my life could end happily right now if only there were a violent kung fu film starring puppets.

Oh yes, I came across that one too. It's something of a classic all on its lonesome. But really, the Japanese soundtrack is pure ear candy, and the BGM ain't bad either. Even the female lead is cool. 'If you break your vow my tears will slay you' she tells someone at one point: and wadda ya know, turns out that isn't a metsphor. Gotta love it
