the scene in Drunken Master where Jackie Chan picks up the seat/bench is still the best fight scene i can remember, humor and technique!

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21If we're talking Jet Li's oeuvre, then I'd suggest "Fist of Legend" which is a far less melodramatic than "Fearless" (even though both actually follow the same folklore and characters). I found the latter a soggy mess of schmatlz whereas "Fist of Legend" was - apart from excellent fight scenes - genuinely humorous. b, 21b, 21This is to say nothing of the "Once Upon a Time In China" series but I still find "Fist of Legend" to be the better intro movie for beginners who have no idea who Wong Fei Hong is.

I loved Fearless. I don't know what it was that got me so amped about it, but I saw it in the theater, watched the DVD a million times. I have the TV series but haven't checked it out yet. My favorite Jet Li film is Shaolin Temple because of the mainland vibe. I lend that to people who don't know li outside of his american films.

I have a real soft spot for the Fong Sai Yuk films though - some of the funniest martial arts I've ever seen.
