...battling a long-imprisoned supervillain. KFP shifts into high gear when its big baddie, Tai Lung, escapes from his prison dungeon, breaking chains, bones and the law of gravity with equal finesse. Many of the fights - Tai Lung vs. the Five Furies, or vs. Shifu or, finally, against a certain panda - are so smartly thought out and spectacularly executed that they might have been designed by an ace stunt coordinator like Yuen Wo-ping. One scene, which has Po and Shifu dueling with chopsticks, stilts and tree branches to grab the last available dumpling, is an instant classic...

Perhaps more importantly, the report was constructed with considerable student input, marking it a welcome departure from the heavy-handed decision-making of the Party Fund debacle. The report’s vision, however, was neither perfect nor complete. We disagree with certain stipulations, such as the somewhat arbitrary limit of two events per weekend, and feel that the College must do more to facilitate social life. (Lengthened Pub hours and a mechanism to incentivize individuals to host parties seem like good places to start.)These changes are just a few of the many...
