i am a big jet li fan, but there are a lot of his older movies i've never seen, the shaolin temple movies are some i've never seen and you're right, shaolin temple was his film debut, he was like 18-19 years old at the time. my all time fav jet li movie is Fist of Legend. part of the reason why is because i'm an even bigger bruce lee fan. Fist of Legend is kind of like jet's version of Fist of Fury, I was always under the impression it wasn't a remake but wikipedia says it is (Fist of Fury is formerly known as Chinese Connection). it's weird, Fists (with an "s") of Fury is aka The Big Boss in the US title. Anyways, a remake (if that's what it really is) like Fist of Legend is the only way i'd be ok with a bruce lee remake. Other than Fist of Legend, I'm a huge fan of the OUATIC movies. I love Jet Li's movies that are deeply phylisophical-based. His movies where they take place in the old days are my favorite kinds of martial arts movies. (fong sai yuk, shaolin temple, once upon a time in china, thai chi master, swordman) The older movies like Kid with Golden Arm and the gordon liu's are a bit before my time although I still enjoy them too. but my real love of kung fu movies are the ones from the 80's-90's. for movies made in the 2000's, Ip Man is at the top of that pyramid
btw, one of my fav quotes from Jet Li
I never say to myself I'm the best fighter in the world. If someone learns martial arts solely to pick fights on the street, to lean on it as a keystone weapon in conflicts, to use it to bully and intimidate others – then that person, in my opinion, cannot be considered a true martial artist.
so how you like it so far, i wanna see if you are as excited about netflix as i was. check in with us after you've seen ip man 1 and 2
you mean the one with jet li and the other guy from fist of legend?
it's one of my fav jet li movies. dope display of tai chi stuff
have you seen fong sai yuk or swordsman? the only thing with jet li is that they use a lot of the wire fu stuff especially in his older china day type movies. but for me, i don't mind it much because it's all done right and you still have to be incredibly talented to pull off what they do

I'm really enjoying netflix guys.Don't know why I took so long to join.I'm going to watch Ip Man later but have you guys seen The Warlords yet?...It stars Jet Li and it is a period piece set in feudal times.
oh shizzle, it just dawned on me that sumo finally (dude lives in the stone age for real) got netflix and is prob watching a ton of kung fu movies now. he's probably a certified martial art expert now based on the hours he's put in watching film
^ seriously, until last year's black friday, i still had my 2 in 1 vhs/dvd player hooked up to my tv, haha
martial arts expert? i'm asian dude,............... man, I'll just let you watch this, it explains it all

what?? that was lame. you have to log onto youtube to watch it. i have no idea why, it's not explicit or anything. let's see if this works. this one is the same as above, but it's shorter and left out a couple of funny things

I haven't watched the movie yet, but I'm really looking foward to seeing Jet in action. There are soo many movies I want to see. Right now I'm making my way thru Gordon Liu/ Lau Kar Leung movies and it's getting better and better. They have just added Lung Wei to the cast and this guy is bad! Not sure if you know who the guy is, I bet Krichardson would recognize him, previous to these LKL movies he did all his films with Chang Cheh. It's soo important to have great martial artists work together, it makes all the difference in the world to me, but his scenes with Gordon and LKL are spectacular. I have My Young Auntie on order now, this is the end fight from that movie.
