I now MAKE my PC's shout out 'Prodigious Leap!' or whatever the name as they activate a fu power, and strike a pose when appropriate. I've lost track of the number of old shaw brothers or golden harvest chop-socky films i've watched where two combatants are almost trading names as they slug it out... "Fist of steel!" "Tiger claw!" "Double-monkey paw!" "Flying crotch razor!" "Excellent flowering dragon hand style!" You get the idea. By the way, for wire-fu madness my personal recommendations would be Saviour of the soul (tho it's not great, it does have great ideas and fights)and moon warriors (directed by Sammo Hung).
