Good list. Twin Warriors ( Tai Chi Master ) is one of my favorite Jet Li movies.

Have you seen Iron Monkey with Donnie Yen and Chow Yun Fat? Its got silliness in it and some wire fu, but a fun movie. I'm a big Donnie Yen fan.

Great choice of movies. Looking at that list reminded me of one of my favorites from high school. Have any of you guys ever seen No Retreat, No Surrender? I think it may have been the first movie with Van Damme in it, but he played the bad guy.

I remember that movie. He played the Russian. And of course, he does the split in every movie, starting with this one.

The dubbing in Twin Warriors is horrible, it's a very good movie but as soon as you watch the dubbing, you feel like puking.

A few of my favourites are,

Unleashed - Jet Li
Tom Yum Goong - Tony Jaa
Drunken Master - Classic Jackie Chan

I dont think thats was Chow Yun Fat i think it is Yu Ruan Guong (he also plays the bad Mongol in Musa: The Way of the Warrior)but Iron is another Fav of Mine.

Lol Showdown i little Toyko with Kurt Russel? i like when the guy blows himself up literally!...could be the Brandon Lee Dolf movie as well cant remember atm.

what about Sho-enuff! suprised no one has mentioned
yet

What was one of the First (could be the first) American Movies Jackie Chan had a part in

[damen]

No Retreat No Surrender is one of my all-time favorites

I think Fist of Legend is probably my favorite Jet Li movie

[damen]

as a followup, I think Gorgeous is probably Jackie Chan's best movie, MA-wise. His two one-on-one fight scenes with Brad Allan are incredible

Is Showdown in Little Tokyo as good as Big Trouble in Little China? I love that movie.

Well, both are equally laughable. Except in Big Trouble in Little China they are trying to be funny, and Showdown in Little Tokyo was supposed to be a serious action flick. But I couldn't stop laughing when Dolf Lundgren dresses up as a samuari for the big fight with the Yakuza.

I really liked Ong Bak. Figures considering I have an elbows and knees fetish.
For some reason, both my friend (who first told me about the movie) and my little brother (biggest Jet Li fan ever) thought the bad guy (the Muay Khmer fighter) looked like me. Ofcourse he's nowhere near as good looking.

I have to agree that Ong Bak is the best MA movie that has come out recently just because it adds something new to MA chareography. I think we have seen same old chareography repeatedly done before.
