I agree with CGY. I like Jackie Chan. Doing some crazy thing (never work with stuntman) and also i like natural kungfu fighter with no effect on it just like bruce lee did before.

I just saw Ong Bak, and Tony Jaa is awesome. surprised that Bruce Lee didn't make the list though

i like zhang ziyi. then, i also have to wonder how many people actually know who she is. she's a great martial artist though.

Jet Li and Jackie Chan are the only ones ive seen and from that i voted Jet Li but Jackie Chan would also get my vote if i could vote 2 times Wink

I picked Jet Li cuz of his performance in Hero, but yeah, I'm surprised that Bruce Lee aint there....

Everway · Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2005 8:34 am Post subject:

Jackie Chan is the best kung fu fighter

quosimos · Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2005 9:27 am Post subject:

out of the options id choose Jackie Chan cause drunken fighting is the shit Razz

also cause he adds comedy to his fights. cant stand Jet Li.

WeeBey · Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2005 11:21 am Post subject:

I didn't put Bruce Lee because I'm not a big fan. He doesn't do enough combos and his enemies are always losers who he beats up easily. And he's annoying with all that whhaaataa! crap.
