Are these 2 really good martial artists?

Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh

Michele Yeoh I believe is a trained martial artist and actress. Chow Yun-Fat is not- he is an action star, like Mel Gibson.

He had an interview on the "Crouching Tiger" dvd when he told of going to martial art camp to learn his moves for the movie, and he had a hard time because he was concentrating so much on the moves ha forgot to act! He'd be counting instead "one, two, hit..."

He sure looked good didn't he?

Yeoh is not a martial artist either, she does everything by wire. She's never had formal training, except maybe some wushu for the movies.

it depends on what you consider a martial artist.. movie martial arts and what most of us practice tend to be a litle diffrent.

[Angus]

No, she doesn't, but she's going to play her in an upcoming movie.

jet li is cool but he uses guns too much and too mkuch special effects thats why i prefer chan and of course chan keeps it light

[Angus]

Li is definitely good. He won many gold mdeals when he was young and throughout his teens in national/world wushu competitions.

The movie was out years ago. They're just re-releasing it, like they did Jackie Chan's movies. Sometimes with a new title.

Ah, cool, thanks. I couldn't remember if it was coming out or already out and coming here because I've heard heard about it once. Have you seen the chinese version?
