Merlin, Attack! : The Best Minute of Television History
>> ^qruel:
PLEASE tell me that was some disgruntled magnum PI fan who recut that from lost footage. that was just too horrible to actually think that got aired


Nope, that was the real deal. I remember that episode. Of course it makes more sense in context but when you view it straight up like that it truly waxes of insanity. But then again, that was part of the charm that the show never took itself seriously.

Awesome 70s Kung Fu footage
It's not so much that they're breaking the objects is more the fact that the objects are not breaking them in return. These men have conditioned their bodies to the point that thier hands and feet are more like sledgehammers. It's a horrible price to pay, as you lose all the finer motor functions your hand was once capable of, but it is definitely possible to turn your hands and feet into very capable weapons.

This is definitely a demonstration of a "hard" style, emphasizing direct, powerful striking attacks. Kung Fu is more of a fluid "soft" style, though it has so many variations that it's difficult to make any sweeping generalizations and be 100% accurate.

I watched it a couple times and it all looks real enough to me. I've certainly seen more extreme examples of any of the breaks seen here. The important thing to remember with many of the examples is the spacers between the objects. With a kick like the first one, the martial artist only has to break two of those blocks of ice with a basic stomping kick. The force of his kick will easily carry through into the blocks below. It causes a very impressive chain reaction, but in terms of actual effort he may as well had just the first two blocks.
