Who Is Your Favorite Movie Martial Artist?

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.

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)

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. :D

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,

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.

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.

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.

#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.

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

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.

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.

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"

      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.

      Congratulations Lorelei! Yes, it is a powerful feeling to have the documents that say "you are you".

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).

      I will have arrived when I have a b*tch certificate of my own.  I think someone called me one once.

      That’s fantastic Lorelei. I’m so happy for you.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone,   It’s Thursday well as least I took my Thursday Medications as sorted out in my weekly dispensary caddy. Today’s coffee is Folgers Breakfast Blend served HOT, black and strong. My wife and I are going to explore the Western and Southern coasts of Saginaw Bay and hang out in Bay City, MI. today.    @Willowonce @Abigail Genevievepointed out the word usage in your post. I read it and laughed, enjoying the snarky tone of the comment. Since it was spelled correctly I thought maybe you meant for it to read just as you typed it. Then the kinder gentler me thought it would be better if I changed it. I’m not saying I corrected it, I just changed the severity of the sentence.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
