| Someone else (rode on my coat tails J/K ;)) did Top 5 Female Martial Artists so let’s get manly.
“Za” overview: There are two things I look for in a martial arts actor and that is presence and screen fighting skills. And that’s it.
Note: Bruce Lee does not make the list ‘because his screen fighting is sloppier than a $10 hooker, diggity dog. Jackie Chan doesn’t either ‘cause his Buster Keiten and Gene Kelly shtick flat-out sucks! Though granted they do great films, I just don’t think they are that great. Sorry.
Honorable mentions:
Jet Li (Fist of Legend, Tai Chi Master): Fast and skilled but lacks screen presence. He looks like a sissy most times.
Yakuaki Kurata (Heroes of the East, Fist of Legend): BAD-ASS JAPANESE MF! UH!
Lo Meng (Cripple Avengers, 5 Venoms): I like him better as an actor because his facial expressions are funny like in Crippled Avengers but he has an awesome look.
Phillip Kwok (Hard Boiled, 5 Venoms): Another bad-ass with excellent acrobatic skills.
Donnie Yen (Iron Monkey): Becoming overrated but still his skill can’t be denied.
Mark Dacascos (Drive): It sucks most the films he has done were abysmal but at least he has “Drive” to his credit.
TOP 5 BEST MALE MARTIAL ARTISTS
5: Lu Feng (Masked Avengers, Magnificent Ruffians): I have a non-homo erotic crush on this guy because he is just so awesome in appearance and his screen fighting is flawless.
4: Gordon Liu (8 Diagram Pole Fighter, 36th Chamber of Shaolin): Definitely a skilled fighter and the only man who can make a monk look freakin’ sweet. GIGGITY!
3: Sammo Hung (Magnificent Butcher): He may be fat, but he’s all that and a bag of potato chips. The fact he is a fat-ass and yet can do flips and perform excellently in his martial skills is just funny and great at the same time.
2: Sonny Chiba (All his karate films): PURE BAD-ASS!!!!!!! THE END! STERIODS!!! ARRRGH!
1: Casanova Wong (The Magnificent, The Master Strikes): This guy should have been the next big thing, NOT JACKIE OR JET LI! This guy’s Tae kwon Do skills are consummate and his screen performances never EVER disappoints.
Well, as I usually say, hope it wasn’t too incoherent!
