    Just curious to know who ye think is/was the best actor out there when it comes to kick ass movies.

    Personally I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee.... have ye seen his 1 inch punch..... amazing!

    However, if it had to be a martial artist that's still alive I would saw Seagal, his hand motions alone are incredible.

    check out the poll and choice one, in the event of other please specify.

    I think Jet Li should be there, amoungst his many cringeworthy movies there are a couple of gems (watch his fight in Once Upon a Time in China 2 against Donny Yue)

    But then again jackie rocks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 287 ✭✭iasc


    Jackie Chan without a doubt, the stunts he has done, are mind blowing
    Police Storys, Drunken Masters, amazing films, his martial artists are brilliant combined with these, he's just unique

    Jet Li, would be second for me, Fist Of Legend and the unce upon a time trilogy, as well as fong -sai yuks would put him there for me

    Brucey Lee, needed a few more movies for me, where has he been all these years?

    Jet Li:

    -For using deadly Dim-Mak combined with Acupuncture in Kiss of the Dragon

    -For kicking the crap out of a hall of black belt cops in KOTD

    -For beating up Chuck Lidell, Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz in Cradle 2 the Grave

    -Because the new trailer for Hero looks incredible.


    In contrast:

    Steven Seagal

    -consistently acts like a pig dog

    -mis-represented Aikido for years

    -used to beat Kelly Le Brock

    -is the worst dressed person in cinema history

    -claims he used to be in the CIA :rolleyes:

    For "realistic" dramatic fight scenes - Toshiro Mifune - great movie-Jujutsu and kenjutsu!

    For acrobatics/humour Jet Li & Jacki Chan.

    oh lets not forget Patrick Swayzee in The Cooler

    Yeah its been out on dvd since then, if ya buy it from over there, its a brilliant film visually, the fights are good too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭memphis


    Seems alot of ye are fans of Chan. I think people seem to choose him for for the humour though more so than for the martial arts. Though he has done some amazing stunts over the years.

    And yes i agree Jet Li should be on the list, he's up there with the top 5. Was great in kiss of of the dragon ok.

    And although it was mostly all visual effects, Keanu was good in the Matrix. Am I correct in saying he is a black belt in karate or something?

    I'm sure the list is endless, and you could add in a few actors/actresses and saw they were good in a few fighting scenes throughout films, but generally wouldn't be regarded as martial artists.

    I thought the MA in the recent "Bourne ..." films was pretty damn good. Tight, fast, strategic and looked cool too.

    I wouldn't rate the Matrix at all - waaaay to wirey and stylised. I also find the "1-2"ness of most chinese martial arts films quite tedious even if the stunts are extrmely well choreographed and usually very funny. I agree that the "Sun Fa Yuk" series with Jet Li is great - a classic - but you get tired of the same old 1-2 formula.

    Give me a good Kurasawa flic any day of the week... real-time sword action, no messin'. :eek:

    Dor sheer sword-wielding insanity with the best ending ever, check out one of Kurasawas' contempories...."Sword of Doom"...(in Laser Video i think).. its sublime.

    Now thats a true classic. I love those movies. Tell me, can they be bought on DVD, and if so where I've been looking out for them for sometime and can't seem to locate em.

    Well for my own opinion, I love the baby cart series on 'Lone Wolf and Cub' stories. I don't know the actor, this is the origianl sword slashing, limbs missin' which inspired the Kill Bill flick. My all time favorite move is catching the sword blade above the head by clapping the hands together.

    I've only seen them in Laser Video shops here to rent. But they have all six in the series. They also do a 3 for 3 nights a the price of one nights rental. Great for that lazy Sunday bloated afternoon feeling.... :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,081 ✭✭✭Musashi


    As the thread asks it, "The Best Martial Artist In Movies" has to be Jet Li, or Li Juan Jae, once renowned as the best Martial Artist in China!
    For Cinematic excellence you again have to give a nod to Jet Li for his "Black Mask" series as well as "Romeo Must Die" and "The One".
    I enjoy Jackie Chan and Seagal,Speakman and Norris,Van Damme and especially Marc DeCascos for "American Samurai" and "Drive".
    The forgotten man here may be Ernie Reyes Jr. of Ninja Turtles and his latest turn in "Welcome To The Jungle" with "The Rock"!! Even "Surf Ninjas" was an ok movie??
    Of course the old Kirosawa movies are the benchmark of class and atmosphere but as "The Last Samurai" showed you don't have to be a world class MA Stylist to look good on screen!
    Incidentally the stuff in the "Bourne" series is Filipino Martail Arts such as Escrima and Pentjak Silat, also seen in the "Hunted" with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Torro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭pearsquasher


    Best sword fight ever filmed...

