Crouching Tiger Hidden Chicken
This film is very long and features people running around a lot and being enigmatic. It went on and on and on and on and on and on. So on and on that Gfb fell asleep halfway through only to be shoved in the ribs by Madame Fightback to quell the old adenoids.
The film? It is about a hunchback Tiger looking for his best mate, a chicken that has gone missing during a game of hide and seek. He looks everywhere; up on roofs, walls, behind doors and in wardrobes. Sadly he can’t find her so has a big swordfight with a few fellas instead. Then he jumps off a cliff.
The chicken turns up shouts, “Surprise! You couldn’t find me! I win!” only to discover her mate is dead. She jumps off the cliff. Being a chicken she cannot fly and pops her clogs too.
We were going to do Enter The Chicken but this is a family orientated site.
Here’s what the critics had to say,
“You’ll believe a chicken can do a kung fu chop!” The Delaware Doubter.
“Jet Lay is set for a brilliant career. A real feather in his cap this one!” The New York Times
“The most realistic depiction of chickens in a Martial Arts film I have ever seen!” The Houston Chronicle.
Sadly, the remake of the film provisionally entitled Kung Fu Chicken or KFC for short was never made.
Sadly, I would pay money to see this.
And I would be AMAZED!!!
Who wouldn’t? A shoe in for the Oscars I’d be bound.
Great flick but the evil war lord Kung Pao scared me a little,
Even after Jet Lay joined forces with General Tso? After that, I knew the feathers would fly…
Puns and Martial Arts – what a combo!
A proper hard nut

If only the Tiger had crossed the road…
Wise words
We own that movie and I just remarked to my husband that we have never seen it. Now I will be sure to watch for the part about the chicken!
Enjoy Susie!
And, thank you for giving me my blog post for tomorrow. Another chicken post. Oh me. 🙂
So funny. I enjoyed the original movie, leading me to believe the chicken version would be equally entertaining.
Chickens are the new black Andra!
Great action scenes in it, the chicken took a right basting.
Brilliant!
So funny! There should be more movies about chickens, although NOT by Disney.
I didn’t see the other crouching tiger movie …. so why should I start now? Well, if a ginger chicken … absolutely!
“Nobody calls me chicken” (cue massive samurai sword and absurdly long silk ribbon fight scene).
The thought has crossed my mind that it was an act of supreme athleticism for the chicken to grasp the blade in the first place. So what about a cute dog in a silent movie – that chicken had REAL talon(t).
OK. I LOVE this idea. It looks like an award-winning idea with the iMac looking htheucs and a fucking great name. Wonderful.Except aren’t chickens kinda social creatures? Aren’t they gonna feel sad? Think about every time you have ever seen a (live) chicken there were other chickens with it. For a reason.Now. If it was made with a cage end at say 60 degrees so you fit six cages together in a hub/spoke like arrangement, I’d buy one er six
I’m so jealous. You really know a lot of famous chickens.
There’s a lot of them about!
Jan Petters August 2, 2011 Another idea is take the thin chicken ttelucs cooked as you have directed. Just before baking is finished, add some mozzarella cheese to melt and then top with spaghetti sauce and a side of pasta and you have easy, yummy chicken parmagiana. (sorry if I have misspelled anything)
