Sure, a nine-year-old smoking to a Disney cartoon.

I just saw "Return of the Tiger" starring Bruce Lee and "Rage of the Master" starring Jimmy Wang Yu. Both are decent 70s kung fu films that contain really cool action. The former movie sees Lee attempting to stop a gang of mobsters from carrying out an illegal drug deal with some dirty crime lords. The latter movie is a rather moving story about a young fighter who must avenge the deaths of his friends and family who were killed mercilessly by an army of ruthless criminals.
I enjoyed "Rage of the Master" better, although both films had their good points. My only problem with the films is that so much footage appears to have been edited out! It's like you're watching one scene and then you see a milli-second of two other scenes before cutting to another place in the film. It's the perfect chance for you to miss the introduction of new good guys or bad guys, making the story even more confusing. It's bad enough that some of these films end abruptly, like after the hero kills the main bad guy when there's still plot to be resolved. The DVD packaging is terrible as well; the synopsis of one of the movies is obviously wrong.
Oh well, at least the movies were cool to watch.

Just saw Batman Begins last night!!
It's was FREAKIN' GREAT!!!!
GG he's a story for ya.....
so in '89 (was it 89 or '91??) anyways... my dad took us all to see the original Batman with Michael Keeton and it was HUGE!! I remember leaving the theater with the feeling of (once again) wanting to be a super hero... but in this case, Batman had no special powers, he's just a normal man. (well rich but you know what I mean)
15 Years later, after having suffered Batmans' 2-5(?) (too many bad ones to count) my dad and I went to see Batman Begins... I have to say I left with the same childhood feeling that I had all those years ago.
I want to be a vigilanty... 
(a little off topic of the thread...)
Isn't it funny how we can hope that a film will ROCK (like starwars for me) but we're always super dissapointed, but a movie that I had no expectation for was more entertaining and left me with a warm fuzzy feeling inside??
(don't expect anything and you'll never be dissapoited...)
