I've been wondering why there are so many Asian film martial artists imbued with the power of flight? Or at least limited short duration flight? Why can some fly and others cannot?
My father who served in Korea in the 60's also said that the power of flight was very prevalent with Korean hero's as well. Where does this power come from mythologically speaking? Is it related to spirits either the liquid kind or supernatural? Asian angels or Kirin or perhaps from Dragons?
