Sorry Erik - Van Damme wins hands down with cheese factor

He's simply the most entertaining out of all of them IMO, and the best stunt man alive. Seagall and Van Damme are just plain douchebags.

Bruce was great, but if he was still alive he would be 69 years old. Hardly a threat.

I'd really like to see some evidence that Bruce Lee accepted challenges to fight by random people. I find this claim highly improbable.

best Martial Arts Film moment: When Bruce Lee reaches out and grabs a handful of Chuck Norris's chest hair and pulls it out! Then blows it out of his hand. Even as a boy I knew that move was totally awesome.

That was a great move!

It wasn't improbable at all for top martial artists to be challenged and fight. Especially someone that challenged the conventions of tradition. That has been going on as far back as recorded history among martial art teachers or prominent martial artists. It's just the pampered actors of today in our "get in a fight and go to jail" world today that makes it hard for us to believe this stuff.

It was metioned in a documentary about him by a couple of actors in the film with him specific incidences where he'd would make quick work of someone that wants a shot at beating the master. Also, the whole reason he came to America was because he was getting in so many fights growing up. They wanted to distance him from that.

Yes, he was for real during his time anyway. Now-a-days MMA has devloped and has been refined beyond his technique

The women dancing like that look sexy, the guy, not so much.

I voted for Jet Li because he is the star in Fist of Legend - one my favorite films. Other films, not mentioned, I'd also suggest

-36th Chambers of Shaolin
-One-Armed Swordsman

I think his best moment was this scene as it made him an instant hero with the Chinese people overnight.

Actually that doesn't include No Retreat No Surrender 'cause it never came out on DVD here in the US.

He was Badass in this movie, even though the movie was so low budget.

If we're talking about movie martial artists, I'll have to go with Jackie Chan. He's such a great entertainer, qua martial artist. And a great martial arts movie should be entertaining, no? Else, why not just watch martial arts competitions for technical skill?

I like Jackie too but why do all of his movies need to be comidies? Its too late now but he should have done some serious stuff too. He had the talent, WTH?

 

[milkweg]

Because he didn't have the looks nor the body for a serious action star. Ya gotta look buff if you want to look the part for serious action. Like me for example.

 

[olblueyez]

Wouldnt make a difference to me as long as mofo's were dying. The serious stuff makes me bloood thristy, its more exciting. Everytime I see Bloodsport or Enter the Dragon I wanna go rip someones throat out and drink their blood.
