Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted October 23, 2009 Member Share Posted October 23, 2009 also Shaolin Mantis in case you haven't seen it... those 3 movies Chiang does pretty good. The choreographers must have beat him with a stick or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CDiablo Posted October 27, 2009 Member Share Posted October 27, 2009 Im going to get burned and say Sonny Chiba. Ive seen a few of his movies and the martial arts in it are slow and seem very scripted. He plays the super bad ass in every movie but most every main kung fu actor out there seems more agile and talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted October 27, 2009 Moderator Share Posted October 27, 2009 Im going to get burned and say Sonny Chiba. Ive seen a few of his movies and the martial arts in it are slow and seem very scripted. He plays the super bad ass in every movie but most every main kung fu actor out there seems more agile and talented. Sonny Chiba practices karate though, not kung-fu, which is swift and brutal. Granted kung-fu has a certain fluidity that transfers to the screen well, but Sonny Chiba was the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted October 28, 2009 Member Share Posted October 28, 2009 Sonny Chiba himself is awesome, but a fair few of the films featuring him and Etsuko Shinomi were filmed by someone who decided the camera should flip around by 180 every time a fight started. A lot of those Toei karate flicks are quite poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted October 30, 2009 Member Share Posted October 30, 2009 Haven't seen those. Just going by what I've seen him in. I'll check those out, though. I actually bought both "The Loot" and "The Challenger" last week. "The Loot" has some of the best choreography I have ever seen in my life. I did, however, notice that, at times, Chiang is sloppy. It more often occurs in which he faces multiple enemies but sometimes he really does underwhelming in terms of skill. It only happens a few times though and the rest of the film is scorching.

Member hollowfist90 Posted November 5, 2009 Member Share Posted November 5, 2009 Bruce Lee IS the most overrated kung fu actor. but thats because he basically brought kung fu to america he was and still is the face of kung fu. but of course anyone who knows anything about kung fu films doesnt even think of bruce or his films when asked whats your top ten kung fu fliccs of all time. i think bruce could have been the greatest fighter of all time if there was a UFC bacc then. he would have destroyed the competition but his movies werent all that great in my opinion. i still loved him though, only the good die young, RIP bruce!! o yea hwang jang lee is not over rated by any means he is probably the best boot master to hit the screen...seriously, who can mess with him cassanova wong? who else? dorain tan? thats about it...

Member Soda Drink Posted November 12, 2009 Member Share Posted November 12, 2009 As the past becomes more distant, memories fade, and sometimes the appreciation does as well. Sad but oh so true. Now people are starting to question Jackie Chan's actual contributions now that Tony Jaa has come around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yi-Long Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Sad but oh so true. Now people are starting to question Jackie Chan's actual contributions now that Tony Jaa has come around. Not sure if that's because of Tony Jaa, or because Jackie hasn't done anything remarkable in the last 15 years orso. I think pretty much everyone knows the contribution Jackie and his 'brothers' have made to HK action cinema, except perhaps the new and younger generation who only know Jackie from his post-'95 movies, and maybe only seen a couple of his old dubbed flicks.

Member Mark of the Dragon Posted November 16, 2009 Member Share Posted November 16, 2009 Conan Lee...thank god he didn't last long. Granted Ninja in the Dragon's Den was awesome, but that was only due to Hwang Jang Lee and Hiroyuki Sanada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
