I saw this on Rage (music video program) late night. I thought it was pretty weird at first, but it was unique so I took a liking to it. By the end I was thinking, "how awesome is this?" =p

This is major. Way beyond my imagination. I realized it the very moment the post-punk guitar kicked in.

PRINCESS IRON FAN:
The palm-leaf fan is very powerful
How can you be back so soon?
You impossible monkey!
I will impel you away again with my fan, churning the universe over and over
MONKEY:
I'm helping Tripitaka get the Holy Scriptures from the west
Let me borrow your fan
I'll give it back when I'm done
Don't be so stingy!

is the translation, it would be nice of the creators 2 sub it -.-
