If it wasnt for Sonny Chiba, you probally wouldnt have heard of Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan. He is the original Kung Fu star. Do some research & you might learn something.

Jackie Chan is a horrid actor, and they wonder why his films fail miserably. He can't carry a film on his own. He always needs a hip co-star to carry the acting weight of the film, and unfortunately that hasn't worked...except for RUSH HOUR.

Maybe when he acts in english (obviously not his first language). But in cantonese he's a great actor. Just watch the young master in cantonese when he pours his heart out to his teacher and you'll see he CAN act.

 

[Quentin Black]

Jet Li is the best martial artist in real life, talentwise he is pretty good but nothing special, film choice wise he bums.

What about MARC DECASCOS ???
Why the heck isn't HE in this list.

The guy did
CRYING FREEMAN...
BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF...
DRIVE
ONLY THE STRONG and
errrrrrr CRADLE TO THE GRAVE n lastly

THE CROW series.

Second tht vote... and we're talking about GOOD ACTORS here... no talking about who can do better AMERICAN movies.

Heck 80% of JACKIE CHAN movies are better than most of the crap that comes out... like SWAT... BAD BOYS or CRADLE TO THE GRAVE.

Laslty... he makes wholesome movies that while the entire family can enjoy has amazing fighting choregraphy... which uptil now I've never seen in any movie other than MATRIX n DRIVE.

That's definitely one thing Chan has done better than any other MA is making movies a family can enjoy.

a good question

 

[Zenien]

Chuck Norris isn't a real martial artist is he?

 

[War Lord]

He is a black belt in Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwan Do. He also has an eighth-degree black belt in Tae Kwan Do.

 

[Zenien]

Oh yeah, sorry I was thinking about Jean Claude.

 

[War Lord]

Jean Claude Van Damme was a Former European Professional Karate Association middleweight champion. He also was a ballerina.

 

[Zenien]

Really? Man, I'd always heard he was an amature who faked his way through looking like a martial artist onscreen.

He was also a celebrity bodyguard. I can't remember who he was guarding at the time, but they suggested he go into movies. The rest, as they say is history.
