If you missed the 2000 movie flick "crouching tiger hidden dragon" (An American-Chinese-Hong Kong-Taiwanese co-production film) you sure better shouldn't miss this one, which isn't a movie but a true story,
A fight broke out in the Japanese parliament on September 17 as opposition lawmakers tried to stop a bill that could see the military fight abroad for the first time since World War II. The brawl which came after hours of rigorous debate, failed to stop them from being approved as members of the ruling coalition stood up to signify their votes in favour. The bills are now expected to go to the full upper house on Friday, where they will likely be passed to become law. See more still images below of how the drama unfolded
