First there was the cowboy period, then cops, then spies. Always there were Kung-Fu movies where good, pure-hearted men saved beautiful damsels in distress by kicking the crap out of anything that moved.  \u003cp\u003eHe always wanted to live like Gauguin. Not that he could paint anything other than a paint-by-numbers horse and jockey-it's just that he always wanted to live amongst joyous, half-dressed native women who would look up to him as a god-like fire master.
