading for a screenshot of the dubious post.

The new martial arts documentary is actually an adaptation of Ric Meyers' book of the nearly identical title: (i)"Films of Fury: The Kung Fu Movie Book"(/i). In both his book and movie script, Meyers brings a sharp, humorously insightful look at one of films most prolific sub-genres, the Kung Fu movie. The result is what appears to be a uniquely entertaining portrait of martial arts movies and the people that make them shine.(br /)(br /)We'll be trying to make some time to squeeze this one into our schedules, but as soon as we do, we'll let you know how it fares in a review.

And it's about what you'd expect.(br /)(br /)It's entertaining as far as light-hearted martial arts 'films' centered around a paper-thin premise with a luxury car tie-in starring race car champions go. But that's about it. Honestly, I know it's a glorified commercial that can only fit so much story/action in approximately 5 minutes, but I've seen some pretty darn good 5-minute short films that managed to be more interesting with half the budget.(br /)(br /)I hate to be a total downer about it, so watch the film for yourself and let us know what you think in a comment.
