I’m on a roll.
Shakespeare’s little known oriental action thriller ‘Enter the Dragon’:
Thine wicked teeth are rent from thy face
And patter upon cold stone without grace
Thine kicks to my loin did hardly I feel
For mine belly is muscled as steel
Thine challenge of combat has brought
Thy shame and defeat, all for nought
For I am Bruce, oh mighty my wrath
To those who besmirch my kin hath
Fair maidens flock to my side
Flush’d with glee at my pride
Thy women are not so luckee
For thine maidens now admire me
Your gracious good fortune tis be
To be vanquished by hale Squire Lee
My madness ’o battle is thus
Divined by God to the just
And pray all scoundrels hear thus!
And patter upon cold stone without grace
Thine kicks to my loin did hardly I feel
For mine belly is muscled as steel
Thine challenge of combat has brought
Thy shame and defeat, all for nought
For I am Bruce, oh mighty my wrath
To those who besmirch my kin hath
Fair maidens flock to my side
Flush’d with glee at my pride
Thy women are not so luckee
For thine maidens now admire me
Your gracious good fortune tis be
To be vanquished by hale Squire Lee
My madness ’o battle is thus
Divined by God to the just
And pray all scoundrels hear thus!
The modern version:
Bruce gets in a fight
You kick like a girl
Villain regrets insulting Bruce’s mother
The hero gets the girl
Scary kung fu moves fades into credits
You kick like a girl
Villain regrets insulting Bruce’s mother
The hero gets the girl
Scary kung fu moves fades into credits
