I still haven't seen the first one. I know, it's not the Samurai way.

I can't even make a witty title to this scene, it's simply:

Most Ridiculously Awesome Fight Scene Ever

It's not exactly Crane style with a Katana, but I'll take it.

As you know Perry, I'm a big fan of Sonny Chiba, so here are some videos of Sonny Chiba in 3 Samurai/Ninja related movies, where he plays the celebrated real life Samurai and Japanese folklore hero Yagyu Jubei (yes the same Jubei from Samurai Showdown):


Here's Chiba in a Ninja TV series where he plays the real life Shinobi Hatori Hanzo:

I don't know if this belongs in this group, but it involves Bruce Lee. An he is martial arts movies. Anyway, Taiwan's Jay Chou cast as Kato in "Green Hornet". The role played by Bruce Lee. The article says he is a singer/actor. His last major role was starring in Kung Fu Dunk, a movie about a martial arts expert that plays basketball. The referees checked and there is no rule in the rule book that says a martial arts expert can't play basketball.

What I found surprising about the article is that Seth Rogen is starring as the Green Hornet. He also co-written the script. He has said it would stay true to the the Green Hornet TV show of '66 to '67. The wikipedia article says unnlike the Batman TV show, the TV version of The Green Hornet was played straight. If Seth Rogen is going to me the 'straight' man, why not cast someone not known for stoner comedies? I liked him Observe and Report; he didn't play a stoner that time. If he isn't funny in his role, I won't be as inclined to watch the movie. The only reasons I would watch it would to have Seth Rogen make be laugh and see great martial arts action.

My main question is, is Jay Chou a good martial artist or just plays one in the movies?

Ike, I found and queued Ong-Bak on NetFlix, but the closest movie to Dynamite Kick I could find was 'Dynamite Kicks' a cardio kicking workout video. Also, I bought Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and put Old-Boy and Lady Vengeance on my NetFlix queue. Old-Boy seems to have more martial arts fighting that the other two films.
