Not sure how to make a timecode work with the video link parsing the forum does, but skip to 38 minutes in this documentary to see a 'real life' application of magical testicle kung-fu. Probably NWS for the shot of a man dragging around a heavy gardening implement via a chain attached to his scrotum.
"Iron egg skill" :laugh:

Too good.
Well, they are monks. What else can they do with their groins?

The Street Fighter is the most well-known by far. However, there's also the Masutatsu Oyama trilogy (Karate Bullfighter, Karate Bearfighter, Karate for Life), and the Sanshiro Sugata movies by Kurosawa, off the top of my head.
Also "Mas Oyama - Fighter in the wind"

Does anyone have any recommendations for martial arts films that kind of blend in the supernatural? Supernatural ranging from wirework to laser swords. Anything with fancy camera tricks and interesting practical effects would be a great bonus. I've seen a few already, so if it's something you'd like to check out I would really recommend:
A Chinese Ghost Story

(Trailer isnt that great, the movie is though)
