Fist of Kenichi's Fury

The title makes it sound like a B grade amv. I admit it's more of the AMV equivalent of guilty pleasure. A simple fun kungfu parody.

The speech in in the audio were all the thoughts of Donnie Yen as he remembered his master's teachings.

First half of the video:
Kenichi (Donnie) thought about the 2 aspects of Jeet Kune do
1) One must be fluid and move according to the opponent's moves and strike according to the opponent's strikes.
2) why attack through 3 elaborated paths when you can make a direct hit through the opponent's weakness in defence.

 In the 2nd half of the video: 
In the style of Jeet Kune Do, Kenichi (Donnie) made a series of 7 strikes towards his opponent.

The 7 strikes:
1st strike is a decoy (in the original, the decoy is a poke to the eyes)
2nd strike to the chest
3rd strike: a blow to the head
4th: an elbow strike
5th strike: a series a punches to the abdomen and a series of fast and powerful kicks
6th: a grappling throw
7th: a punch that can kill a thousand soldiers

Reason it was made:I'm a fan of both series (and also martial arts in general and definitely Bruce Lee who inspired the FOF series) and i always wanted to know how I'd do if i had tried to edit a martial arts film. Basically a short fun Parody. I had fun making it.

No comments? I believe no amv has ever parodied a complete martial arts fight before. Correct me if i'm wrong. I don't need opinions - just quick comments. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. If there are any good kungfu amvs, please let me know too.

No comments?

It´s some kind of popularity thing and a matter of the content/Quality of the video. I just remeber your name because I often used to browse the dragonballarena.net archives.
Uhm yeah I consider your video as "special interesst". You don´t really got my interest with the amv alone.

To the content of the video:
I really didn´t got it first. I thought that it could be something like this, but I´m not really a fan of it.
It really would help if you would show us the original clip. Like a link to YouTube (note about: YT ) or a download.

If you don´t know the original it just doesn´t give me anything. It´s just a undermediocore scene selection/editing combination (now it makes sense why it is this way) with some wired audio that doesn´t invite you to rewatch it again.
Ah speaking about the original clip: You could make a video in the video stuff and place the original into the amv so the viewer can see the parallels of the vids.

I did include the y0tube link in my video comments.

Extract

Audio: ATV Drama serial 'Fist of Fury' starring Donnie Yen who was the choreographer, actor and editor. He wanted the series to be a tribute towards Bruce Lee. It's a TV series made in 1995. I can really appreciate the efforts Donnie made towards the editing of the fights. He's also a fan of undercranking in those days so I tried to adopt a similar style here.

The audio was 99% unadulterated and was from a fight between Donnie Yen and a Japanese Martial Artist . I tried my best to sync Kenichi's fight with Ryuuto to the fast beats and blows of the original audio.

The proof: http://www.y0utube.com/watch?v=CAHT84b3htU
(go to replace 0 with o since a-m-v.org automatically replaces y0utube with boochsack or something)
(you have to watch 1:07 onwards) Take note it is extremely difficult to replicate the exact fight between Donnie and Japanese guy even with the footage available to me. My priority was to synch to the audio, not replicate the fight blow for blow (which is impossible)

yeah i know i should have included subs but despite knowing the language, translating the stuff said was nearly impossible.

The 3rd lines goes vaguely like: The fist should not be hit with intent......it must develop its own consciousness. Oh wait that doesn't even sound right. The 1st 2 lines were totally lost on me. the 4th and 5th lines were about moving according to your opponent's moves and striking at the right opportunity. Its all very deep jeet kune do philosophy stuff.

Yeah, Kenichi is one of my favorite anime too, possibly the ONLY one i know that has a predominantly martial arts theme. That's why i made another one using it
