what is wrong with the ending?
People seem to complain about the ending, and I'm not sure why. It seemed to me like a perfectly reasonable and perhaps even necessary way to end the film. It's foreshadowed like 40 minutes earlier when his wife explains the proper samurai etiquette to him.
So in the ending, the Chinese martial artist proves his superiority (makes sense plotwise) but learns to also respect the various Japanese martial arts (a mature addition to an otherwise extremely... nationalistic film).
Is his respect of the enemy what bothers people? Is it the breathing technique thing? What are people's specific complaints?
Oh yes it's Laaarry Holmes/and the feeelin's right/Oh yes it's Laaarry Holmes/what a fight
