Description: The tale of Tiger & Dragon revolves around the traditional Japanese theaterical comedy art-form known as rakugo, which has an impressive 400 year history. Well known pop-idol Tomoya Nagase portrays the surly & scary yakuza gangster Toraji, who, in the process of collecting debts from a rakugo master, is inspired to become a rakugo comedian himself. Junichi Okada plays Ryuji a gifted rakugo player who left the old fashioned ways of rakugo for good. As these two extremely juxtaposed characters cross paths through a girl named Megumi, played by the lovely Miskai Ito, the real mishaps & misadventures start thru the scenary of modern day Tokyo to its feudal past amidst a cacophony of colorful characters which make up this wonderful jdrama/comedy series.

One review cited:
This drama continues off from where the special that aired early this year, 2005, ended. It's about a yakuza member, Toraji (Nagase Tomoya) who has to collect payments from a man whose son used the money to open an eclectic clothing store. However, Toraji discovers rakugo (traditional Japanese comical monologues) through the man who later teaches him the art. The situations between the characters were hilarious and the comedy was very refreshing. I really enjoyed how the director was able to create a seamless transitioning between the rakugo story-telling - the re-enactment of thestory itself - and then the current drama happenings. It was very innovative and impressive to say the least. Each episode focuses on a different rakugo story and it was surprising that because of this factor, the series still didn't seem episodic, but still proceeded at a nice pace.
The main characters, Toraji played by Nagase Tomoya and Ryu played by Okada Junichi are both memorable and funny. They each had a specific character type and firmly stuck to it throughout the drama. The other actors also did a wonderful job. The dialogue in this drama was refreshing and witty. Overall, a great jdrama!

 | Ziyi Zhang vs. Michelle Yeoh best fight scene ever
Tags: best, crouching, dragon, ever, fight, great, michelle, ping, tiger, woo, woo-ping, yeo, yuen, zhang, ziyi
Description: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon the second fight between these two. Very technical fight. This is the best realistic fight I've ever seen (last fight in Fist of Legend is kinda close). Yuen Woo ping is a genious.
edit: in response to some of you, yes, this fight i think is realistic in terms of them not doing anything that impossible (except for the little flying pushback at one part) and them using real wushu style attacking/defense. if you say it isn't realistic cause it lasts too long, who's to say that two people can't be so skilled that a sword battle would last a long time before someone connects a hit?

Description: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Eden," as I like to call it, was a more ambitious Windows Movie Maker project...and I'm really not entirely sure how I feel about how I ended it.
I didn't realize how long the song was (or, rather, how short) until I'd already put in a bunch of hours. So, yeah, I think I lost it in the cave and struggled from there out to finish the video, but I love it up until after Jen and Yu Shu Lien's fight.
I don't own "Eden" (by the Hooverphonics) or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (by Ang Lee), just the cutlist and time/work put in. Wasn't Michelle Yeoh fantastic in the film?
