Favorite Action Movie Actor...........

Bruce Willis
 
Yep, Hardboiled...a John Woo film starring Chow Yun Fut and also under Dragon Dynasty banner. Sammo Hung was more famous for his beat down by Bruce Lee in the opening match of Enter the Dragon. Only later Sammo gained critical acclaim for his directory and fight choreography of authentic Wing Chun in The Prodigal Son, starring Yuen Biao. Because of that Sammo was the chosen action director for Ip Man & Ip Man 2. Sammo also played a part in Ip Man 2 as a Hung Gar master & a gang boss. As for Dragon Dynasty, Sammo was in Kill Zone too as a gang boss.


Will be getting Ip Man & Ip Man 2 this week from the library. Looks like there's Dragon Dynasty films to buy in a collectors set. Might have to look into that. Love those movies. Can watch them over and over. And i like when they show previews of other movies before the regular movie starts. I write the titles down then try to get them Thanks for all the info too by the way ! Never knew that.

Buster Keaton. Unbelievable physical actor who had to had destroyed every bone in his body during his career. - And what really makes him my favorite is that, since he mostly worked during the silent era, we weren't subjected to bad line delivery or cheesy catchphrases.

After reading some of his bio, i never realized bow big of a name he really was. For all his fans, a collection of some of his best work was released last year on Blu-ray. Thank you for posting that !

Depends? Do you mean like classic action stars? I saw someone mention Johnny Depp and I wondered when he was classified as an action star (seriously??)? For the classics, Steven Seagal (I don't think many people could take him in his heyday), Van Damme (Bloodsport, hell yeah), Arnold of course and simply for one movie, Road House, Patrick Swayze.

Newer age. The Rock, Jet Li, Mark Wahlberg and another guy for on movie, Knockaround Guys, Vin Diesel.

Vin Diesel for this one scene!



I also in no way endorse MOST of these actors acting skills.
