Yanno, I actually attended a small seminar (like 15 people) put on by Mr. Dux himself when I was a kid. "That would make you Frank Ducks!" Good ol’ Bloodsport.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen Fearless, but will definitely do so when it comes out on video. Good picks, Blood Sport is also one of my favs. I swear, I could probably recite every line in that movie.. "Tanaka.. you don't look like Tanaka." :) Hey Craig.

A lot of them tend to move too slow for my liking. My #2 pick is a Jet Li movie. It's the one where he learns taiji :) @ZMS: Thanks for the background on Sammo Hung :) I never followed the series but it's interesting none-the-less. I'm just awaiting for the movie to arrive :) @IA:

Few years back we had dinner with Sammo Hung and asked him which was his favorite movie. Guess? Some nuggets of info. The late Lam Cheng Ying who played Leung Yee Tai was a real life Wing Chun practitioner. Sammo also learned WC for the movie but jazzed it up to make it looked more dramatic. He demo the bong sau and and he is still fast!!! He also mentioned that during the filming of LA Law he had a wooden dummy installed downstairs so that he could play with it each time he came down. He said someone wanted to test him out and he gave the guy pain with the dummy techniques. If you had been following LA Law you might have noticed that he was showing off WC in the series. Sammo was working on showing taiji in the new season when LA Law was cancelled Why I like Prodigal Son? Few years back we had dinner with Sammo Hung and asked him which was his favorite movie. Guess?

(How can such a list not include any Kirosawa classics?) A list without any Jet Li movies? Check out the Swordsmen trilogy, along with the Once Upon a Time in China Series, also standard classics. (2 other pretty good Jet Li oldies: The Kid from Shaolin, and The Shaolin Temple.)
