Some good discussion points, Anthony. I brought up the emotional problem of killing your daughter's father way back in this thread and got ignored... :frowning: But, I don't think she has to let Bill live - she just has to deal with the emotional conflict - do I kill him? don't I? The...
"Iron Monkey" also has a palm killing move. As well as another HK film I cannot think of right now. It's a big myth thing, and the moment works perfectly. It's not about reality (same thing with B.B. not being upset) it's about the genre moment. 5 steps is a classic way for a villain to die, not...
