Bond is in Venice hunting down those who have stolen the Moonraker shuttle. On one of his moonlight reconnaissance missions, he enters a glass manufacturer, where to his surprise he is confronted by a samurai(Chang).
The pair fight through the glass shop, which leads to an awful lot of expensive crystal being smashed to pieces. Before long, Bond gets the upper hand in the battle and Chang runs off to the storeroom upstairs.
Following him, Bond is caught unaware when Chang jumps him from behind and starts choking him with a metal chain. Bond manages to free himself with a few elbows into Chang's ribs and crashing him into a few crates.
Once free, he kicks Chang and climbs up a rope into the buildings clock tower. Chang climbs up the stairs to confront Bond once again. It should be noted at this point that in the background you can hear someone singing down below. The fight continues in harmony with the singing, and as the singer reaches a crescendo, Bond throws Chang through the clock face and he falls to his death onto the piano below.
Looking down at the corpse Bond, as masterful as ever, delivers the line "Play it again, Sam."
Two problems:
* I clicked a picture on the homepage to get here, but the picture doesn't display itself in the review itself, I've had this problem elsewhere, (Quist, Vargas) is it only temporary?
* Second, I believe that "Martial Arts" or "Swordplay" would fit this death.
interesting, looks like this might be a throwback from the issues we had a few months back, the images are there, just not linked up....will add them to the write up.
As for categories, i think swordplay is fair enough, but i dont think we can add in martial arts really, it is just fisticuffs!!
Ah, yes, I was thinking, "Hey, he's Asian, he must know Karate, right?" Heh, actually, Sugar does know Aikido, not sure if that applies though.
Message truncated and subsequent part moved to this thread in general chat.
