Member Dravenbran Posted September 28, 2015 Member Share Posted September 28, 2015 Never believed I wouldn't see a single Jet Li thread in a kung fu forum, so I am starting one.Huge Jet Li fan, I love his work, both in films as an actor/martial artist and as a philanthropist, with his One Foundationcharity organization.He is simply the martial artist with a golden heart. For me, he is on the top, he is the greatest.

Member Dravenbran Posted September 28, 2015 Author Member Share Posted September 28, 2015 I love all his American films, apart from Cradle 2 the grave. Romeo is a favourite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted September 30, 2015 Member Share Posted September 30, 2015 I love all his American films, apart from Cradle 2 the grave. Romeo is a favourite.I used to say that of CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE, until I watched the third Mummy film and ROGUE, at which point all was forgiven. ROMEO is one of the films I feel compelled to stop everything I'm doing to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted October 1, 2015 Member Share Posted October 1, 2015 Have to say I don't care for either Romeo Must Die or Cradle 2 The Grave. Both are full of horrible wirework. Ugh. Kiss of the Dragon and Unleashed (Danny the Dog) have some of my favorite fights he's done. And Fist of Legend, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted October 1, 2015 Member Share Posted October 1, 2015 I found the wires in C2TG more natural and less forced than in ROMEO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member John_the_Dreamer Posted October 3, 2015 Member Share Posted October 3, 2015 Another from Fist of Legend. I think this is one of the better directed martial arts films ever, especially in the fight filmography. Perfect for Li's style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member laagi Posted October 4, 2015 Member Share Posted October 4, 2015 Kiss of the Dragon still on top of my list. Simply because the Martial Arts displayed have a very real and rough touch to it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Hei Meigui Posted October 5, 2015 Member Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) You could Always watch Kung Fu Cult Master and then the Shaw Bros Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber films to see how it would've ended. Oh okay so it is the same theme? I have the three films in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber series with Derek Yee. I haven't watched them yet. Thanks for the heads up Doc.I haven't seen him in Ocean Heaven but I like that he really got into the topic of Autism and raised awareness of it as a result of the film.It's funny I don't necessarily think of him as one of my favorite actors but when I look back he has done a lot of films I like. I especially liked the Sorcerer and the White Snake. And I did like Fong Sai Yuk series. How could I forget this this is one of my all time favorite fight scenes it is just so beautiful especially with the music, The fight scene with him and Donnie Yen in Hero..

Member DiP Posted October 6, 2015 Member Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) It's a shame he hasn't been up to par lately with the the crap he's churning out. But whenever I go back to his 1986-2006 era, I'm quickly being reminded of how I got into his films in the first place.

Member Iron_Leopard Posted December 9, 2015 Member Share Posted December 9, 2015 Big Jet Li fan. I think he won the 90's over Jackie Chan. I've noticed that I prefer Li in period martial arts films and Chan in modern day martial arts films. Didn't care to much for "Bodyguard from Bejing" and "My Father is a Hero". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted December 15, 2015 Member Share Posted December 15, 2015 A couple of questions: does anyone know of an interview where Jet Li talks about filming Born to Defense? Also is there an interview of him discussing apologizing to Jackie Chan for High Risk? I seem to remember one, but I cannot find anything in my notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted December 28, 2017 Member Share Posted December 28, 2017 Did anyone here ever see the Extended Version of Danny the Dog/Unleashed? If so, does the extra fight time make much of a difference in the overall quality of the film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont own the Extended version, but my copy has the full length fight scenes in the Special Features section. Not got round to watching those yet, there on a long list of extra's I need to catch up on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DrNgor Posted January 3, 2018 Member Share Posted January 3, 2018 1 hour ago, DragonClaws said: When Donnie Yen met Jet Li. I still remember the Kung Fu Cinema interview where Donnie Yen states that Jet Li told Zhang Yimou that if he wanted to the best fight of all time for that movie, he needed to bring in Donnie Yen. Which means that he felt Donnie was more talented than Zhao Wenzhuo (who fought him once in FONG SAI YUK) and Chin Siu-Ho (who fought him twice in FIST OF LEGEND and TAI CHI MASTER), and they had only done one film together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted January 4, 2018 Member Share Posted January 4, 2018 There's utmost respect between the two for sure, no wonder Jet Li felt that Donnie was needed for Hero and that Donnie has stated that Jet is his favorite among all martial arts actors he has worked with in his entire career. As for Vincent Zhao, Corey Yuen (I think it was on the Dragon Dynasty DVD) has actually stated on record that Vincent Zhao was arrogant on the set of Fong Sai Yuk which may imply that there's was kind of a feud between him and Jet Li and why them both never worked together again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Jet Li's case he has a serious illness as we all know. My mum has suffered from Thyroid trouble for years, and had her's removedcompletely. It can kick the living shit out of you, and there's no wonder he doesnt look like he did in his thirtys. He does look older, but then none of us getting any younger. The man next to him has his hand on Jet, which makes him look frailer. Much respect for Jet Li, there's many people who wouldnt even want to be photogrpahed while their ill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted May 24, 2018 Member Share Posted May 24, 2018 Jet Li's manager Steve Chasman said that Jet is actually in good health and the photo from the weekend just showed him in an unflattering light. Li posted a video that was on SCMP earlier today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNioB80Al60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
