I read something similar that the airline associations with credit card companies make the airlines as much or more money than ticket sales.

Hong Kong “kungfu cop” movie, probably from the 1980s.

Fighting sequences are very well done. The whole movie is quite fun to watch. Feels like the missing link between Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Sammo Hung delivered the sort of fungting style later popularized by Jackie Chan (minus the “comedy” from Kackie Chan’s ”action-comedy“), but at the time Sammo Hung still immitated Bruce Lee‘s high-pithced vocalizations. -

Hong Kong/Communist China’s “RoboCop” movie. Overall a pretty silly movie.

The dialogue is actually in English, despite the cover graphics.
It's a video on job performance review.

Lirone, a bowed string instrument that’s great at playing chords (but not much else):

Hated it.
Sloppy playing. Every competitor in a major piano competition has more piano skills.
The arrangement was not very innovative. No really new ideas. He barely changed anything except adding drums and chords.
If you want to make an arrangement of a famous classical piece, you really have to reinvent it, in my opinion.
Here's an example of an arrangement that succeeds in my opinion.
