Oh man, what the heck was that movie? Was it the one with the figure skaters?

Fear not the voters, but the frauds. I don't know if the futures markets have dope on fraud prospects, but they sure like Dubya's:

Cordially...

Is it from George C. Scott's big speech at the start of "Patton"?

Waynes world 2?

It's taken from the movie "Tootsie", imo.

Nope, nope, nope.

I'll give a hint: It's from a small-budget, virtually unknown but critically-well-regarded martial arts film/drama.

How about Hot Shots?

PLease disregard my other posts-they are plotz

Karate Kid 3?

Ah-hem.

Jamie, I don't think Karate Kid 3 was critically well-regarded.

Wasn't that the one with the insane pony-tailed global mogul who just also happened to be a karate master?

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story?

Are you sure it wasn't The Sphynx from Mystery Men?

I would venture that the early polls trend for Bush because of people voting before they go to work. The Core Dems (aka 'jobless wonders') are having breakfast right now (they just crawled up from their parents basements a few minutes ago).

CBS of course will announce several states for Kerry at 5 pm ET, even though the polls will still be open for hours.

Yep, that's the one.

I suppose if he, uh, mogulled at an early age, he'd have a lot of free time for training.

"plotz"=simultaneously imploding and exploding

T'ain't pretty.

The movie is Tuff Turf. This sicko:

Has about fifteen million pics from all her movies, with about 200 from that particular one. Go crazy, Ace.

The movie is Tuff Turf

C'mon, now. Can't be. That would be a cosmic coincidence of frightening dimensions.

The movie I'm getting it from is, um, well gee, I forget the title now, and I can't seem to google it up. I thought it was Lace and Steel, or Steel and Lace, or something similar to that (steel and something which is soft and used in martial arts), but Lace and Steel seems to be the title of an entirely different movie.

Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? It's an early-nineties semi-autobiographica. independent movie which about a young man's journey to China with the backdrop of the cultural opening of the eighties, and then the closing of that openness, mixed with martial arts training (and fights), and starring an actual big-time martial arts instructor as his instructor in the film (who was also his instructor in real life, IIRC). I think that cat's name was Master Pan-- Master somebody, at least.

Okay, I found it. It's Iron and Silk.

Pretty close to Steel and Lace.

Good movie, if an odd one, and low-budget starring no one at all.

Mr. Plotz: he was the director of the Warner Bros. studios

Here's a clip
