The best scene is the end of the fight between Braddock and Colonel Yin near the end of the film. Afer hitting Yin with a powerful blow low in his stomach, Braddock graps Yin's balls and yanks them. You get the impression that Braddock yanked one or both of them off. Then Braddock says to Yin "you lose."
You then see Yin sitting on the step muttering to himself under his breath and his head shaking, as if he knew he had just lost his manhood.
Great. Force of one, my man. Stick em.

Yeah but the best part of the scene is when Braddock presses the button and the hut explodes.

Yes indeed, such a great scene, but he didn't do anything to Yin's testicles. He stuck his fingers up under Yin's ribcage on his left side, effectively giving his liver a good shock. Yin also did not mutter and shake his head, he simply sat there and stared into space and winced from the intense pain on his let side from the move Braddock just did. Then it cuts to Braddock with the detonator.

It's been several years since I saw the movie. I could have sworn that Yin was muttering to himself, after what I thought was Braddock's ripping off or rpiing apart Lin's balls. You sound like you know what you are talking about, so I'm inclined to defer to you. But how sure of you that the way you described is the way it occurred, and not the way I thought it occurred?
sharewell after I read your post, I thought about it for a minute because I didn't think it happened just that way, so I watched the end scenes on utube.

What did YouTube show you?
shareIt showed the end scene, and it is more accurate as to how I described it.

Now I am curious, and when I get a chance, I will watch it and let you know how I see it. I wonder if we are talking about the same scene.
shareI watched it again just now. I see it as I originally described it. It looks like Braddock grabs hold of Yin's balls and twists them or tears them. And I do see Yin muttering to himself afterwards. I could be wrong, but that is how I see it.
shareThere must be different edits of the ending scenes then, because in the version I find on youtube, there is not testicle grabbing and there is no muttering...

Right before the testicle grabbing (or what I interpret as that), Braddock hits Yin hard in the lower stomach. Is that in the YouTube version that you have watched?
shareOk, here goes...Toward the end of the beating (not really a fight), Braddock says "The game's over" then he beats Yin up with some fancy foot work. Yin then stands up slowly and Braddock gives him a series of rights and lefts to the face. Braddock then says, "And this is for Franklin", then he does the fingers up under the ribcage maneuver. Is this where you think he is grabbing his testicles?...If so it is clearly not...Yins pants are blue and he is wearing a khaki shirt. You clearly see Braddock's hand go into his abdomen, and you see the khaki shirt and even the left pocket right above Braddock's hand. Braddock then relinquishes his grip and says "You Lose.". He then walks away from Yin. Then Yin is shown on his knees staring into space, wincing from the pain in his abdomen. Then Braddock blows him up...

I'll try one more time when I get a chance to loom at it. In your vision of the scene, do you see Braddock hitting Lin with his fist hard in the lower stomach? Because right after that is when I see Braddock doing what look to me like a twisting motion where the target is Lin's testicles. Then after that I see and hear Lin muttering- very briefly. And by the way, there is another version of that last part that I recall from the original film- not the YouTube version. That is where Lin is sitting outside the cabin muttering to himself or maybe it would be better descrined as twitching. Then after that, after both versions of the "muttering/twitching", Braddock blows the place up, saying "this is for (or from) me."
Right after I see what I describne as the twisting of Lin's testicles, I also hear Braddock saying "You lose."
I don't see any movemebnt by Braddock that I would describe as a fingers action. The first action, again, is hitting Lin low in the stomacj. The second action is what I describn as a twisting with his hand.
I didn't want to confuse things by intrudcing what I think are alternate versions of Lin's muttering and twitching, but in fact there may be several versions of certain scenes.
Bottom line he does not hit him in or twist his testicles...as I stated, Yin's shirt is khaki colored and you even see his left pocket in the shot when Braddock's hand is reaching up under his ribcage. Unless Yin has some sort of anatomic anomaly, his testicles are not up that high. This part is very clear.

As I said, I will have to look at it again- perhaps rent the original movie- although there may be alternate versions. I remember my feelings at the time of watching that scene. That Braddock twisted Lin's testicles off- or partially off- seemed like a fitting action to someone who had been so evil and committed so many murders, including of those whom Braddock had befriended. That is one reason I liked the scene. Although horrific, it seemed a proper act of revenge to a man who committed numerous horrors himself.
shareYou are right, he doesn't do anything to Yin's balls but one thing I have always wondered about with that scene is what he did exactly to Yin there, I know it was something with his rib cage but I never could figure out exactly what it is he did to him
shareI watched the movie last night and you're correct -- Chuck jabs his fingers into Yin's abdomen and grabs his ribcage, doing internal injuries.
It'd be cool if he crushed his testicles, too, but that's not what happened.
