...at turning skills learned from Chinese theater into halarious movies, like Twin Dragon, and incredible movies like the Shaolin Wooden Men?

Yep.

He's a fantastic actor, singer, an excellent actor, and a damn good martial artist.

Jet Li is a superior martial artist, certainly.

He has to use special effects though, and he's not funny.

He might not be funny...but I am sure Jet Li would kick ***** out of Jackie Chan. Jet Li is much more skilled at actual martial arts fighting rather than silly evasion by Jackie Chan.

Yeah, most of Jackie Chan's skills come from Chinese theater...he does make good movies though.

Jet Li is much more skilled at actual martial arts fighting rather than silly evasion by Jackie Chan.Jet Li is apparently rather good at the martial art form (e.g. kata etc) in which he won loads of medals. No combat or sparring involved - just creating the forms. Whether he is any good in a fight... who knows.


But in answer to the question - YES, probably, JC would get my vote. ;)

Chuck Norris would roundhousekick jet li into the moon giving the moon enough energy to reach escape velocity from our solar system.

Then Chuck would eat a black hole for lunch.

So who's seen 'Unleashed' (aka 'Danny the Dog' in some countries)?

Jet Li, Bob Hoskins, and one of the best films I've seen in a long, long time.

Trust me: Buy it. Rent it. Borrow it. Download it. Watch it.

I like Jackie Chan, but that film knocks any of Jackie's output into a cocked hat. One of the very, very few films I simply had to see twice.

PS It has some (astonishing) martial arts in it but it's by no means a martial arts film. So anyone can watch it.

Jackie Chan in his prime could've beaten Jet Li...but not now..he's old...I mean Jackie does his own stunts and shit....

but Bruce Lee would've beaten the shit out of all of them in his prime...he was an actual fighter...

Steven Segal and Jean Claude van Damme could kick Chuck Norris AND Bruce Lee's asses in a two-on-two tag team caged match, in time for dinner.

Period.

Bruce Lee is better than Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris was Bruce Lee's student. Chuck Norris learned what he now knows for the legendary Bruce Lee. No one ever was or probably will ever be any better without some sort of advanced robotics.

Tony Jaa is monsterously bad ass, but Muay Thai focuses far too much on kicks to be an effective system on its own.

Also, Tony Jaa's movies have one big problem: Their soundtracks suck. Seriously, just revoltingly bad soundtracks. "Ong-Bak" was very cool, but the music was...horrendous.

Bolo in the movie Bloodsport. He was 50 at the age of filming. Looks tough, but looks don't kill. Was also a martial arts student of Bruce Lee.

No. I used to think so, then I saw Kung Fu Hustle (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373074/). Shaolin Soccer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286112/) is ok, too, but Kung Fu Hustle is absolutely hysterical.

i dont think that jackie chan could have ever beaten jet li in his prime, jet li was a master at wu shu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wushu_%28sport%29 and learnt it from the age of eight.
one of my favourite scenes of jet is from fist of legend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtchsn43oc0

They're both wusses. If Norris was half the man people think he is, he'd be roundhouse kicking Li's door and shouting threats through his letterbox... and vice versa.

Who do the panel reckon would win a tag match with Muhammed Ali, Chuck Norris and Vinny Jones on one side and Rocky Marciano, Bruce Lee and Jet Li on the other, and Charles 'not the actor' Bronson? I reckon it would be a draw.
