    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    Talking Tale of two Lee/Li

    Well, it's too bad that Jet Li was into MA for the money. He could have done a lot of great for the CMA community. But it's not meant to be. So he really isn't "The One" (pun intended) after all.

    Both Bruce and Jet knew that movie business is just a phase. There is nothing wrong with that. Bruce would have built more Kung Fu capital (ie JKD improvement) if he had the chance. He's is still the immortal with what he have done. Jet, well, he is not into it period. It's a shame that he waste his talent. But then he got a hot wife and a stable family out of it. Hey, that ain't too bad.

    PS I love "Fist of Legend" and I think Jet Li should be remembered for that at least!

    Mantis,

    I'm not sure I understand what your saying. How did he waste his talent? ("Cradle 2 Grave" not withstanding). If he was in MA for the money he could have stayed in China and churned out Wong Fei Hong or Shaolin movies to the end of time.

    Thumbs up

    Jackie Chan likes to bring laughters to the audience.

    There are a lot of fighting and stunts in his movies.

    And yet, he considers himself a comedian. Even though, there are serious movies as in the most recent Police story.

    Police stories made him famous in south east Asia and then the world.

    Jet Li was a Wushu champ at 13.

    His first movie about Shaolin temple was about fighting. He has a big smile.

    If he decided to quit, it is his personal choice.

    Hollywood will look for the next Kung Fu action star. Such as Donnie Yet and all.

    Can't say I'm sorry. The quality of Jet's latest movies (fighting scene vise) has been average at best. I still enjoy seeing Jackie though even if he can't go at it like he used to.
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.
