Member Endsang Posted August 18, 2008 Member Share Posted August 18, 2008 plus the female ace kicker in Five Superfighters That would be Wong Mei Mei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted August 18, 2008 Member Share Posted August 18, 2008 Bruce Liang's brother that played her student was a great kicker too, it's a shame he never really got enough roles that showcased his talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted August 19, 2008 Member Share Posted August 19, 2008 That's true, but he did do well as an action choreographer. I thought Tony Leung Siu-Hung did some excellent work in Five Superfighters, his cameo in Duel of the Seven Tigers (against Sharon Yeung Pan-Pan), The 36 Crazy Fists, and he did get his butt kicked by Sammo in Enter the Fat Dragon for playing a Bruce Lee clone?!

Member AlbertV Posted August 19, 2008 Member Share Posted August 19, 2008 Another female badass kicker in my opinion is Linda Lin Ying. She played Jackie Chan's auntie in Drunken Master. She was amazingly flexible and her fight against Hwang Jang-Lee in Lackey and the Lady Tiger was pretty wicked IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgSleCGO4UQ&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgSleCGO4UQ&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was amazingly flexible and her fight against Hwang Jang-Lee in Lackey and the Lady Tiger was pretty wicked IMO: KgSleCGO4UQ&feature=related She is awesome!! I need to see Lackey and the Lady Tiger. One guy I don't think has been mentioned is Cheung Lik. He delivers good kicks in pretty much every movie I see him in. And that guy he fights at the end of 10 Magnificent Killers is good too. The only other movie I have seen him in was Four Shaolin Challengers where he plays one of the villain's 4 hired fighters. Not nearly as good of a role as he had in 10 Magnificent Killers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted August 20, 2008 Member Share Posted August 20, 2008 I agree, Cheung Nik was throwing some nifty chain roundhouse kicks in the finale of 10MK, the dude he fought was a nice kicker too and it's a shame he wasn't in more films showing his boot skills off. Nik's role in that film was of an anti-hero and he was very amoral and dubious, he and his teacher were all about collecting the money on the bounties of their opponents. Watching them take on the 10 killers was pretty good and then had the twist ending. Actor Fong Yeh directed this with all the action shot outdoors and you can spot some telophone poles in the background of what is supposed to be ancient China, I think Fong was trained in Muay Thai. Bolo does his lookway style in this and his dubbed English voice makes him sound like he's got a potatoe stuck in his throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted August 21, 2008 Member Share Posted August 21, 2008 Good thoughts Chinatown Kid! You know I love this movie. What do you think, is it your favorite role from Cheung Lik? I can't think of a better one, though I have not seen SUper Kung Fu Kid. I've heard that is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Morgoth I believe this film features Cheung at his best, the fights in this flick were pretty fast paced. I've seen Super Kung Fu Kid and it's not as good imo, more along the lines of The Big Risk and Japanese Connection with the more basher style kind of fights. I do feel Lik always delivered a decent fighting performance in his roles and think he's one of the underated guys in the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ekisha Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hey,kf fans.I'm sorry for offtop,but i began to argue on other forums about kickers.What do you think about this question??Who is better kicker Yuen Biao or Jackie Chan???I bet Biao,but i can't prove anything because my limited english on't let me do it.I compared their all kicks and from what i see Biao is better(in my opinion).I know Jackie is also good but not that great. ________ SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION FORUMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Endsang Posted August 22, 2008 Member Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yuen Biao is definately more flexible and versatile when it comes to the kicks. Considering his tae kwon do training and how to combine his kicks with astonishing acrobatics, I'd say he's the better kicker. Jackie Chan's kicks do look a bit more powerful though, and are executed more realistically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted August 22, 2008 Member Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yuen's got better form and is more versatile with his kicks, his kicks in Knockabout rival Tan Tao Liang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Endsang Posted August 22, 2008 Member Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yuen's got better form and is more versatile with his kicks, his kicks in Knockabout rival Tan Tao Liang. As you probably know, Yuen Biao learned from him so his kicks