This was next up on El Rey's Kung Fu morning church service after The Magnificent Ruffians (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=4869). It was a fun watch - I'll watch Ti Lung in just about anything. It struck me that both this film and TMR had the same underlying theme of a rich dude bribing a Kung Fu fighter with luxury - food, money, fine lodging, wine, women (well, a woman only in this one). Both are reiterations of one of my favorite passages of the Bible, Proverbs 23
I've always loved the notion of 'deceitful meat'. That would make a good band name, actually.
Like I said - Sunday morning church.
I RIDE WITH EL REY
Quote:When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat. Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
