Great Moments in Film #2

// June 20th, 2009 // Great Moments in Film

If you have to ask who is better, Jet Li or Jackie Chan, than you haven’t seen a Jet Li movie. Jet Li is a better martial artist, better actor, and is in better movies. For me, there is no competition. Hero, Fearless, and Unleashed are all better than anything Jackie Chan has done. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with Jackie Chan. But if you want to see a good martial arts movie that actually has a good story, pick up one of the aforementioned Jet Li films.

This scene is from Jet Li’s Fearless. Fearless is a true story about Huo Yuan Jia, one of the most respected Chinese masters in their history, and the founder of the Jin Wu Sports Federation. This scene takes place after one of his students is badly wounded by his nemesis Mister Chin. This isn’t necessarily the best “fight scene” in the movie, but it is my favorite. I guess the best is highly debatable, considering that they are all amazing. Anyway, check this scene out. I love it.
