I always loved the fact that the guy who voices Krillin also voiced Hughes, and somehow managed to take a character who literally annoys everyone around him and make the audience care about him.

The original run of Dragonball in 1989/1991 really doesn't count, I don't think. Anime sparked in the west right around the same time Sailor Moon and DBZ came onto the scene, and stuff like Lodoss and Slayers came out right after that. But Toonami was when anime became mainstream.
They've been a focus. But they weren't the only focus. The only anime that ever gets talked about nowadays is the shitty moe/high school nonsense.
As someone who sort of grew up during the initial anime fad in the West, I was kind of lucky. I was exposed to things like Lupin III, Record of Lodoss War, Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop as a kid. And I used to like anime. I watched a ton of it.
No amount of unsprung weight is going to offset the fact that a carbon wheel cost 10x-20x more than a cast aluminum wheel. Especially when you get into forged stuff, the weight savings is fairly minor at each corner.

So many great scenes from Fist of legend, one of my favorites is the fight with his woman's Uncle...
I love Kung Fu Hustle SO HARD. I think it might be because of the music. It's a serious gang war beatdown, but the music makes it so much f'n FUN.
I love that movie. Nostalgia-wise this scene can't be beat!!
That was the first movie I thought of when I saw this article title, and was disappointed when I didn't see it in here. That fight at the end (wasn't it a knife fight?) was one of the most brutal I've ever seen.
Sweet was not expecting to see Manchurian Candidate on the list.
Fist of Legend, the film why the Wachowski siblings chose their choreographer for the Matrix trilogy, is my personal fave.
This isn't only one of the greatest movie marital arts fights, it is the greatest martial arts fight with bamboo poles. Bar none. Here, Jet Li and Donnie Yen are at the top of their game.
I'm not sure there's anything cooler than The Man from Nowhere's fight scene at the end but it's not exactly kung-fu. More gun-fu with hints of kung-fu.
"HAHAHAHA We're no longer the worst!"
Does sitting in the cockpit as a kid count?
