Ironberg Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Jet Li hands down. He's calmer and more collected than Bruce Lee and still kicks major *. I pointed this out in another post, but Jet Li's style of fighting in "Cradle 2 the Grave" was unique. It represented everything that is "fluid" and reactive in martial arts. He kept his right hand in his pocket throughout the entire fight scenes throughout the first half of the movie. Everything about Jet Li's character was to conserve energy and not overexert. I'll grant you that the "Fight Club" scene with the UFC fighters was a bit cheesy, but was a nice attempt. Jet Li doesn't scream like a crow, he doesn't go around villiages bare-chested like a barbarian, and his acrobatics are stunning.

Drunken Monkey Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 don't like jet li. when's the last time you saw actual technique in a film he's in? it wasn't too bad in the hk films but the new hollywood stuff is just awful. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
battousai16 Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 i agree, his american movies tend to suck (romeo must die!?! blech!), though i'll admit to being entertained by kiss of the dragon. only the first time through, though. i haven't been able to watch it again.

Drunken Monkey Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 i'm kinda fond of the really old hk flicks. the ones with the slow, forms done as fighting in perfect beat, fight scenes.... you just vegetate watching them kinda theraputic. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Ironberg Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 when's the last time you saw actual technique in a film he's in? This quote somehow seems to contradict this one:you just vegetate watching them kinda theraputic. If you're not picking up on his techniques, then you are falling asleep too easily when you watch movies. Some of his techniques I like to play in slo-mo to catch their essence. His filmers have to ask him repeatedly to slow down because he is so darn fast.

battousai16 Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 i haven't really seen any of his HK movies, aside from the once upon a time in china series. kung fu movies are hard to find in WI "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
granmasterchen Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 check out jet li's fist of legend......awesome movie....i think it is my favorite martial arts movie of all time......a lot of great stuff in there, but that is just my opinion, want to make you aware that back in the day before hollywood jet had some good movies. That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
battousai16 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 actually, i have seen fist of legend. a long time ago. that's the one where he fights his girl friends japanese father and they decide that styles are equal and it's the fighter who matters, right? i forgot about that one, it's been a long time "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
battousai16 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 drunken master's gotta' be my favorite, though. heh heh, makes me laugh every time "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
