I actually was surprised to see people jumping to conclusions considering the title "Operation Overdrive" doesn't really indicate treasure hunting.

Plus the title' been changed like 4 times XD

Pai Zhuq Kung Fu

Any chance someone can translate what this means?

Well according to ZhongWen.com there is no such thing as 'zhuq', and while ZhongWen.com doesn't have every word in the chinese language I do find the term 'zhuq' extremely suspicious... it just doesn't 'sound' like a real word.

'Pai' on the other hand exists. It can mean to shoot a movie, to hesitate, or the joining of two rivers... depends on the tone.

Maybe "zhuq" was just romanized improperly?

So basically, everyone who was freaking out over the name and thought that it meant there wouldn't be a martial arts emphasis in the show is now being served up an party-sized pizza topped with extra crow. Eat up, guys.

I doubt it. 'uq' is not a proper sound in Chinese.

a, e, i, o, u, y, ai, ei, ou, ao, yi, ue, an, en, ang, ong, etc etc... I studied all the basic sounds when I took my chinese classes, none of them sounds like 'uq'. So I doubt 'Zhuq is a real word.
