What is your favorite Jet Li movie? (films, theater, scenes)

[Glitterific]

I am huge Jet Li fan. Yes, I know he is not the best or the greatest. I'm no martial arts expert, I just enjoy his films.

Tell me which you liked the best so I can add them to my viewing list. I know I haven't seen everything....

I have seen:


Hero- I just love that movie and the whole cast.

War- I was excited to see him and Jason Statham (yummmm) but I didn't love it.

The One- Mindless entertainment, but I like the movie.

Unleashed (Danny the Dog)- He stepped out of his element, and I like the movie but it is too depressing for me to watch repeatedly.

Fearless- I liked this, but the ending made me sad.

Black Mask- Sue me, I liked this. So bad it was good!

Romeo Must Die- Misuse of his talent, but the interracial aspect was cool, even though the writers didn't take it there.

Cradle to the grave- I'll pass, I don't want to see any movie with DMX.

Kiss of the Dragon- I liked the fight scenes, didn't like the rest of the movie.

1. Hero
2. Fist Of Legend
3. The Tai Chi Master aka Twin Warriors
4. Fearless
5. New Legend of Shaolin
6. One Upon A Time in China series

You gotta see Fist of Legend!!!! That's my favorite, followed by Fearless then Hero I guess.

I love/like all of his movies though.

I don't have a favourite.

Let's just say his acrobatics are my favourite, irrespective of the movie.

The only movie which sucked should be that mummy thing.

Yeah I didn't like him in The Mummy at all!

Kiss of the Dragon was on FX the same day I started this thread, I didn't even know it was coming on.

I'll bump Fist of Legend to the top of my watch list.

Yes thats probably my favourite also!!!! (I have it recorded from DirecTV)

The Warlords was my favorite Jet Li movie. I hated almost all of his western movies.

Hero. The original, NOT the awful English dubbed version.

Was there more than one? Or do you mean you watch it in the original language? If so, I do that too. I don't mind subtitles at all.

I remember going to see it in the theater with friends, some people loudly vented their frustration for all to hear about the subtitles. It's such a beautiful film, the music, the colors.
