i guess you're right. in 'marked for death' steven seagal managed to smuggle a battalion's worth of weapons to jamaica! as anthony hopkins says to tom cruise ' this is mission impossible, mission difficult should be a walk in the park!

steven seagal ... somehow never got to like him ... just too expressionless for me ... fights martial arts as if he is having lunch on the beach ..

if you haven't seen Kung Fu Hustle, it's good enough to watch at least once... the Harp-dagger scene was great, IMHO.

yeah, a real legend.
another good one is Jet Li, Jackie Chan isn't bad either.

[ladym]

yes, if you really want to see good kung fu you should definitelly see Jet Li's movies. almost every movie he plays in is wondeful (and i dont even have him in my "favorites" list ), and again a kinda good and funny movie with a bit of martial arts is Shaolin Soccer.... i liked it

i do prefer jet li .. guess his movies r more pure kung fu stuff ..

Stephen Chow does funny Kung FU movie now. In Kung FU hustle, the last scene I think he tried to protray himself more like Bruce Lee....a lot i should say. THe funniest scene to that movie IMHO was when he was "racing/running away" from the old lady

Jet Li is awesome. I still have to watch his Once Upon A Time In China series.

Jackie Chan does good action movies too. I like his Kung Fu mixed with outrageous stunts that has comedy involved too. I think only he can do such things If you haven't seen his New Police Story movie, watch it. It has a very good story and the movie just flows nice

I got my copy of Kung Fu Hustle way before it aired in theaters
There was a box set that the store i go to that was being sold for $100+. It came with movie, the lollipop candy, a Hand Print of Stephen Chow and other stuff....kinda cool but i wouldn't spend $100 on it.

Watching Volcano High right now and will watch MY Boyfriend is Type-B next. Both Korean movies.

dang, that is way too much, $100, not worth it.
but if it was an autography thing of Nana and new photobooks, etc....now that is a different story.

still watching Manami, Kou in Orange Days.....i like it, i like it.
also watched "Kogals" not sure who the girls are in it, interesting Japanese movie, about kogals....

he is funny in his movie, with all those stunts he does, but think his earlier movies, he was more serious in them.