SHOULD be the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WalkOn Posted August 23, 2008 Member Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'm a huge fan of the kickers. Here's my list. I'm sure I left out a few. lmk who should be on. Alexander Lo Rei Angela Mao Benny Chan Benny Urquidez Billy Blanks Billy Chong Billy Chow Blackie Ko Sho Liang Bong Soo Han Brad Allen Bruce Lee Bruce Liang Carl Scott Casanova Wong Chan Shang Chuck Jeffreys Collin Chou Cynthia Rothrock Daniel Bernhardt Dick Wei Donnie Yen Ernie Reyes, Jr. Ernie Reyes, Sr Fan Siu Wong Gary Daniels George Chung Han Ying Hector Echavarria Hiroyuki Sanada Hsian Kuang Li James Lew Jerry Trimble, Jr. Jhoon Rhee Jing Wu John Liu Chung Liang John Salvetti Kane Kosugi Karen Shepherd Keith Hirabayashi Keith Vitali Ken Lo Kim Won Jin Kwan Young Moon Loren Avedon Mark Dacascos Micheal Blanks Michelle Yeoh/Khan Nik Cheung Olivier Gruner Peter Cunningham Philip Rhee Ron Van Clief Simon Rhee Sun Chien Tan Tao Liang Tiger Yang Tony Jaa Tony Leung Siu Hung Tung Wei Van Damme Wang Jang Lee Whang Ing Sik Yasuaki Kurata Yuen Biao Yukari Oshima Kwok Choi, no dissrespect, but as much as Kao Fei (Philip Ko) is a top ten all time kung fu actor favorite of mine, I don't see him as a good kicker! What movie or sceen of his would you define as a super kicking moment? I like rest of your list. Wang Tao doesn't get credit for his kicks. He's one of the more balanced (hands, feet =) screen fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted August 23, 2008 Member Share Posted August 23, 2008 Very nice list! I agree with the previous poster Kwok Choi that Phillip Ko can kick pretty good when he wants to. Duel of the 7 Tigers, Iron Dragon Strikes Back and Fearless Dragons come to mind. The thing with Phillip Ko is that kicking just doesn't fit into the unique style of fighting that you usually see him performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WalkOn Posted August 23, 2008 Member Share Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks for the info, Morgoth. You make a good point. Although he was doubled in Fearless Dragons (2 on the Road) for his best kicking moment in that film. I was so disapppointed when I realized it wasn't him kicking against Leung Kar Yan in the the bedroom fight for gold coins. Philip Ko has a great presence on film. He can kick well, but I just didn't think of him as a "Super Kicker". Again, he's one of my favorites. All good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted August 24, 2008 Member Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'm also impressed with Britkicker Mike Lambert. I love his short fight against Jet Li in Black Mask and their rematch in Unleashed. The way he switches legs and I saw a demo reel of his where he pulled off a nicely executed triple kick like Jackie Chan did in City Hunter against Richard Norton. He did a lot of HK films in the 90's and recently worked as the fight choreographer of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I also like J.J. Perry, yes THAT J.J. Perry. If you want to see some of his best fighting work in front of the cameras, he played one of the Kumite fighters in Bloodsport 3. I was impressed with his kicking skills in his first fight of the movie. And with his resume as fight choreographer, in the immortal words of Stan Lee..."'Nuff Said" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted August 24, 2008 Member Share Posted August 24, 2008 Who was that guy that Jackie fought on the roof in Who Am I? He had some really nice flexible kicks, from what I heard he had some trouble with Jackie's style of choreography though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted August 24, 2008 Member Share Posted August 24, 2008 That's Ron Smoorenburg from Holland. He did have trouble with Jackie's choreography. If you can get your hands on it, see Jackie Chan: My Stunts. It's shown!!! He was doubled by Andy Cheng and Nicky Li in the film. He currently is working in Thailand. He was in Tom Yum Goong and is supposed to be the lead baddie in Michael B's The Sanctuary, formerly known as Dead End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WalkOn Posted August 24, 2008 Member Share Posted August 24, 2008 I thought Ron was doubled by Brad Allen in Who Am I? I have My Stunts and My Story. Great documentaries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsui Jing-Yat has been mentioned...I thought he was great as Eagle Han's henchman in Shaolin Drunken Monk and Agnes Aurelio's hitman in License to Steal.

Member Kwok Choi Posted August 24, 2008 Member Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks Morgoth and Kao Fei also kicks well in the low budget modern day actioners he produced and he is fantastic in Mercenaries From Hong Kong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WalkOn Posted August 24, 2008 Member Share Posted August 24, 2008 I never saw his work from the Philippines nor Mercenaries From Hong Kong. I'll check them out, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
