Two best points about this segment are: 1) The origin behind the three section staff feels believable and natural. 2) The opponent is not a villainous figure. He may be an antagonist, but he's genuinely just doing his job, wants the best for San Te and treats him politely and respectfully as a junior or an equal in defeat or victory. So many examples of modern media fail in this, so it's important to acknowledge what this movie does so well. BRAVO

@josephsalah647

​@@Vangror You don't seem to understand what the word antagonist means. It is a label for movie terminology. The role of the antagonist is to be an obstacle before the protagonist in his pursuit of a specific goal. It is not correlated to alignments/morality. A protagonist is simply the character that the story follows, and the main perspective that is conveyed to readers/watchers. A protagonist can be morally defunct, perhaps evil by our standards, and the story will still follow his track. Tony Soprano is an example of an amoral protagonist. At the same time, an antagonist could be someone who harbors good will. Not all stories are about a great hero's journey and justice. Not all stories follow a black & white formula of Benevolence and Malice. This is generally for anyone with this misconception. The point is, it is the objective thing to call that character an antagonist. At the same time, he is the protagonist's "friendly rival".

I don’t think it was a rivalry. I think the older monk really wanted to push San Te to his limits to see how he would function in a stand up fight. He was proud when San Te finally held his own.

I love the philosophy of how he created the staff. He basically started using the spear with one hand since it frees up his other. And he just reacts without thinking, naturally letting his body do what it does and thus leading to the creation of a staff with even more versatility.

@xSuperiorManx

I always thought that he created the Sansetsukon by pure chance. While training the the garden, he accidentally struck the bamboo trunk and it hit him, where a solid, one-piece weapon like the Bo staff would have been blocked because the staff has no joints. While trying to get out from unter the bamboo he stems the trunk up with his weapon, thus creating another "joint" and the bamboo piece hits him again. So the protagonist realizes that a "flexible staff" or multi-jointed weapon would be able to hit his enemy "around" any guard the opponent could throw up against it and so he decides to craft a fitting weapon.

What made this my favourite part of the movie was making everybody who thought that the master was an arrogant douche was actually the guy who helped the protagonist the most

I think this sequence alone showed me what made Lau Kar Leung so different as a filmmaker. So many films of the time depicted the growth of a martial artist as a one way street. Start weak-> work hard at martial arts -> become strong. It's a satisfying format, but shallow. What makes this (and other LKL) films different is that he really simply shows the mental evolution that takes place as well. Here we see considered trial-and-error. San Te tries new things, and we see the logic behind why he tries them, but then he fails. It's not simply about working hard, but about evolving your thinking, discarding what doesn't work, and developing the creativity and bravery to experiment.

Coolest weapon ever is the 3 section staff. Till this day no game developer has ever put it in a game or at least use it to it's full potential. This would be one awesome weapon in a video game with it's mechanics.

What I love about this is they're fighting because San Te learned too fast. and the teacher was like, "Hol up! Nah! This isn't just about learning the forms, show me you know what to do!" The traditional way would be to up your skill in any weapon, and think of a counter to his butterfly swords with that weapon. San Te's too quick though! He already got the skills, all he could do is increase his speed so he can't be countered! But nah, he had to have a big brain moment with that bamboo. This invention of the 3 section staff is like Tony Stark getting outta the cave!

It’s a good thing he fought the Senior Monk three times before he fought General Tien or he would have been killed. San Te kept practicing and learned counter moves to senior monks sword style. It wasn’t until he asked the senior monk “teacher, are you alright” did he learn how to defeat him. The teacher’s answer “ I’m alright I still have my sword”. When San te took the sword away he became the Master Killer. He easily beat General Tien in the final fight.

3 section staff was very difficult for me to wield. I have high respect for those who use it well.

It’s really great that even when he’s educated in everything he’s learn, Gordon’s character still learns and adapts

One of my favorite moments of this movie.

Lau Kar-Fai and Lee Hoi-Sang such a masters. This is when Hong Kong movie industry at it's best. Such a classic movie and martial arts stunts which can't never be replicated again today.

Great scene. A lot of entertainment for a 6 and a half minute video. I should watch this movie someday

Man, I love San Te. That guy visualized his success and followed through!!

The object was for him to find a weapon that complimented his style. He prepared him for the man he wanted revenge on who used two swords.

I always wondered what Bruce Lee would have thought of this film? While I have no way of knowing, I bet it would have been something he really admired and perhaps even had a role in producing? It really is a gem of a story how San Te rose from the klutzy peasant to a master.

This fighting skill should be taught to the disciples of buddha in India too. As far as I know, kung-fu was invented by a hindu monk (bodhidharam), who travelled to China and monks at there also got impressed by his meditation and fighting style.

Came here after reading jujutsu kaisen just out of curiosity of how they actually use it

You are my hero. These two had the greatest fight scenes in these entire movie (my personal opinion, there wwre more of course, especially with Veteran Mr. Lo) To say it's supposed to be a training session 😊. These two are my favorite actors, and I get super excited when they both play monks in their movies. Peace ❤

I love how the sword master is developed internaly to a point where he smile and like his adversary in every aspect, cheers to actor.

I allways liked the Justice Abot. At first one may think that he maight be Jelouse on San Te quickly rising the ranks. But he actually reallised that him to quickly rising through the ranks would in the long run hurt hi progress. So he gave him a challenge to overcome and is actually very pleased when his student not only shows humility and honor but eventually finds a way to take the challenge that goes beyond sheer talent and stuborn training

This movie ROCKS!

I was trying to search wu tang clan 😂

The reasons why the master was able to defeat him the first two times is good footwork and closing the distance. Once he got inside, San Te's weapons were useless because they lacked flexibility. Once he created the 3-sectional staff, the whole thing changed. He now had a long and short distanced weapon. Where this is nicely illustrated is when the master chops and San The blocks with the middle staff. Personally, I think that first chop is a decoy so the master can close the distance. Once inside, the real attack comes, but San Te counters that by lowering a staff section with his right hand. If he had a regular staff, he wouldn't have been able to make that counter block. Whatever option he chose from there would either caused him to lose the staff or make himself vulnerable.

After learning shaolin pole techniques, the situation at 0:35 is not possible. The staff, goes out and comes back like a jab, a spear. The main actor, extended his arm, and left the pole on the guy's shoulder. That's movie gimmick (or magic)

Plot Twist: then San Te left, took all his knowledge, started the White Lotus clan and changed his name to Pai Mei!

I didn't have my nunchucka on me but I had my three section staff handy. Luckily I defeated him them soundly without incident. Unless someone has a gun basically they cannot beat me. I have fought masters who also used three section staffs and I have defeated them in multi national tournaments.
