 * This may be the Man of a Thousand Poisons that Variety was reporting sometime ago, however I've lost the link to that reference. — WiseKwai 04:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * There's a trailer out showing he learned Wushu, Kenjutsu and some other martial arts. I would imagine he's giving his contribution to his favorite martial art actors. - ShinFuYux'' 22:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Maybe a seperate part for the Martial Arts?
In the movie, references are made to many more styles than just the ones displayed on the page. He did Hung Gar, yes, but I also saw some Zuiquan (drunken boxing), Wing Chun and either Tanglangquan (praying Mantis), or snake kung fu. I don't know that much about Kung Fu (enough to recognize the styles I just mentioned), but if there are people out there, I think people would appreciate it what styles were used in this movie. I know I would. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.168.187.61 (talk) 18:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

There was no Hung Gar or Wing Chun in the movie. This is fiction, I know, but those styles hadn't been created at the time the movie is set. Besides, I've never heard anyone involved in the film's production ever mention either Wing Chun or Hung Gar. Similarly, there was no zuiquan either. That scene was an homage to the Drunken Master movies but there's a difference between zuiquan and a guy who simply fights in a drunken state.Morinae (talk) 10:10, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Cher Nung's Sword
My friends and I were curious about this after watching the movie because, despite all being members of a martial arts club, none of us are familiar with any sword with such exaggerated curvature. We're familiar with many Japanese swords due to our (modest) experience with Aiki-ken through our Aikido training and our instructor also has Iaido training.

I've been looking around online and the closest result that I can find, either on Google or Wikipedia, is the Shamshir, although the pictures that I've found so far don't seem to match Cher Nung's sword exactly. Does anyone know if his sword is indeed a modified Shamshir, or if it is something different entirely? --BlackMetalWhiteGuy (talk) 22:27, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Chernang's sword is indeed a shamshir or talwar if you prefer. Such heavily curved blades do exist in India and South Asia. Morinae (talk) 10:19, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
