Still not finished Tokyo Rock Trooper. Reason is that I cant hear the music while I edit so getting the hand movements to go with the music is taking ages...
But it will be done - just doing it a bit at a time. This is the reason why I will have some sort of speaker so that I can actually hear the music while editing.

Next video will be "Tokyo Kung Fu Trooper."
All these versions sound good - need your help in choosing one.

I like this version but dont know who does the track. The video lists Earth Wind and Fire but I'm not sure if that's accurate.


Kung Fu Panda version below. Who sings this? I think I saw the lead singer in Vader armor once.

Dutch version below by DJ Nicky Ft. Derenzo

Is Kung Fu Panda out in your region?

    Kung Fu Panda has been out for a month or so here. Thanks to some dodgy workmates, I've seen it on DVD already :P. It was better than I expected. Love the opening 2D sequence and really nice 3D CG animation overall. In fact, I've watched it a second time with my gf.

    Not sure which to advice you on with your kung fu trooper version though. After Rickrolling, I can't tell you to turn down the cheese factor any more...

      Yeah, the second clip is Gnarls Barkley. I remember seeing that live Vadar version of "crazy" on mtv and thinkin it was so cool, but that song been played to death.

      Real question is tho, does Danny know any martial arts? High kicks in armor maybe difficult to pull off if Danny isn't use to it. Stunt double? ^^;

    The first one is by Bus Stop, NOT Fatboy Slim. I don't know why his name is attached to the files everyone is posting. I've had that song on my iPod for ages (like 5 five years), and a quick check on Wikipedia confirms this.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_fu_fighting

    That said, it would be awesome if you danced to the Bus Stop version, Danny.

      Everyone probably says its Fat Boy Slim cause it sounds a lot like the crappy mixes he makes.

      Sorry if I came off as rude. I just couldn't believe that I saw two references (even one unintentional) to the sound being by Fatboy Slim. Nothing against the man, but credit was due to the real artist.

      Looking forward to the video Danny =)

    I got to meet John Hang. I think that his name. He was the voice actor of the father of the Panda. Let me say this even though that guy is almost 80 he still can dance! I meed him during the 70 aniversity of the New City Town opening, and there was an open dance floor. * I did not dance with him*
