Best movie martial artist

[shukokai2000]

i agree with chan / lee & seagal .

 

although i like watching van damm he tends to use the camera to show 1 move at different camera angles giving us a false allution.

okay i relize that for entertainment purposes my pick isnt the greates, but thinking of who is the best in a fight i have to go with Steven Seagal.

 

the guy supposedly never lost a fight while training under his master instructor and when he started his own dojo in japan, he lived to tell the tale.

 

being a Round Eye so to speak and starting your own dojo in japan is not exactly the smartest thing in the world to do.

Van Damme could whip Norris anyday. Every body knows that !

Movies are gonna start running out of MA stars! They are all getting old.They gotta bring back Ernie Reyes Jr.!

Are you crazy?! Van Damme is the worst of all of these guys. He shouldn't even be a choice. Can't act, doesn't get selected for good movies, uses maybe four or five different moves then replays them in slo-mo throughout the whole movie. Norris would kill him without even meaning to. But I must admit, however good at MA Norris is, his movies are pretty awful.

 

My vote went to Bruce because he actually directed all his fight scenes in addition to coreographing (how do you spell that?) preforming, and not using any special effects. His camera placement and cinematography were exceptional. But Steven Segal and Jackie Chan are right up there IMO as well. Jackie Chan in particular must be the hardest working movie maker in world, whether you're talking about martial arts movies or any other kind of movies.

 

And, again (I've said this on other threads) where's Sonny Chiba? I'm not saying he'd win, but c'mon, he'd at least beat out Van Damme, and Maybe Chuck too.
