It's a hard thing to explain sometimes, because people think if I'm saying Bruce Lee is better than Jackie Chan or Jet Li, I must be somehow saying those two are bad, when I'm not.<br /><br />Shinjoku Incident look sinteresting.

That was creative, it was sort of like a tribute to Bloodsport where Van Damme has to fight Bolo Yeung without his vision, this in my opinion is taking it to the next level. Actually you said a special surprise 1, so technically you're doing lucky 13. <br /><br />Actually I reviewed this movie and gave it two stars, I got lots of hatemail, despite the fact I was reviewing just how awful the Miramax version which dubbed scenes and cut out scenes. Another one was The Defender and The Enforcer are other examples. Indeed I explained such, I even included a 3.5 star version review, but I never understood how people didn't read the review since I clearly found it offensive that the original miramax ones were cut, dubbed and trashed artistically. <br /><br />Still, I always loved this movie, I actually like it more than The Chinese Connection. Mainly because this one as you said had lots of character development and fight sequences. The other one worked cause of Lee, but there was a lot of downtime where Lee wasn't fighting. <br /><br />That said, I like Big Boss, Way Of The Dragon and Enter The Dragon better. <br /><br />A Jet Li film though that compare to such would actually be Tai Chi Master. Jet Li is a great action star, Once Upon A Time In China 1-3, Fist Of Legend, Fong Sai Yuk 1-2 and so on are great but just not on the level of Bruce Lee. <br /><br />Jackie Chan on the other hand...has made movies that surpass some Lee movies. Mainly Dragons Forever, Police Story and Wheels On Meals.Kennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664118447662130586noreply@blogger.com
