18 Mighty Mountain Warriors presents Bruce Lee: The Musical!

A stop-motion action figure extravaganza based on every Bruce Lee movie



Bruce fans might get a kick out of this. The funny folks behind 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors present their latest silly stop-motion video... Bruce Lee: The Musical! Not to be confused with the recent off-broadway joint by David Henry Hwang. (Though I highly doubt anyone is going to be confused.) A Bruce-tastic animated action figure extravaganza based on every Bruce Lee movie. Wait, what? Watch:

In Dueling Sulus, the latest super-crazy stop-motion video from 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors, George Takei and John Cho -- in action figure form -- battle it out to settle once and for all who was the greatest Sulu (I did not know that this was a dispute that needed to be settled). It turns into a rather sad rap battle:

Whole lotta sketch comedy goin' on

Lots of sketch comedy happening in L.A. this week... 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors ("the world's most psychotic Asian American comedy troupe") presents the world premiere of "Just Like White People," an all new sketch comedy show that is "SAVAGELY FUNNY yet STRANGELY CIVILIZED."
