Simply Deplorable

Reading the "House of Substance" post on The Deadliest Man Alive, I clicked on the Wikipedia link for "Count Dante". Following various links from there, I stumbled upon this hilarious, though poignant, quote in an article on the India martial art varma kalai:

Attempts to capture all the glory for the origin of martial arts in India for China or Greece is deplorable.

I want to visit the parallel universe in which the majority of martial arts movies were filmed in India, and all of them feature elaborate song and dance numbers.

  2. Zatoichi had a pretty good dance number, and that was Japanese.

    I expected a lot more skin in a movie about a "massage therapist".
