The greatest American romance movie of our generation
24 August 2002
There is a very old saying which goes something like: "Dont judge a book by it's cover." I suppose we could say, in the case of 18 Weapons, "Dont judge a movie by it's title."

Despite being titled 18 Weapons of Kung Fu, there is very little weaponry shown. which is pure GENIUS if you ask me. I mean, look at the movie 12 Monkeys. No surprise about the number of monkeys contained. But 18 Weapons goes and steers into the other direction, not into the realm of campy fighting movies, but into art. Thats what it is. Pure art.

And while some men may prefer to watch pornography with "American" girls, I get off on 18 Weapons, and that Asian chick with the armpit hair. I forget her name, but thats not important right now. What is important is the message. Those who complain about the choppy editing aren't understanding the SYMBOLIC meaning of 18 Weapons, which is that no good comes from fighting....Also not to socialize with women you meet while bathing in the river.

I'm done. THE END.