    The Twilight Samurai - the final duel. Short sword vs. katana indoors. Chaotic and bloody and amazingly well choreographed. The sound of blood hitting the tatami was unnatural and it showed the horror of the inevitable death but not in a gorey way. There was a bother fight ealier in the film that took my breath away too and it only asted 10 seconds.

    For gore, the Lone Wolf series is a must. Every possible (and impossible probably) way of getting hacked by a sword is shown. Those samurai sure
    had high blood pressure. *Ching! Sppppppppppppppllshhhhhhhhhh.....

    Anyone see "Zatoichi"? It was pretty zaney and the sword fighting was more "Kill Bill" than Kurasawa and the special effects blood was awfull...... so obviously graphics-produced it was like a cheap flash animation!

    Thanks Damo W,

    You have no idea how much I appreciate that. Just ordered the Best of the Best 1 for £4.49 (including P&P). Should have it by wednesday. I have been looking for that for ages. You've made me a very happy man.

    Cheers,

    Seagal is apparently an arrogant moron. Gene Lebell choked him out on set for being a complete twat..

    As far as entertainment goes, I'll never tire of watching a Bruce Lee flick..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭echomadman


    Of all time, Bruce Lee. Alive at the moment, maybe Jet Li.
    However, if any of you have seen Ong Bak, you'll probably agree that the guy that plays Ting in it is unbelievable, Mauy Thai action at its dirtiest :).

    Steven Seagal is a muppet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭batman_oh


    eric roberts in best of the best??
    he was awful
    how about philip rhee(tommy lee) and his brother simon rhee(dae han) in those films
    brilliant taekwondo exhibition and in the second philip rhee shows lots of nice grapplin and stuff too

    Master Simon Rhee is a 7th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and a 4th Degree Black Belt in Hap Ki Do.
    His brtother, Phillip Rhee holds ranks of 6th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a 3rd degree black belt in Hap Ki Do and a 1st degree black belt in Kendo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭batman_oh


    that would explain it alright
    i think phillip rhee is as good as any1 ive seen on screen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭pearsquasher


    "Saving Private Ryan" had some excellent martial arts in it as did "Braveheart". (Thats got nothing to do with them both being filmed in Ireland, by he way ;) )

    Also, i was an extra on the "King Arthur" set for three months in Kildare/Wicklow and got to see some pretty cool stuff done by choreographers that worked with the likes of Jackie Chan amongst others. It was interesting when they drilled us for fighting scenes how they emphasised the need for "BIG" movements so the camera could pick it up and it would look good.

    I found my martial arts training in a whole new light when in the middle of a 20 minute battle scene, surrounded by 20 guys of various sizes slashing at each other with all sorts of weapons - some not exactly props material. All the choreography you did with your partner(s) broke down after one minute when the adreniline started flowing. Instincts that I found to my delight, were augmented somewhat by mat-time. I experienced tunnel vision and "lost time" as primal instincts took over. Obviously we were not trying to actually kill each other and our movements were exagerated but you still had to enter the world of good distance and timing in order to stay safe in that environment so you stayed switched on and embraced the chaos of battle.

    You slipped, you lost your weapon, you picked up a helmet and threw it at the nearest aggresive shape coming for you.... you forgot about that hurt elbow, you ran away from guys bearing down on you and you picked off the weaker/smaller foes. You ganged up on the strong fighters and you used every sneaky trick in the book to survive.

    There was all sorts of dudeds there form MA background like Mua Thai, Goju Ryu Karate, Capolrela and some Kung Fu and i had interesing chats with them about how their own training came into play. There were doxens of re-enactors ranging from Scottish highlanders who used what they called "streamlined" ninjutsu to investigate fighting with highland weapons to chaps who took part in huge demos of the battle of Waterloo. There was an Italian gentleman who studied 17th century Italian fencing and there were Mixed MA folks who were involved in stunt work. I had to fight a chap who spent 7 years in Sweden and go into some of the Viking arts over there and another guy, from Poland, who worked on epic Polish films depicting their massive middle-age cavalry charges. I didn't meet any other Bujinkan people there but made some great friends and got a hint at what sort of environment martial arts were born out of - big battles and fights to the death. Facinating stuff and the nearest i'll probably ever get to real fighting (fingers crossed)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭memphis


    Sounds pretty cool pearsquasher.

    I'd love to be an extra in a movie like that.

    I was involved in some documentary filmed in Fethard, Tipperary some years ago about the famine, but apparently when it was sent back to RTE for editing I was cut out of it. It was only a crowd scene anyway.

