im putting together a Kungfu/HK/Foriegn movie glossary. Will be defining terms like "Shapes" or the reason for using "Bastard" alot, "Basher".

Any additional terms would be great. If anyone can post any you can think of it would make my glossary even better, thank you ahead of time.

"But still": Standard phrase used by dubbing 'artists' to pad out lines of dialogue.

Alcohol: (1). The secret to kung fu supremacy, as seen in DRUNKEN MASTER, COME DRINK WITH ME, WRITING KUNG FU, DRUNKEN TAI CHI, etc. (2). The only reason to watch a Richard Harrison film.

Bootmaster: Performer with particularly impressive kicking techniques. Often Korean. e.g. Hwang Jang Lee, Casanova Wong, Tan Tao Liang, John Liu, etc.

Kick the School: A martial artist challenges the representative (often the teacher) of a rival kung fu school in order to establish their superiority. If successful, the challenger will often add insult to injury by destroying the school's sign.

Ric Meyers: The devil.
