Good to know... For Japan, "9" is actually a bad luck number because it is pronounced "ku", which leads to "kurushii" (hardship)... but "4" seems to be universal for "death" in the asian languages... I completely forgot about the Forbidden Kingdom movie! Glad I saw this post today, or I probably would have forgotten about it 99... BTW... I always thought that "forever" is "yong yuen"?

I'm utterly infatuated with crouching tiger, hidden dragon, house of flying daggers, hero, and others like these, so I thought this might be too campy. I was pleasantly surprised.
