Snakes & Ladders is an ancient Indian board game doctored up in the 19th Century to Western standards and designed to test your courage and nerves to the limit. You have a chip on a board and it`s position is governed by the throw a dice. The chip is moved to the count of the dice throw, if it hits a snake - you go down it, if it hits a ladder - you go up it. The more ladders you climb, you win. Not for the squeamish.
It really is a triple "X" cert game and anybody with a heart condition, should not attempt it. Modern whizz-bang, exploding humans films and over indulgent Martial Arts rubbish just cannot compete.
Sounds boring. Sounds like any other board game except it's based on morality. I go outside and climb real ladders at work on incinerator towers 150 feet in the air to check a valve and verify information for haz ops, real adrenaline. Snakes and Ladders has a reputation because it was based on morality, so are so many movies... If you watch them and just see the action, you are missing entirely. Movies are the same as books are the same as games, just presented in a different medium.
Speaking of martial arts films... Anyone seen IP Man? Great movie!