    How do ya manage to get involved in big movies like King Arthur?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭pearsquasher


    i got involved with that movie cos i just saw a poster in Tower Records 'extras wanted for Bruckheimers ''King arthur" - went to the screentest with me beard and hey presto.

    (I thought the movie itself sucked mostly although i liked the cinematography - they cut out hours of fight-footage ... too bloody aparrently)


    The Polish guy - who also had some jujutsu experience, was a photojournalist and said the nearest he got to such chaotic battlefield conditions was a riot in Germany one time with batton-charges and tear gas


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 jonahenk


    There is no doubt that bruce lee was the best martial artist.
    He just didn't like to show all of it.
    Steven seagal is the worst martial artist he's the worst actor too.
    Jet li or sumthing made to many movies that weren't real more like the matrix.
    and jackie chan isnt that good but he does cool stunts and he is funny.
    Jean claude van damme is a good martial artist and he kicks really cool but still not one of the gets close to bruce lee.
    If you want to see a really cool movie go and watch Ong Bak.
    It sounds boring but the guy that plays in it is really good and is really fast.
    He's definitly the number 2 for me.

    Is that being taught anywhere in Dublin? Looked quite practical...

    Jet Li would get my vote.

    That or Christian Bale's gun kata in Equilibrium ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    you've got Fillipino Martial Arts goin on down in the church hall in Molesworth Place. thursday from 6:00ish and sahhardays 12sh onwards. Beginners are initially frowned at from a distance but once we're used to yer scent we is nice folk :D

    Theres also a fillipino chap called Ding out in Bray ( i think) and donnybrook. trained there a few times, very nice guy.

    The stuff in that film The Hunted is Sayoc kali, the instructor we train under(Krishna Godhania) is their european rep. he speaks highly of what they do. check out sayoc.com, some interesting clips there.

    Silat wise, you've got a chap called liam mcdonald teaching teaching silat in dublin. Never met him or seen what he does so thats all i know about it.

    One point though: i wouldnt go judging how effective something is from a movie ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,425 ✭✭✭Fidelis


    Ah that gun kata was legendary - beating the bejesus out of 6 guys in motorcycle helmets with the serated butts of a pair of handguns.

    Brandon Lee also gets my vote for Rapid Fire.

    The blood in Zatoichi was comically bad, thought the movie was only alright to be honest.

    Just thought I'd mention him as nobody else seems to have done so...

    Sho Kosugi - I remember a lot of his films I saw in the late 80s...
    Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja, Pray for Death, 9 Deaths of the Ninja, etc... havent heard anything of him in years though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18 ActionMan


    Just voted for Jackie Chan, if only for Snake in the Eagles Shadow alone. People always seem to forget the fact that he's a simply insane martial artist and only remember him for breakin his leg in Rumble in the Bronx! Jet lee would be my second nod. Chinese champ for like 6 years or somethin. and there's like 16million kids studyin martial arts in china! And what about sammo hung, or Donnie yen. there's some unreal stuff out there from 30 or more years ago! way before any of this fast edit crap came in to effect. As for the matrix; lets just say CGs only gotten worse since Jurassic Park! Segal and Van Damme are both fools and their recent stuff is just awful, but i still love them! Marc Dacascos is a king! In the end there's only one way to solve it, start a worldwide petition calling for all living martial arts actors to jon together and make an earth-dwellers only mortal combat film! Bruce was great but a bit too philosophical to survive in todays blood thirsty environment...

    Last weeks had to see again films:
    Snake in the Eagles Shadow
    Tai Chi Boxer
    The Princess Blade

    and for the toasted ham and cheese fans:
    Double Impact :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭memphis


    Just when I think this thread is dead, someone brings it back to life.

    Anyway, seeing that the topic has popped up again, how does one become a martial arts movie star? I assume they gotta be a black belt in some forum of MA, along with a degree in acting or something?

    Are you on a drip from holywood? Please just watch Snake in the Eagles Shadow or Drunken Master and then come back here and repeat that he "isnt that good"!!!! He's the MASTER! Gangs of women didn't attempt (and some of them succeed) suicide upon finding out he's married just because he "does cool stunts" and "is funny"! If you need help in choosing films just ask, we're all here outta love...

    Memphis me auld son, how are ya?

