: Did anyone else laugh at the trailer? I though it was Kev ripping off 'Crouching Tiger' in the first seconds, as did the majority of the audience. Then we realized...oh it's a trailer for an ACTUAL movie.
: The whole Iron Monkey thing seems derivative storyline-wise of 'Tiger'. Just my $.02
IRON MONKEY was made way before CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. Early '90s. I'm not sure what year. Also, the fight choreographer of CROUCHING TIGER, Yeun Woo Ping, directed IRON MONKEY.
