Who Is Your Favorite Movie Martial Artist?

[Guest Zoddy]

Jackie Chan.

All his stunts are real, his kong fu is amazing, and is the closest thing I have to an idol.

Not to mention he's a "kickass" actor.

[Guest one_tuff_cookie!]

Definitely David Belle, founder of parkour! District B13 is what inspired me to start doing parkour! (look it up on google if you don't know what it is)

[Guest Micha]

Jason Statham vs Jet Li for the win!

[Guest Sam_P]

Jason Statham vs Jet Li for the win!

That would definitely be an interesting one to watch. Transporter 3 was incredible. The Forbidden Kingdom was side-splittingly hilarious.

I know I posted here already, but I wanted to add, for those of you saying Jackie Chan... I re-watched a documentary called "How Brus Lee Changed the World"... and when talking to Jackie Chan, he said Bruce Lee was the greatest of all time, and lots of people on there including Mr Chan, said without him, we may not even have movies like the matrix, and other martial arts movies here in the states. A lot of the martial artists in movies today may not have ever had a movie career if it wasn't for Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee probably did more for martial arts in the western world than anybody. I love the art of the movements but I have a hard time with the violence of most of the movies.

Jackie Chan has brought humor, silliness, and humility into the mix and so I like most of his stuff and really do not tend to watch the others anymore because they tend to remind me of who I am working hard to not be. Some of Jackie’s old movies are now being released on DVD with subtitles because they are in Chinese.

Bruce Lee Worked so hard to bring believable fight sequences into Martial Arts films and to lose the filming of people leaping over each other, doing somersaults in mid air and landing several meters away - just by not filming the trampolines or small catapults used to launch them.

Sadly now with all of the Special Effects over content movies we are back to levitating people and impossible movements that it seems that his legacy is already forgotten - Jackie Chan is the only one I know of following in his footsteps which unfortunately lead him into numerous injuries.

Love ya,

.

Jackie Chan for me......

I love his sense of humor....

I really don't like the violence overall, though....

[Guest little_sephy]

Jean-Claude Van Damme, and might as well go for Jackie Chan too! XD

[Guest Cowboy]

Jackie Chan

Rumble In The Bronx is one of my favorites.

2nd best:

CHUCK NORRIS!!

[Guest Sam_P]

Jean-Claude Van Damme, and might as well go for Jackie Chan too! XD

I was just going to put in a shout for Van Damme. He has another Universal Soldier film coming out this year apparently. I think Kickboxer is my favourite of his though.

[Guest Rem]

Clark Gable.

And, yeah, technically he wasn't a "martial artist." In fact, he never learned martial arts in any way or shapeless form. But he's still Clark Gable. So that means he's the default best at anything, no matter what genre it is.

[Guest Melanie Dawn]

Ya Jackie Chan worked as a stunt fighter against Bruce when Jackie got his start. He said Bruce hit him one time, and was so concerned with him being ok ...Bruce Lee..a class act.

[Guest KathyK]

Tony Jaa and Jackie Chan, but I only really liked ong-bak and the drunken master because they were so funny.

[Guest TaraD]

Bruce Lee Nough said.

[Guest Sharah]

#1 Bruce Lee

#2 Chuck Norris

#3 Tom Laughlin

#4 Jackie Chan

$5 Jason Stratham

[Guest Addis Hellfire]

#1 - Jet Li - Not only is he a real kick to watch (hah, pun intended) . . holy hell, he actually blends into the roles rather nicely. Fearless, Expendables, and . . the one where he has the collar that makes him docile when it's on (ack, bad memory strikes again!!)

#2 - Jackie Chan - Real nice guy in person and actually would be tied with Jet Li. He's actually more entertaining to watch, but, he doesn't blend into his roles quite as well. THEN AGAIN, I admit to not having seen enough of his movies.

#3 - Bruce Li - You just know somebody's in trouble when he walks on screen. Nothing really complex here, he's a favorite of mine.

[Guest Owen]

I'd have to say :/.....Jackie Chan

[Guest Courtney Taylor]

Jackie Chan gets my vote! He is so awesome.

[Guest Sam_P]

Jackie Chan is brilliantly hilarious, but I think sometimes his humorous take on everything makes it hard for me to take the films seriously.

[Guest Deena]

I have a great deal of respect for how far Steven Segal got with his skill - I believe he is one of only a handful of people in the world who has made it as far As he has (aikido?)

I like chuck Norris because he is a real conservative as well but I also like Angelina Jolie who has an advanced belt in something like taikwondo.

[Guest CLAIRE100]

Bruce Lee closely followed by Chuck Norris. The classic fight seen they had with each other in"Return of the Dragon" is an all time classic, with Norris playing the villain in collesium in Rome.

[Guest Elizabeth K]

Kung Fu Panda - yes!

[Guest Tanyalynn]

Jet Li currently. Even in a non martial arts film like The Mummy 3, he was brilliant.
