Where does Tony Jaa rank among the all time action stars? Has he surpassed Van Damme?
>>
no ricecel manlet ranks at all
>>
Ong Bak 1 was good. 2+3 were tedious.
>>
For me, it's Donnie Yen in Ip Man.
>>
>>218218022
Does Donnie Yen have any good movies outside of Ip Man? They are great, but the few movies I've seen of him outside of Ip Man have been kind of awful.

I love the lack of labor laws in Thai cinema. Like old Hong Kong movies
>>
>>218218066
Iron Monkey is the only one with him as a lead that comes to mind as being worth watching.

The Jet Li movies he fights in are usually pretty good though. Hero and Once Upon a Time in China II, in particular.

hes got cooler fights than van damme but he doesnt have the cool factor

>>218218000
imagine thinking jackie chan doesnt rank among the greatest action stars
>>
>>218218330
I was watching one of his more recent movies and yeah he kind of just looks like a dude. The story reminded me of those straight to VHS/DVD movies Seagal did in the 90's/early 00's but the action felt was fun though a bit repetitive with just mobs of machete people just running at him over and over and over and over.
>>
>>218217982
He was never in a single good movie so pretty fucking low
>>
>>218218066
Donnie Yen has made an impressive amount of unwatchable slop

Maybe I should have started lower with Seagal.
>>
>>218217982
>Has he surpassed Van Damme?
No, and never will. For two reasons
1: He's not cool enough. Van Damme was a horrible actor, but he had the charisma.
2: We're no longer in the 90's, it's not just about cool fights, it's about the music, the villains, the cool concepts, the iconic scenes and the perfect balance between cheesy and serious.
>>
>>218218870
In defense of Seagal, with the exception of "On deadly ground" all his movies up to "Under siege 2" or "Executive decision" are surprisingly good.
>>
>>218219156
My memory of him might be clouded by all his later stuff. I watched a marathon of his on cable a while ago and it was just "you kidnapped my wife" but with different actresses back to back to back.

Jaa doesn't have anything as good as this

>>218218115
It sure as fuck was.
>>
>>218217982
Don't search how he looks now
>>
>>218219260
Well, Liam neeson build his career on people kidnapping his daughter.
>>
>>218219346
I saw him in Strike Rescue or whatever it was called. He looks shorter and fatter than Ong Bak.
>>
Uh Tony Jaa has been battling stage 3 gallbladder cancer, you faggy faggots.

>>218217982
The two manlets from The Raid mog him

He is more of a stunt man then actor. Zero range and badly delivered lines.
>>
>>218220963
that one when they fight in the kitchen is great.
>>
>>218218066
Sha Po Laang (SPL) and Flashpoint are absolutely GOAT-ed. People ith don't know shit.

Also Chasing the Dragon which is relatively new and Dragon (2011) are great.
>>
>>218218022
ip man is gay chinkslop
>>
>>218218066
I liked Flashpoint and SPL. Also Wu Xia(Dragon) and Bodyguards and Assassins. I think he's a better actor than his contemporaries.

>badly delivered lines
