Is 'marshall arts' a new sport that's in competition with 'martial arts' ??! Perhaps something to do with the amps and stacks used by most rock bands ?
I think maybe you should have used a spell checker on this show. ;) Segal should be Seagal Clawed should be Claude Damm should be Damme Jet Lee should be Jet Li Miagi should be Miyagi hehe
The female lead in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is Michelle Yeoh, and she was born in Malaysia so she's not Chinese.
I think Jennifer Garner should have been in this list as well.
Yeah great show, Bruce should have been number 1 and Myagi however you spell it swapped with bruce. But certainly a goof podcast and with a suprising number one.
The other bird from Crouching Tiger is Ziyi Zhang (or is it Zhang Ziyi?). She is indeed very hot.
And NEO?! How can you put Neo in the list? He's not a real martial artist. Of all the rubbishy rubbish. You might was well put Darth Maul in there.
Let's not beat up on them for the spelling. Maybe it's one of those UK spelling things. Like how they spell stuff with "re" instead of "er", or how they spell "elevator" as "lift"? ;)
To be fair the majority of the misspelt words are non-English. Claude and Damme are French, Li is Chinese and Miyagi is Japanese.
My guess is, it was Jon that did the show notes, Rob is too much of perfectionist to let all those through, and as we all know Jon has a 'memory disease'. ;)
BTW the UK spelling is the correct way, America just chose to misspell our language. hehe :P

And wasn't it Chris Tucker who was in Rush Hour with Jackie Chan, rather than Chris Rock?
Jon, were you trained at the Guardian (or is it the Grauniad?)...? ;-) It was great to hear Monkey again on the show - I loved that show as a kid of about 16 and that for me was China... Plus ça change etc...
Anyone seen Kung Fu Hustle? The screaming lady in curlers would win hands down.

[leaning forward with elbows on table, squinting through glasses, pushing back a huge mop of frizzy hair...]
SHE: What's all this fuss I'm hearing about marital arts? What two people do in thieir own time...
HE: Emily, that's "martial" arts; not "marital."
SHE: Oh.... All right..... Never mind.

Another strange but entertaining show. Nice one. I wonder who wrote the show notes :P.

Just for the record, I am a trained journalist and as such I have a keen eye for spelling.
The other thing you may like to know is that I have size 13 feet.
If you didn't want to know that then I wore a green hat today, which was nice.
The best thing in my office this week is Sky Broadband. The second best thing in my office is the Zero 7 album I have playing on repeat constantly.
If you are now on Friday then have a great weekend. If you are still on Thursday, take it easy on friday - have a laugh and enjoy the weekend too.
With Love,
Jonathan
