One of my favorite martial arts fight scenes ever is the stick and ladder sequence from Jackie Chan's First Strike (also known as Jing Cha Gu Shi IV, for those of you who prefer the undubbed version). I'm sure there are more authentic fight scenes out there, but when it comes to sheer slapstick mayhem at ridiculously fast speeds, I've yet to find a better scene than this.
(I just saw it on TV... that's why.)

Wow, you do need a job. Maybe more than I do ;) I guess it is way past work time where you are. Enjoy the Chan-tastic fight scenes.

Well, I did see it well after normal working hours today... but I also caught part of the movie during the day, too. I just didn't catch it until after that particularly excellent scene so I had to watch again this evening.
And yes, I clearly need a job.
