Street Combat Crazy Time? YES!!!

Alright, sweet. I figured out how to work this friggin' "blog" thing. This is Josh coming at you to say that we finished what quite possibly might be the coolest fight in the entire movie: Lin-Ku vs. Captain Psychodrive. We had a blast filming and choreographing it. I think you'll like it - it has everything from throws to weapons to just plain beat-downs. During the whole process we made WAY more Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat jokes than any group of human beings should ever make in their lifetimes, and THEY'RE GREEEEEEAT!

Even though it was fun, it took for-friggin'-ever to get everything ready (5 separate nights of 5 hours of work or some crazy stuff like that), and we kept having strange problems with the set. Like the screens to cover the windows in the dojo where we filmed weren't quite tall enough, so we jury-rigged some sheets with duct tape to fix the problem -- it was quite grand =). Also, the "Bob" punching dummies in the background... we never could quite remember where they were supposed to go, so they're probably all mixed up from shot to shot (they have moved on their own in the past, so its no big surprise really).

On an almost unrelated note, I got to play with the coolest flashlight EVER while helping with the filming... It looked exactly like Earthworm Jim's gun and was bright enough to make the sun look like a desk lamp. I had perhaps a little too much fun shining it in people's eyes when they least expected it. Oh, and the colors all throughout the post mean something...figure it out and get a prize. Post your guesses.

    I can't figure anything out, so the only thing that comes to mind video game related would be Mario Kart's Rainbow Road level. I think I am way off though...

    I'd be surprised if it was a reference to Katamari Damacy's Royal Rainbow

    ...ok so its been long enough...the answer to what the colors means is this: I'm just friggin' CrAzY!!! WOOOOOOO. I really liked all of your answers. Even if they they were wrong, but that's OK there will be a next time.

    I think, in actuality, it was a convoluted reference (as seen by his first use of the colors in "blog") to Blogger, owned by multicolor-logoed Google, which we use to run our blog. He's also crazy, though. ;-)
