kung fu panda 2!

well, on monday, mother and I went to see kung fu panda2! :D
huge thanks to mother who kept her promise and bought a small popcorn for us to share.  the funny thing, though, was that I normally eat popcorn by taking one kennel per time, whereas mother always grabs one huge fistful and stuffs that into her mouth. Meaning I tried copying her; whenever she took one fistful, I took one fistful. The end result? I had popcorn littered all over my seat. XD
anyways, here are all my favourite quotes, trivia and goofs courtesy of imdb:
Trivia first:
According to the director Jennifer Yuh, Shen proved to be a great challenge to animate, so much that the complexity of the character was like that of doing six characters all at once.
For some strange reason, there’s only one piece of trivia and one piece of goofs!
Revealing mistakes: During the flashback of Po as a baby, he goes into a pot headfirst to retrieve a vegetable. In the next scene, it shows he landed on his bottom, not on his head like he went in.
But perhaps there’ll be more good quotes:
Po: My fist hungers for justice!
[his stomach belches]
Po: That was... my fist.
[from trailer]
Po: Kung-fu staring contest! GO!
[stares at the viewer for 16 seconds]
Po: You guys look amazing, by the way...
Shifu: This could be the end of Kung Fu.
Po: But I just got Kung Fu !
Shifu: And now, you must *save* it
Po: [stares up a long passage] Ah. My old enemy... stairs!
Po: The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now.

Shen: The only reason you are still alive is that I find your stupidity mildly amusing.
Po: Well thank you, but I find your evilness extremely annoying!
Shen: Who do you think you are, Panda?
Po: Who do you think I am, Peacock?
[both laugh for an extended time, each taking turns]
Po: Why are we laughing?
Soothsayer: Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. it is the rest of your story, who you choose to be... So, who are you, Panda?

Shen: How did you find peace? I took away your parents, everything, I scarred you for life...
Po: See that's the thing, Shen, scars heal.
Shen: No they don't... *wounds* heal.
Po: Oh, yeah... what do scars do? They fade, I guess...
Shen: I don't care what scars do...!
Po: You should, Shen. You got to let go of the stuff from past - because it just doesn't matter! The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now. (A/N: perhaps i should try apply this to my own life?)
Shen: How many times do I have to kill the same stinking panda?
Tigress: [to Po] I hope this turns out better than your plan to cook rice in your stomach by eating it raw and then drinking boiling water...

Mr. Ping: My son saved China - you, too, can save! Buy one dumpling, get one free!
Share this quote (A/N: my favourite quote from the movie, here! XD)
Mantis: I didn't have any problems with my dad. Maybe it's 'cause Mom ate his head before I was born...
(A/N: remind me to tell dad to behave himself, lest mum eats his head! XD)
Shen: My parents hated me. Do you understand? They wronged me. And... I will make it right!
Soothsayer: They loved you! They loved you so much that having to send you away killed them!
[Shen stands still in silence for some time]
Shen: The dead exist in the past. And I must tend to the future.
Crane: So this is stealth mode?
Po: I mean, let's face it, not one of my stronger modes.
Mantis: Fear the bug!

Po: But how can kung fu defeat something that destroys kung fu?
Mantis: I never expected to die like this. I thought I'd meet a nice girl, settle down, and then she'd eat my head. (A/N: lol, glad I’m not a mantis! XD)
All in all, this was an awesome movie! There weren’t any notable music themes to mention, sadly, but fair enough, this was a kid’s action movie, you couldn’t really expect super-beautiful music.
Special mention must also go to mother, who didn’t (a) clutch @ me squealing with fear or (b) bawl her eyes out over some sad/emotional/touching scene, but again, this is a kid’s action movie, you won’t find super-scary/super-emotional things here. XD
But, all things considered, this was an awesome movie! My favourite character was by far the tigress, she was just so cool and strong and … she just rocked, okay? :D
Next post here … toms! Book club night! I only finished the book early this arvo. ^^” righteo, cya then!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
