RW581 - Bonus - The One

 

In this January 1st episode of The Rewatch Podcast, Cory and Eoghan are the last of their multiversal kind as they discuss The One.

Our Favourite Trivia:

The One grossed $79.6 million worldwide on a budget of $49 million.

Originally the film was to have starred Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, before Jet Li assumed the lead role.

Jet Li uses two distinct kung fu styles when portraying Gabe and Yulaw. The evil Yulaw uses Xingyi Quan, or "Mind-Form Fist" (loosely translated). As can be seen when he is training, it is a very linear, offensive style. Gabe on the other hand practices Bagua Zhang, or the "Eight Trigrams Palm". It is characterized by open palm fighting, with circular footwork. Both styles are two of the three main "internal" styles of Chinese kung fu - the third being Taiji Quan (Tai Chi).
