Touch the pulse (like the jugular)?!  You're right, though; it takes a great
deal of restraint for me to sit through a martial arts film (or most other
HK productions -- you'd think everyone in the Song Dynasty had the ability
to fly) without shrieking maniacally into the horizon, even those of Jet Li
who is supposedly the sine qua non of the genre.
