If you've ever seen the Jackie Chan live adaptation of the City Hunter manga comic, you probably already knew what you were going to see when you clicked on this thread. I remember watching City Hunter years ago, when I went through a phase of watching Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee type movies. What started off as a fairly normal action movie (albeit one with an interesting backstory involving Jet Li - look it up). Interesting side discussion - Jet Li vs Jackie Chan - who would win? Anyway, like I said, what started out normal suddenly turns downright surreal when Jackie gets thrown through a Street Fighter arcade machine. If you've never seen this.. well, as Bart says, "prepare to be dazzled." Hint: Chun-Li has never looked better. uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BrJzE-kCHaY

That wasn't even a parody, that is the game adapted flawlessly. Okay, it would have been flawless if Chun Li hadn't been played by Jackie Chan. The live action SF film should have been 90 minutes of exactly fucking THAT! Why has nobody told me about this film before? I must see it.
Chan would win the choreography contest, but Li would win an actual fight. Here they are battling in "The Forbidden Kingdom" to some obnoxious music from the dude who posted it.

"Embedding disabled by request." Whatever that means.
OK - one to think on; Jet Li vs Bruce Lee. FIGHT!

Try this for Li vs Chan.
No man who has ever been born on this Earth could kick Bruce Lee's ass. Li and Chan together couldn't do it. This is a dude who could knock a man twice his size down from one inch away with no wind up.
And the there's this:
At 2:17 is one of my favorite shots of all time which was an honest-to-goodness real life Bruce Lee kick. The dude who took it had his sternum broken. Two of the guys who caught him got a broken arm each. This from a guy who was 5'7, 146 pounds give or take.
Awesome.
