In case it's not obvious Meade is wrong in a Ray-like fashion.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

A great many intelligent people have no real interest in Asian action/fighting films; I think it is beyond arrogant to insinuate we are all fucking idiots because we don't know this movie.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

No it's just at that point it should be abundantly clear what the title is.

Re: Name That Movie!
I knew that if it's a Chinese martial arts film (and it is) I would never have the slightest chance of getting it because I've never seen any of those, so I googled it...and I suspect that's what Meade did too. (He's been giving some good clues, and one of them even had the correct star.)
After I found it I read the synopsis on IMDB and it actually seems like it might be a film that rises above its genre, with a Rashomon-type plot structure and some historical significance—and apparently the quote that CP gave is from near the end and provides a significant summary of the film's, umm...leitmotif?)

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Is there anyone that hasn't yet looked it up or is completely lacking in a sense of humor?

Re: Name That Movie!
The title is hard to find.
Re: Name That Movie!
The film is beautifully shot as well.

I've never seen it, but I get it from the clues.

That was actually a funny show, I was disappointed it was cancelled.
