I know kung fu

A kung fu flick called Lao Shu La Gui (Kung Fu vs. Yoga) pits an Indian contortionist, Dupar Singh, against two martial artists. They win the ‘fight’ by dumping gallons of glue over the yogi, plugging up his moves like a rusty Tin Woodman. It’s all set to a sitar soundtrack and dubbed in French:

So cheesy. So awesome.

In Master of the Flying Guillotine, a Chinese actor in brownface has extensible arms like the Thuggee caricature Dhalsim from Mortal Kombat:

… the Ching Emperor has trained numerous assassins in the use of the Flying Guillotine to kill off Ming rebels. This deadly and impractical weapon looks much like a Ching-era hat with a saw blade brim and a long chain attached. The user throws the weapon with practiced precision onto his victim’s head. A chain netting with blades at the bottom drops down and one quick pull severs the head. [Link]
