Cosmic Motion by William Boodell and Colin Dixon
Episode notes
Every ten years, a representative swordsman from China and from Japan must duel to the death as a matter of tradition between the two countries. The Chinese Bo Ching-wan (Damian Lau) and Japanese Miyamoto Ichiro (Norman Chu) are selected as their nations’ best to compete in a fair manner. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, forces from both countries have other ideas. Also, Sheng Nan (Flora Chong-Leen), daughter of Master Han (Paul Chang Chung), wants to compete, but she’s a girl. Both Ching Wan and Miyamoto want to have a fair competition, but will they get their wish?
Join Bill, Colin and Cinematographer/Director/Editor Gary Landry Jr. as they leap into a tense stand-off crafted by Chinese master action director Siu-Tung Ching (aka Tony Ching) in his directorial debut.
