0 Member SunChien Posted January 31, 2021 Member Share Posted January 31, 2021 How about the scene in 5 Venoms where Lo Meng and Kuo Chui are talking about how they should have joined a different clan? I don't remember any violence in that scene. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost exactly what I'm looking for, but it turns out the waiter tries to swat (hit) away Chiang Sheng (but CS dodges it) because he thinks CS can't pay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of Tiger's Claw, is set in an outisde teahouse/restaurant and no blows are thrown. Seem to recall a few scenes set in a Teahouse from either Dragon Lord or Young Master, that dont feature any fighting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Member Omni Dragon Posted February 1, 2021 Author Member Share Posted February 1, 2021 The 36th Chamber of Shaolin has the scene were Gordon Liu's character asks for water in a roadside teahouse before hiding in the monks cart. There's a similar scene in Killer Clans were characters are on the run and quickly stop for water for an injured man at a roadside teahouse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted February 1, 2021 Member Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm gonna save you all some time here.... there's tons of teahouse scenes with no fighting... probably as many as there is WITH fighting. How about this... how many teahouse scenes where they actually drink tea? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
