Martial arts actors

Postby Sammy Boy » Thu Nov 23, 2006 1:49 am

So, which martial arts actors do you like, and who is your favourite, if any?

I think Jet Li is good, but my favourite is Donnie Yen.

I saw bits of Donnie's moves in "In the Line of Duty" (can't remember which part) and "Dragon Tiger Gate". Though he is not as famous as Jet or Jackie Chan, I thought he was pretty slick.

I'm a Jackie Chan fan myself...I just love how his stunts are brilliantly done yet still funny.

Jackie Chan. Great humor, and IMHO, the best actor of them.

Final Fantasy 7

"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."
-Fellowship of the Ring, by JRR Tolkien

I'll echo the Jackie Chan fans who've already spoken; he was quite funny in Disney's version of Around the World in 80 Days. :lol:

Jackie Chan's older movies were good, but now more current movies (Like the Tuxedo and The Medallion) are all kind of lame.

Jet Li is also really good. So is Chow Yun Fat.

But nobody beats Andy Lau. Andy Lau, though not a martial artist, is like the greatest Hong Kong actor ever.

Tony Huaong (sp?) is also a great Hong Konbg actor. And good at martial arts to boot.

But it was the late great Bruce Lee who led the way.Martial arts movies without
Bruce Lee would be like James Bond without Sean Connery or Westerns without
John Wayne.Lee was the one that everyone wanted to be like and the one who inspired all the rest that came after him.

I liked Bruce Lee for his attitude towards martial arts. That we should always be learning new things and adding them to what we know. In a way, Bruce Lee is the grandfather of modern MMA (mixed martial arts) IE the UFC, Pride FC, etc.

I think there must have been a curse on the Lee family since Bruce died during the filming of a movie and his son died during the filming of another movie.

i like jet li for more of the action, but i've been a jackie chan fan longer (for his older films of course)....because he's more comical
Beware...I have an attitude and I'm not afraid to use it. :shady:

Michelle Yeoh is actually my favorite, although I am a Jackie Chan fan as well.

Jackie Chan, of course. Although I really like Sammo Hung. He's very funny. He's partnered a lot with Jackie Chan and his humor is based on his unexpected litheness, since his size is large. http://www.sammohung.com/

H_Fan: Have you seen My Lucky Stars, I think it is one of the most funniest martial arts movie I have seen! It stars Sammo and Jackie. :D

I like Michelle Yeoh, she is beautiful, graceful, elegant yet fierce and strong a lot like a Siberian White Tiger. I simply loved her in Crochting Tiger Hidden Dragon. Her character was my favorite in that movie.

Jhn 1: 1-5 KJ

1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2) The same was in the beginning with God.
3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.



Psalm 115: 105-106 OKJ

105) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106) I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgements.


Psalm 91:1-2

1) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty
2) I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
