* ''[[Kung Fu Jungle]]'' ends similarly to ''Bodyguards and Assassins'' above, both of which star Donnie Yen. The [[Big Bad]], who has been killing martial artists across the length of the film, has defeated the hero and is about to finish him off when Inspector Luk catches up and aims her gun at him. He starts advancing on her, bobbing and weaving, hands moving like they can parry bullets, and when her first few shots miss, it seems that martial arts will beat guns. Then three later shots connect, killing him, showing that no, they don't. |
