Hey yep! Drunken master is great!

Is it drunken master where Jackie and an old man have a duel with chopsticks over the last piece of meat at lunch? And this bit of meat goes from chopstick to the next, across the table, in and out of bowls, down a bench flipped in the air!? All extremely balletic, very funny. I think it was drunken master one or two.....

Anyways Stunts sooo cool. :)

Oh yeah. That was the first Drunken Master, which had plenty of ballet and physical comedy. One of his earlier films.

Chan is my favourite, no doubt! And I WANT him to use a stunt double sometimes!! No more broken bones, please! He's more then paid his dues. The longer he makes movies the better!
Faves include: Drunken master 2, Who am I, Operation Condor, Shanghai Noon, Armour of God, Thunderbolt, Supercop and Accidental Spy(chinese version ONLY, US version cut it to shreds!!)
Favourite single fight: rooftop finale in Who am I.I always said, Bruce would beat Jackie to a pulp in the ring, BUT Jackie would win in a shopping mall! What do you think?
uh-oh, jayne, gotta go.

Speaking of fights and stunts, how about Michelle Yeoh's fight in Tomorrow Never Dies, or the swordfight in Die Another Day? I heard Summer had to learn martial arts for Sererity, so I think we can look foward to some ass-whoopin' in the flick!
uh-oh, pressure leak, gotta go.

By the way, if you like Bruce, check out Timecop 2
-it was choreographed by one of Lee's students and stars Jason Scott Lee, it's actually a good movie and also has a fight in it with the friend who got me work on Toxie 4- he's the guy during the prison riot who says "welcome to the party, pal" before he swings on Jason.
uh-oh, asteroid field, gotta go.

Cool cheers for the heads up on timecop two. The first one was with (I just can't say his name I'm afraid.....) but Jason Scott Lee, now he's OK. He has good presence about him. I'll give that flick a go. Especially as it's got your mate in it. Ace!

As for the Bruce / Jackie debate. Well I dunno I'm just glad that in my lifetime I've been lucky enough to see both their work. Enter the Dragon actually has them both in it so that's maybe my favourite one :)

The roof fight in Who am I is very impressive - and it's funny to hear you say you wish he'd use more doubles... I've thought that . Sometimes I just can't watch those end credits coz I know they're going to show a clip where he really hurts himself! Makes me whince!!!

So Summer had to learn some fighting eh? Hmmm cool.

And your so bang on about Michelle Yeow in the bond film.... She is fantastic in that and many other films. Crouching of course and the Supercop III. She's a watchable heroine. Gives every role real class too. I like her.

Cheers

have you seen Michelle in Wing Chun? It's a silly little movie, but has some of her best moves it it! (Wing Chun is also my main style of kung fu)
uh- oh, wu-shu demons, gotta go.

No I haven't seen her in that. Although a friend mentioned that very film to me a while back. I've been meaning to track it down.

Yeah I looked for that and your TOXIC 4 but alas over here the Wing Chung has been deleted and Toxic 4 is yet to be released.

Still they're performing a hunt for me for Wing Chun and Toxic 4 I'll be notified when they have a copy :) So I'm on track. I'm actually really looking forward to Toxic 4! (never thought I'd be saying that )

So you got any more stunt work lined up?

-yeah gotta watch out for them pointy sabres-
