I haven't seen much of the series. I've seen clips of Toph using it. And I saw the episode where she's introduced, she uses it as well. It looks kick-ass in the cartoon. Hopefully they use it in the movie.

biggest nod to HK kung cinema is when Aang and Zuko go into the mountains to search for the two Masters.

they turn out to be dragons, thought to have been hunted down to extinction.

the names of the two dragons:

Run

and

Shaw

referencing the Shaw Brothers studios ( all four named Run: Run De, Run Run, RunMe, RunJe)

of course Shaw Brothers studios brought us pretty much ALL the kung fu fighting films produced in the 70s

Ren and Shaw.

The movie will be called "The Last Airbender" rather than "Avatar: The Last Airbender" to avoid confusion with James Cameron's upcoming film entitled "Avatar".

**Lucas** · 08-26-2009, 11:04 AM

im not too sure. i dont have a grasp of the cartoon yet.

**Lucas** · 09-02-2009, 09:46 AM

**Lucas** · 09-04-2009, 11:05 AM

My boys feel that you would be hard-pressed to find another series as cool as Avatar

My team has pitched a few new ideas to Nick and Disney but at the height of the recession no one was willing to green light any new projects. I hear things are getting better. Are they?
