Its a good list, but you're missing Wesley Snipes - *that* guy can boogie.
Sorry not to fond of him, I put people on my list that had a major impact on martial art movies, Snipes is just ok.

Jet Li...Personally i think his best performance acting/martial arts was in "Lethal Weapon 4" he was so cool in that.I will never forget that move he did when he ripped the top of Mel Gibsons handgun clean of with his hand...so cool...

But he and Bruce Lee would be at the top of my list for sure.:supcool:

Chow Yun Fat does not do martial arts correct?

what about dulph lungren? (spelling)
He is a blackbelt in Shotokan Karate but I don't think any of his movies were very groundbreaking, just doesn't appeal to me.

I AM beginning to wonder here. A while back there was a thread about great guitarist. Somebody said something and then I added to the (growing) list because of that.
Now with the (recent) listings it's really beginning to make me wonder. Are male martial artists sexist bastards?? Of all the ones listed not ONE female. "Things that make you go Hmmmm" as Arsenio would say.
Ok so here's mine. And no, I'm not sucking up to the ladies on this forum. Just giving respect where it's equally due.

1) Michelle Yeoh
2) Cynthia Rothrock
3) Zhang Ziyi (c'mon guys can you honestly say ya'll forgot HER? :fanboy: )
4) Carrie Anne Moss (Matrix chick)
5) Cheng Pei Pei (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)
6) Lucy Liu (yes she is a MA)
7) Bridgett Lin (Swordsman II -- with Jet Li)
8) Nora Miao (Chinese Connection -- with Bruce Lee)

uhh, that's about all I could come up with right now :rolleyes: . Found most of these from memory and imdb.com
