He got the quality and quantity i gotta go with yes. I seen in that rush hour 4 thread hes retiring from martial art movies, but does that count movies like karate kid where hes not doin too much physical activity?
Is Jackie Chan the GOAT asian movie actor?
- Thread starter itsyoung!!
- Start date
I personally rate him over Bruce Lee and Jet Li
that's just my preference tho, Watching Jackie is like watching Ballet, its art. (Same applies to Bruce and Jet also, but I feel like Jackie mastered it) As opposed to seeing someone just beat someone up. Jackie in his prime was just a far better acrobat than both those guys IMO.
There are things Jackie can do that both Bruce Lee and Jet Li simply can't do. While Jackie can do EVERYTHING those guys CAN DO and more
The director of Enter The Dragon (Bruce Lee's last film) even admitted that
but since Bruce Lee is a bigger icon, and did it first people prefer to give him the nod. Same reason why some people still put Rakim over Nas even though everyone knows Nas long surpassed him.

How old is he now?
The only Asian actor I can think of that doesn't do the martial arts thing is the guy from Harold and Kumar.

Hell no. Tony Leung Chiu Wai is the GOAT asian movie actor.
Jackie is the GOAT action movie actor, and realistically, Jet Li is the GOAT martial arts actor. Bruce Lee is just legendary, he is a different category all together

Off the strength of doing most of his own stunts his whole career, i gotta c/s. Don't know anybody else on that level AND with the longevity. They shoulda put that ninja in the Expendables over Jet Li.
he is the jigga to bruces biggie
Toshiro Mifune is my nomination for da gawd.
How many undisputed classics has this guy given us with Kurosawa?
Even among Chinese actors, I don't think Jackie can top these two.
Andy Lau
Tony Leung Chiu Wai
Jackie's the GOAT action star. But if we're talking about serious acting, he can't touch these guys.
