Chopstick Kung Fu

When I first saw the chopstick fighting scene in Kung Fu Panda, I had to laugh. Laugh not only because it was funny, but also because it was familiar. Right away, I thought about the film back in 1983 by Jackie Chan. It was called The Fearless Hyena, and ironically Jackie Chan is part of the cast in Kung Fu Panda.
It's funny because after 26 years, seeing something like that the world thinks that it's something recently invented.

It wasn't easy, but I've managed to find some videos of the chopstick scenes. However, I couldn't find an English version of Kung Fu Panda.









This is where it all started (as far as I know).