    Becomming a martial arts film star is easy 0- just be great at martial arts and acting, then be miraculously lucky and get cast in a martial arts film that rocks the world! Personally i took the alternate route. Currently in post production of my first writer/director/star action feature film. shot last february in the blistering cold, some is questionable, some is quality and some is just a bit quare! Preppin for my next venture also. My history is that of a child raised on 80's action (i learned to be a gentleman from the A-team and Michael Knight!) and went on to train in the Gaiety school. didn't tell them my goal was that of being an action hero (had been laughed at for years in school) and when i did the heckling started again! When i finished up i had my worst fears proven... IRELAND IS NOT THE CENTRE OF THE ACTION FILM WORLD! so i'm now on a mission of world domination. (look out for "K*v#n M*#~+N - World Master" coming soon. its my manefesto for savin the world!) Hope i've answered your question...

    click my link - its tiny but its me and my car last Feb 29th!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 223 ✭✭dabhal


    I can't believe that no one mentioned Donnie Yen.
    Absolutley the best fight scences I have seen in years
    Iron Monkey
    Blade2
    Highlander endgame are some of the best known.

    I really surprised he has not had a major film breakthrough like Jet Li who by the way has not made a decent film since he moved to hollywood.

    I thought Donnie's fight scenes with jet li in "once upon a time in china 2", were good. I was dissappointed with him in Blade 2. I was expecting a big fight scene with him and those swords he had, unfortunatly we didnt see much of him and his character was killed pretty quickly.

    Died in the 70's quite controversially. Hypothetically I think the only one on the list he would have trouble beating would be Segal. Segal's loves himself too much for my liking though. Look for a film called Enter the Dragon.

    Bruce is the legend!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,693 ✭✭✭pma-ire


    i was just looking through the thread...

    Donnie Yen is around for donkeys years, and I think I remember him in a few Jackie flicks. I would guess that the ego of Snipes put an end to any cool Sh*t Donnie could have done in that movie :rolleyes: Pity cause it would have made Blade look better to beat a guy like him :cool: Donnie seems to be happy just doing the behind the scenes bit at the moment.

    Samo is :cool: He was the bloke Bruce kicked the crap out of at the start of Enter the dragon :D (Jackie is in that movie as well). But not only that, he gives us fat boy MA'ers someone to look up to.

    Yeun Biao, is the younger of the 3 amigos (Samo, Jackie and Yeun). I hav'int heard about him much lately. But I think I've seen his name as stunt credit in a few movies just don't ask me the names :rolleyes: The last movie I saw him in was a Cynthia Rothrock one about ten years ago. His washing scene in Young Master was robbed by Chris "Whats his Name" in Batman Forever.

    Don't forget Gordan Leu, last seen in the Kill Bill flicks. He played the Master and the head bad guy of Lucy Liu's gang. He has a big list of Shaolin moives the chamber series mainly. :D

    I remember a guy called Kwang Jang Lee. He was the only Korean MA Movie Star I can think of. What a pair of legs :shock: The last time I saw this man in action was in a Jackie Flick called City Hunter (a pisstake but a classic). The first time I saw him was as the bad guy at the end of Young Master :confused: Don't quote me on that :D. He was also in some Gordan Leu movies and one or two of Jet Ji's. *(I thought Sho Kosugi was in a flick called Ninja in the Dragons Den. But it was me old friend Kwang, try to get this it's the biz ;) )

    The guy in the Transporter is the guy from Lock Stock' and Snatch ???

    Sho Kosugi, I used to think he was a pisstaker. But after watching a ninja moive he done called...(Can't remember) I thought he was'int that bad in it compared to his other sh*te :D

    Don't forget the Bruce Willis of Hong Kong, Chow Yun Fat.

    But as I said before Bruce is the King ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 54 ✭✭DrunkenMaster


    With no doubt, Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee are the best, but I have tosay Jackie,because he has received the most hard training, and is practicing the martial arts during more than 40 years :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 54 ✭✭DrunkenMaster


    Forget freaks and amateur brats like tony jaa and ,please see NEW POLICE STORY...
    With this film Jackie demonstrates two main things; the first one,he is able to make even better stuff than before, and the second and most important,here he demonstrates that at the age of 50 he can move and perform his gung fu even better and faster than in some of his 80s films like Police Story II or Miracles,LET ALONE IF WE TALK ABOUT THE STUNTS,they´re simply awesome, in many senses this film is very similar to Police Story,part one action,rythm,stunts, and even better acting,simply GREAT!!
    Action you see in this movie is not only unbelievable for any aged 50 years old but men of all ages.Again Jackie demonstrates that he can always surprise us,and even when he is 60 he will be doing thigs he did before,because he is different to any man of the world, he has had a very different formation.
    Finally this film is also the answer to USA previous Jackie´s movies, that have treated him like a clown without any respect to him.Now he returns to his roots and again demonstrates that he is still the number one action star of the planet!
    :D:D:D

    BRUCE LEE, Wins hands down. The Original and best.
    Chuck Norris can’t act and neither could Lee, but Lee was the gateway for all the others. Van.D is a twit.
    But that actor who is Blade, forget his name, he’s pretty good mover.
    Sadly, Blade.3 sucked
