I think you certainly correct about the roleplay aspect being more of a niche. I do not see that as a problem however. It becomes very difficult to deal with communities such as large the one World of Warcraft has massed. There are folks with seats at the U.N. with less than the 6.5 millions subscribers Blizzard as managed to attract!

WTS Armor only 100k? Well that's OOC, and OOC is sometimes necessary. pen and paper games are the only real role playing games? well then i'd say it's not true, because it happens that you have to stand up and take a glass of water. what does that mean, that you're ooc and you aint roleplaying? let's be serious. i think you're intending roleplay in a very very WRONG way... read any WoW RP forum and try to undestand ;) I’ve always roleplayed on games like WoW without any of those problems. yeah, many people don’t roleplay, even in RP servers, but many others do. what i mean is that you simply have to find the right people to quest with, and it’s done. the pure roleplay is something very very hard to realize. but i had a lot of fun roleplaying in partyes with friends and killing mobs for quest without having any problem.

Mars summersaulting over Jackie and down the stairs onto the ground, all shown in one wide shot. Then you have Jackie falling down the first floor hanging to a rope. With his back he smashes against a wooden horizonzal pole, turns over it and lands with his back on Mars' back who is on the ground. Then you also have Whang In-sik flip Jackie around and land on his bum. I think movie is the one that started it all with the big stunts trademark. While in previous films ("Young Master", "SitES" or "Drunken Master") you had great fights, "Dragon Lord" focusses a lot on stunts and their coordination. I think that's also the reason why this is the first film in which Jackie used outtakes. (Or because he got back from shooting "Cannonball Run" and got inspired from the filmmakers to put outtakes at the end of the film).
