Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee is the best of the best. No one was as cool and as good as he was, everyone else is just a wanna be Bruce Lee :)

Fists of Fury(1971)
Bruce Lee working in the ice factory while the massa be beating him down. He uncovers some murders of his family and kicks ass for revenge, and goes out with a bang! :)

Chinese Connection(1972)
I love this one. Some good old racial rivery. The Japs be keeping the chinese man down. Won't even let him walk through the park but they let dogs through. This is Chinese Kung Fu vs Japanese Karate and you know who's winning baby. They killed his teacher and he takes on their whole school by himself. Who's the man!

Return of the Dragon(1973)
This is my favorite of all his movies. It just has a comedy appeal to it. That chick in this movie is hot. It's kinda interesting that the movie takes place in rome. Also his main boss is Chuck Norris, Bruce kicks his ass.

Enter the Dragon(1973)
This is the most commercial movie of the bunch. It looks like it was actually shot with a real budget. This movie was really great but the focus of the movie wasn't all Bruce like his others.. They tried to push him to the back of the bus like the Green Hornet. You had to dig that black guys Afro tho :)

There is a new version of this movie out, remastered and so on with a bunch of interviews and stuff. The box for it is irregularly sized which sucks but it's worth buying.

The Game of Death(1977)
I believe this movie was just pieced together with scenes left over from Bruce. If you watch closely, half the movie was with someone pretending he was bruce with big glasses and helmets and so on. If you look closely in one scene they are just holding up a picture of bruce trying to make you think it was really him. They had about 10 mins of bruce scenes and had to make an entire movie around what they had. The fight scenes were pretty awesome, even got Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This movie is some serious deep hurting, I wish I wouldn't have bought it :)

Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan is just my hero. This guy is just so awesome. What I love about him is just how incredibly funny his movies are. Not only do they offer breath taking action and martial arts, but they are just side splittingly funny too. To me he is the replacement for Bruce Lee, and James bond. The acting and stories may suck, but who cares! He has plenty more but I only go by the ones that have been released here or that I've seen...

Jackie wrote a book. It's pretty good and he lists all his movies and says which suck =)

Rumble in the Bronx
This was the first one I saw. The story was kinda lame and I didn't like how that gang like teamed up with him in the end but the fighting was pretty cool for sure.

SuperCop
It was ok. Wasn't the best, still had great fighting and some cool stunts. Of all the movies I've seen so far, I think I liked this one the least.

First Strike
You'll notice in this one, the dubing is really raw and unbelievable as far as the white guys go. But I don't care. That made it all the more funny. The Underwater scene in this movie is just so funny as is most of the movie.

Crime Story
I can't remember anything about it so it must have been ok.

Mr Nice Guy
By far my favorite Jackie Chan movies. This movie was so awesome. This movie was not only hilarious, but it had incredible action and fighting scenes. Sure it was dubed, and the story might not have been the best and some people in that had serious acting problems, but that's not what I care about. I care about it being funny, and having great action which this movie had. This is a movie for men not fag bag wearing flamers. :) (Although I saw some chicks liked it too :)

Who Am I?

The Legend of the Drunken Master
One of his best.

My Lucky Stars

Jet Li

I'm not a big fan of his but Fist of Legend was ok.

Fist of Legend
Bloody awesome fighting. It's a rip off of Chinese Connection. The voice overs are pretty bad but the fighting is worth it.

Hard Boiled

By John Woo. This is probably the best action films I have ever seen. Non stop action for 2+ hours. The action sequences are just so well done and the death count has to be record. The only problem you might find with it is that it's entirely subtitled. If you can let that slide, you'll really like this one. I haven't seen "the Killer" yet, but I hear it's good too..

The Replacement Killers

By John Woo.
I really loved this movie. The story was lame for sure but who cares, the action was incredible. I haven't found "The Killers" yet.

Van Dammn

I generally like his films. I have many of them. I admit he never has made a good movie, but that's something that's kinda endearing about him :) Stay the hell away from Cyborg and Lionheart, but the rest are "OK" I didn't watch double team cuz of Rodman but I've seen all the others..

Chuck Norris

Chucks movies gernally all kinda blow. I wouldn't bother to rent them but TBS and sometimes TNT often run them. Hey if they are on, I don't mind watching them.

American Ninja 1-4

Yet another hey if it's on. These movies are pretty neato, not worth renting, or saving, but I'll watch them when they come on. One didn't have Michael D in there which made it kinda gay (I think it was 3) but the rest were pretty good.
