I find that information about the street signs being translated as being really exciting but maybe that's just me.

In my humble opinion, <em>Water Margin</em> is the king of all David Chiang smirking films. Also see the sequel, <em>All Men are Brothers</em>. Matt: Most of <em>The Duel</em> takes place in cold weather, so there are several people sporting stylish fur coats, including Elvis! I'm guessing, though, that you mean the "Dice Devil", who sports a fur hat, tats all over his torso and arms, and, naturally, a fur coat. <em>The Duel</em> played pretty fast and loose with fashion statements, but I would read the Dice Devil as being Chinese, probably from the fringes of the empire. A damn fine film. I should give it a review someday. smoonn: I forgot to add “David Chiang smirking” films under “If You Like This”.

Next time I watch <i>The Duel</i>, I'll have to see if this sheds any light on the cossack-lookin' dude in that movie. Except I think he's supposed to be a Chinese dude? Dressed as a cossack.
