Dragon Fist

During my visit to Seattle, many interesting topics were brought up during casual conversation with Patronus. One of the most interesting involved her brilliant plan of a movie.

We were having dinner at a local chinese place and the topic drifted to movies. Patronus decided that she wanted to make a movie about Chinese food because it has never been done before. This being a completely original idea, I started to ask about the specifics. Sooo, apparently, this ancient (emphasis on ancient) chinese Taichi master had a secret chinese food recipe that would allow girls to magically become younger. Because of the ramifications of this recipe, this master hid the recipe in an ancient forgotten tomb surrounded by the most deadly traps known to man.

As with all forgotten tombs, it doesn't remain forgotten for long as some bumbling person (who happens to know kung fu and is a master chef) stumbles upon the tomb and despite the deadly traps that have killed hundreds of highly skilled adventurers, manages to secure the recipe.

Of course, the government finds out and a conspiracy to kill him occurs. We stopped discussion at this point about the plot and the topic shifted to a title for this movie. Obviously, because of the very original topic, very little hype would be needed to guarantee a blockbuster; but a catchy title would still be helpful. Little did I know she already had a name planned out: Dragon Fist.

Addendum: Because we happened to be discussing Tom Cruise that day and how awful "The War of Worlds" was, we decided to cast him as the Kung fu Master Chef. We also cast Mr. Miyagi as the Taichi Master.
