My Childhood Heroes

There I was, sitting in a cinema, cupping my hands over my ultra-sensitive ears while the mega speakers of the cinema blabbered on. Of course such a scene would only be seen when I was much younger. Nevertheless, half way through the movie when I see Jackie Chan whizzing through the street cutting down bad guys as he stood, Jet Li exclaiming firmly in Cantonese to some bad guy and then proceeding on to kick the life out of him or James Bond in his always super-spy, womanizing like action of downing tens of evil henchmen and then jumping off some cliff in an impossible feet, accompanied by a complementing soundtrack.  
Obviously from my comments, my childhood heroes are of course: James Bond (Pierce Brosnan then in the Bond movies I watched), Jackie Chan and Jet Li. For some reason, childhood memories of movies are always the most nostalgic but the only bad thing is that, with children, memories come and go with little understanding of such movies. It is only later on during my teenage years that I fully appreciate the movies and their between-the-lines meanings(i.e. The Matrix, Spongebob Squarepants, Lord of The Rings, Star Wars and etc.).
For some reason, Cantonese, my native dialect seems really good to hear with a feeling of incomprehensible joy rising from beneath my tingled heart. That is one of the reasons why I love old Cantonese kung-fu films no matter how terrible qualitied they maybe.
Its also the patriotic films of China being saved(in vain) by a patriot who rises out from the masses amid the onset of corruption and international colition forces of invasion. Although I had never been borned in China, nor had my father been, I am a Chinese and I have originated from a distant homeland I never visited till I was 7. The connection is there and is enough to arise the feelings of belonging and national pride.
As for James Bond films(the older ones from Golden Eye backwards...) also seem to take me on some memory lane back to a time that I had never lived through, especially since I was not even borned then. I remembered that the first James Bond film I watched was Golden Eye when I was three. The reason why I liked the older James Bond films from Godlen Eye backwards was for the fact that they had some kind of Technicolour quality in the silver screen. It is like vintage films when colour was just introduced.
And also the next reason is because I love the cold war parodies that the Bond films made, with like Bond against countless Soviet troops or fighting super villains bent on world domination despite the cloud of an imminent Soviet missile incoming. Its the love of sking down snow, shooting Soviets or evil henchmen off motorskis or skis.
And now that you know I love Technicolour films...you should know that I love almost all action movies of that time. That is one of the little reasons why I grew in love with Star Wars.
Go childhood heroes!
(By the way, Daniel Craig sucks!)
P.S. Just in case you were wondering, I have indeed watched all the James Bond films including the spin-off: Never say, Never Again.

My list of Bonds (the highest numerically listed is my most favourite of course):
1.) Sean Connery
2.)Pierce Brosnan
3.)Timothy Dalton
4.)Roger Moore
5.)George Lazenby
(There will be no Daniel craig in this list)
