Continuing on from the previous movie scene, where Sean Connery showed off his impeccable style and wins the archery competition by shooting an I-Beam and annihilating the target, in this round the announcer points his microphone at the members of the audience because they are begging Sean to TRY to shoot the arrow with his bow instead of the I-beam. "TRY, TRY, TRY" they chant. Sean picks up the arrow, then puts it down and picks up the I-beam, going back and forth, undecided. Finally, he shrugs and decides to give it a TRY and fits the arrow into his bow. Unfortunately, he shoots it wildly off target. He throws up his hands as if to say, "See, I TRIED, and it was a complete failure." He then picks up the I-beam, shoots it and annihilates the target once again.

Neil

are there not a lot of characters that use 式 as an element or prop? or are they not that common?

Mandarin Blueprint

Yeah, 式 and 试 are pretty much it.

Location: Backyard of childhood home
Actor: Sean Connery
Props: Megaphone, I-beam, arrow

I'm hanging out in my childhood home watching a James Bond movie starring Roger Moore when I hear Sean Connery yelling for me to come out to the backyard. I go out and i see him next to an I-beam he has put in my yard with an arrow leaning on it. He's also holding a bow so I'm not sure what's up. I walk over and he tells me to shoot the arrow into a target he has set up. I tell him that I don't know how to shoot a bow and arrow. Suddenly, through, the megaphone, he yells at me "Just TRY". I tell him i can't because I've never done it. He continues to stand there yelling at me to "Just TRY" through the megaphone. I pick up the arrow and stab him through the heart so he shuts up, and I finish watching my Bond movie.
