Dragon Lee. thread over with
He has a unique style where he shakes his head around while fighting. It just doesn't get better than Dragon Lee.
"For someone who's a Shaolin monk, your kung fu's really lousy!"
"What, you're dead? You die easy!"
"Hold on now. I said I would forget your doings, but I didn't promise to spare your life. Take his head."
“I don’t usually smoke this brand, but I’ll do it for you.”
"When all this is over, Tan Hai Chi, I will kick your head off and put it on my brother's grave!
"I regard hardships as part of my training. I don't need to relax."

That's one of the Bruce Lee clones right?
They're generally pretty cheesy but for one-shot performances Dennis Rodman and Kareem Abdul Jabbar have to rank up there. And what about Ernie Reyes jr? And although I like Jackie, I'd be dishonest if I didn't say he has made some clunkers. I don't think that would rank him in the list of cheesiest martial arts movie stars but if you take away the good stuff he'd be in there.

Dragon Lee's cheesiness cannot be topped, but there are other good cheesy stars. Robert tai was a horrible actor, and I loved all the stuff he was in. New school cheesiness, I would go with the villain from Bloodmoon. Darren Shalhavi??

There's too many.
Jalal Merhi (the guy in Canada who made bad MA movies with Bolo and Rothrock).
Dragon Lee is way up there. And if you've seen some of his worst stuff, it's cringe-inducing.
Also, Bruce Le (Huang Kin-Lung).

For me it's a toss up between Chuck Norris & David Carradine. Although I have to admit Jalal Merhi could outclass them both potentially in the Cheesy category.

Jalal Mehri does get me to crack up just by listening to his voice.
Bruce Liang's performance in The Fists, the Kicks, and the Evils is awesome. He seriously puts on the greatest and worst acting performance ever.

Greetings,
I see you that waited until February was over to trash the brothers. Shame on you.
Actually, Kareem Abdul Jabbar's performance against Bruce Lee was not bad at all. He was the ONLY screen opponent who matched Bruce Lee in terms of athletism. I saw two superbly conditioned athletes putting on a good show. You should watch the Warrior's Journey for a better showcase of the choreography.
I agree with you on Rodman, though.

lonewolf:
You mean Johnny Yune? Those movies were awful.
How about Chan Lau as the "mad dog" in The Dragon, The Hero", a.k.a., Dragon on Fire. He steals the whole movie, and when they have him fighting Dragon Lee, it's doubly hilarious.
Chang Yi-Tao (no relation to Chang Yi) as one of 3 Bruce Lee imitators in Enter Three Dragons. He walks around with a Bruce Lee scowl permanently stuck on his face.
I have to agree with Cynthia Rothrock, esp. in her American movies. China O'Brien is bad, but I think there were worse ones later on. Her acting makes Chuck Norris seem like Academy Award material. (actually, I kinda liked Chuck, just not his movies).

One man we can't forget is Bruce Leroy himself, Taimak. That has to be one of the cheesiest roles out there.

Without ME its just AWESO
i personally felt that van damme ended up making a lot of cheesy movies as did steven segal but they themselves aren't the cheesiest performers. i think i will cast my vote with ernie reyes junior. he only played one part well and thats bc you couldnt tell it was him. i am, of course, talking about teenage mutant ninja turtles. i love that movie. i think i am going to go buy it on my lunch break.

what about billy blanks!
A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

I would have to say Elton Chong.
Some of his movies are decent but most suck.
