It is like watching a Bruce Lee film and believing that the skills are held, even though they have never been practiced, let alone tested.

Hahaha that's totally true. I have plenty of anecdotal memories from my youth when our local gang of the block used to attend to the cinema in large groups together to watch the premier of those Kung Fu movies so popular at the time in the 70s.

Once the movie ended, a good bunch of these 'friendly' chaps almost always left the cinema wanting to kick someone's ass around. And more often than not, it was they who ended up with their asses well-kicked. LoL
