I have taken in your opinions and have compiled a new list. Sorry to make rules, but you do have to vote for moon
And be sure to include your own favorites, say B. Lin, and Lily Li to think of a couple more

By looking at the responses so far you can tell that there is absolutely no asian fetish present in these forums. Zero.
I voted for Ziyi by the way.

chum kil very sorry about mao ying. She should have been first. A definite FIGHTER!!!! So she is definitely a choice if anybody wants to write that in instead. I didn't include pei-pei cause she is too old school. that is pretty much where it started. But I am a disgrace for leaving out the deadly china doll.
also-I will be sure to tally them up if a bunch of Ms. Hapkido's votes come in.

Gotta say Michelle. My first Gong Fu crush was on Michelle Yeoh when I saw her star next to Jackie Chan in... something, can't remember what now. A few years later she became a bond girl and the resulting "centerfold" that Kung Fu Magazine produced from that movie graced my wall for years until it was torn down in a Gong Fu related accident... One that left a 1 meter wide hole in the same wall...
Also Michelle Yeoh may not be as cute as some of the girls on the list but she is a serious stunt woman and the things she has gone through for her movies put her into a league occupied by very few people.

The only thing is women can't fight like they do in the movies. It's not realistic the way they portray them.
I have to say my least favorite, though, was Uma Thurman because her sword work was totally bogus. She should have had at least 3 years more training to begin to make it look semi-realistic.

If this thread was on worst performance in fight coreography it would look like a whose who of kill bill.
#1 Uma: Gawky and uncoordinated, doesn't seem to know how to hold a sword let alone wield it.
#2 Lucy Liu: No good.
#3 The woman in the knife fight at the beginning of the movie... I think her last name is Foxx: Also uncoordinated though not as bad as Uma.

sage with a slight flaw
SimonM,
I'm with you on the girls in Kill Bill looking very awkward in many of the fight scenes -- the movie still had a great style and flair, but that did hamper it. And while we are on Lucy Liu, I have to say that she was much more convincing in the Charlie's Angels movies than either Cameron Diaz or Drew Barrymore. I thought Kate Beckinsale looked really clumsy at times in Van Helsing as well. I know that all of these actresses did training before the movies and worked hard to make it more convincing, but you can only do so much in a short amount of time.
Since I brought up Charlie's Angels, I nominate Karen Mok for her performance in Corey Yuen's version of Angels -- "So Close". In my opinion, she stole the show from both Shu Qi and Vicky Zhao in that one. I also loved her as Turkey in Stephen Chow's "The God of Cookery" and Jet Li's "Black Mask" -- she is a stunning beauty who seems to really pull off the whole "ugly duckling" character (thanks to the wonders of movie makeup).

I loved uma. a little lanky, but was good enough to perform what the the movie required.
#2 Lucy Liu: No good.
Agreed, but HELLA HOT!!!!!!!!

Even hotter is vivica fox, but that was a great fight. It's chicks fighting man, you are not going to see perfect form.
Li kao-is chinese charlie's angels any good. And that reminds me, I left off the hottest one around today, CHRISTY CHUNG!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree. Also, Michelle brings a sort of serious steadfastness to her characters that I find sexy.

I have to go with Zhang Ziyi even if her training is in dancing and not martial arts. but if i had to pick who i'd like to see her fight it would be gong li (even though, to the best of my knowledge she has no fighting experience theatrical or otherwise). i don't even care who wins i just want to see them fight. in a mud, or jello pit. thats all i have to say about that.

yeah, it is hard to tell if they can actually fight. Stupidly, I didn't put the great Angela Mao Ying on there, but I just go by who looks the best. Yeoh working with woo-ping and jackie really helps. And speaking of looking the best, yeoh would easily beat out teh others up there in terms of looks.
