3) Fearless [
Huo Yuan Jia]- (9/10) Jet Li's Final Martial arts epic, providing a true story about a warrior who became the best.

8) The One- (7.5/10) Action and Sci-fi, Bruce Li in a movie about the multiverse theory, and just awesome martial arts. an epic story of a sheriff's deputy fights an alternate universe version of himself who grows stronger with each alternate self he kills.
9) The Karate Kid- (7.5/10) Action and Family, In my opinion an instant classic about a boy who gets bullied, learns martial arts, and teaches the bullies a lesson.
10) Kamen no ninja Aka-Kage- (7/10) Action, A movie about frickin ninjas, what more could you want?
Too bad that didn't make your list. I'm a huge "Kill Bill" fan and that had some terrific martial arts scenes. I liked Jackie Chan in both "Rush Hour" movies, and the comedy was great. Your choices included "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which had phenomenal effects and the heartwarming "Karate Kid" and "K.K. 2" movies. Keep up with the interesting lists...good way to start a discussion.
