who do you think are the best martial arts performers for this age?

ah okay...hehe. actually its really my husband who's into watching such kinds of movies, i am just influenced by him! and when he's watching i just look but i don't bother to ask who's those actors are. so maybe i have watched those other people you mention but i just don't know their names! well i try looking for their pictures and surprisingly, i have watched them all already! except wu jing that i can't recall any of his movie that etched on my mind...hehe

yeah, wu jing is not very famous because he appeared more in mainland china-produced series. only until 2005, where wu jing achieved success in hong kong action cinema in the movie spl: sha po lang with his role as a vicious assassin. in fact, i first learnt about him because of this movie. spl: sha po lang is a very violent movie (not for the faint-hearted) but it is very realistic especially if you talk about the gangsters in today's modern days. he killed the supercops heartlessly with no delays but finally killed by donnie yen (head of the supercops). he killed the first supercop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_qGcm2sk-A he killed the second and third supercops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwBfpR_Qf_c he was killed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMr9FkjLrxU

yes, tony jaa is the one in ong bak! he is now being considered as the most well-rounded martial arts action stars nowdays. he has a very bright future especially when jackie chan retires. people would have to watch him when talking about martial arts movies. it seems like you know jackie chan and jet li because they are in hollywood. all the others (that i mentioned) have not made it to hollywood, and so they are not very internationally known (unless you really like martial arts). if you like serious types of martial arts movies, donnie yen's and tony jaa's are the best. they do not mix with visual/special effects and you can see their moves clearly.

Ooops...what I meant was some had retired which is not in your list . It seems like I had confused you, when I mentioned about retire then suddenly jump to Bruce Lee isn't it...very sorry for that. You requested to upload my video and show off my moves ah...friend, don't make me laugh or don't make the audience's laugh . I'm not a comedian nor a joker but you really good at getting someone to work.

no stunt...Forget about it man.

no, i am not expecting you to upload a joke/comedy video. i am serious to see you in action with some unique stunt moves...

yup we do need good new ones to be in wehn CHuck no longer can

yeah, both are great! hoping to see more new martial artists coming up!

That is the literal definition, but colloquially it just means someone, male or female, who is young and alluring but off-limits on account of being too young for the person s/he is attracting. I like this video, but it always hangs up in the middle--probably the fault of my computer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJDPksQAq48&feature=related

look what i found from dictionary.com : http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jail-bait yeah, jackie chan is a comedian too despite the fact that he is a great martial artist and stunt performer. so he really know how to be funny and make people laugh. of course he is also an actor, action choreographer, filmmaker, producer, and screenwriter too. but many has not realize that he is also a singer who had released a number of albums and also sung many of the theme songs for the films he starred.

the myth is a fantasy-adventure movie and the story-line is quite touching. i like this theme song of the myth too! actually jackie chan is also a singer who had released quite a number of music albums. i wonder whether he would open his own live concert in the future?

Who said I knew Sammo? That isn't what you asked. I would think the older they are the more experienced and there for best in rank. I don't watch martial arts and know very little about it. I have seen them both perform and admire them highly.

wow, you knew sammo hung?! i don't see many people talk about him and here in this discussion, people don't even recognize him. actually he is the senior of jackie chan from the same master but jackie chan is more well-known. by the way, how do you know sammo hung? you like martial arts? another question, i think jackie chan and sammo hung are nearing their retire age. who do you think could replace them? i mean if you want to watch martial arts movies, which martial artists would be your choice?

oh... sorry for misunderstanding... anyway, at least you said you seen sammo performs, most people don't even know him.

Ong Bak 3 is one I will definitely be keeping an eye out for. I do think Tony Jaa does have really big things ahead of him.

yes, ong bak is a must watch movie. and ong bak 3 will be released somewhere in this year 2010. tony jaa is one of the most well-rounded among all the martial artists today. and he is the youngest to have arrived up to this stage, i think.

yes, bruce is is a legend. without him, nobody will know about kungfu or even chinese. and it is because of him, chuck norris, jackie chan, sammo hung, jet li, donnie yen, tony jaa, wu jing, etc. get inspired. i can say that all martial arts performers in the world take bruce lee as their idol.

unfortunately, all of them are getting older now. there must be new martial artists to be raised up and continue with their journey. who do you think the new ones would be?

jackie chan appeared in more martial arts movie in the western countries if compared to other martial artists.

yeah, i agree that donnie yen is the new age martial artist and became really famous in these recent years. do you realize that he released 3 films in 2008, 3 films in 2009, and expected to release another 4 films in 2010? this means that he will be releasing 10 films in 3 years, can you imagine how famous he is now? he has a very tight schedule for these recent years, and he still can be so strong at the age of 47. i really admire him.

hehe...manny pacquiao is also an actor here in our country! but i just like him in boxing and no more...

in that case, maybe the movie is not international. all the movies from the martial artists i mentioned above, have been translated into english (if their original language is not english). but anyway, if he acts in a movie plainly as a boxer, i don't see people would be attracted in it. even all the martial artists nowadays have mixed up at least a few other types of martial arts to make them look outstanding.

yes, manny pacquiao is a great professional boxer, and of course boxing can be considered as one of a martial art. but i am not taking him in because he is not an actor and he has not bring any of his elements into a movie.

yeah, he is already 56 this year and nearing to the age of retirement. so else would you choose in case you want to watch martial arts movies after jackie chan and sammo hung retired?

Haven't got a clue but i'm sure there are a lot of promising actors who can do the same if not even better.

yeah, i agree with you. other than jet li would be donnie yen who starred in ip man 2 recently.

actually i am talking about martial arts in a whole. yes, tony jaa is from muay thai background but in his films he mixed every other types of martial arts including taekwondo, capoeira, pencak silat, wushu, etc. it is the same like how bruce lee formed his own jeet kun do by combining all the powerful elements (and ignore the weak elements) of every types of martial arts into one. jackie chan mixed a lot of other types of martial art too but because he is also a comedian, he likes to mix a lot of fun/humour parts of martial arts into his movies, which made his movies widely acceptable for all levels of age. jet li is a shaolin disciple where he learnt shaolin kungfu to improve health, uphold justice, self-defence, and helping the weak. there are tens of thousands of kungfu/wushu styles, with several hundred have some relationship with shaolin. and jet li had mastered most of the greatest kungfu/wushu skills. but back to the question, i strongly believe that tony jaa is the greatest martial artist for this 10 years and the coming 10 years, as he is the most well-rounded of all martial art action stars nowadays.

yes, of course, they are great and they are legend, but they are now old and some already retired. going back to the question, i am asking about the greatest martial arts performer for this age not of all-time? donnie yen and tony jaa are really great if you do watch their movies of recent years. they have mixed a lot of aspects/instruments of the modern age into their martial arts movies.
