There's this scene in the
Jet Li movie
Swordsman II where in the course of a breakout, an old
martial arts master drains the
life essence out of two guards. Not only does this kill them, it also instantly shrinks them to the size of
Cabbage Patch Kids.
Later, when his comrades are about to attack the aged master, Jet Li warns: "Look out! He knows Essence Absorbing Stance!".
My friends and I repeated that line to each other for weeks afterward.
