Line 121:
* ''[[Whateley Universe]]'': Generator tries teaching herself using her roommate's nunchuks and clocks herself. Even after she uses her powers and 'possesses' the nunchuks, she still gets hit. By possessed nunchuks that are trying to tell her something.
* The battle between [[The Cinema Snob|Kung Tai Ted and Master Kempo Dojo]] feature this heavily due to deliberately bad acting, and both of them manage to inflict a [[Groin Attack]] on themselves with their nunchuks.
* See ''[http://www.thearma.org/essays/nobest.htm There Is No Best Sword]'' article by Hank Reinhardt on the Association for Renaissance Martial Arts site. In short, swords are tools developed each for very specific purpose and limitations, and styles were developed to use them optimally for a given purpose. Consequently, the show business people from Hollywood (and consequently those who didn't see anything better than that) usually have no idea of what the Fu they are trying to do.
{{quote|On another occasion I watched a young guy pick up a large two-hand claymore. He immediately assumed some of the stances made popular by Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan -- stances also based on katas for the katana. After manfully trying to whirl the heavy sword one-handed, he handed it back to the owner, said "Nice balance" and strutted off, obviously convinced the people watching were impressed. Alas, most of them were giggling. It was obvious he couldn't handle the sword; it was simply too big for the way he was trying to use it. }}
