Jet Li's last movie? (trailer)

[Taito]

Well, last martial-arts movie anyway..

http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/1206jetli-martialarts06-ON.html

Here's the movie's website, with a teaser trailer:

http://www.fearlessthemovie.com/main2.htm

[bill_rizer]

why is this his last movie? jackie chan is way older not to mention some other stars and they still make movies.

I doubt this will be jet lis last movie, even if it is who cares Tony JA is taking over NWO style.

also the godzilla music in the trailer made me laugh.

[SaffronsGhost]

....and so begins my Li boycott.

Who fucking needs him, anyway. His recent movies have SUCKED SO HARD, and Tony Jaa >>>>> him anyway...

Edit: Can you read, bill? It appears not.

[bill_rizer]

Edit: Can you read, bill? It appears not.

what are you on about?

[SaffronsGhost]

Well for one thing, the thread itself tells you that he isn't trying to say this IS Li's last MOVIE, just his last MARTIAL ARTS movie. And for another, it's not his age it's his mindset that's the problem.

What a stupid bastard, though. He can still do action in a movie with a decent plot and philosophy, or whatever the fuck he wants.

[bill_rizer]

Well No I didnt even click on the top link so I didnt read all that.

Well I dunno for me Jet Li is FAMOUS for his MARTIAL ARTS films, you must think otherwise so when he stops doing those you might as well say its over.

Im not really a Jet Li fan anyway, theirs beter stuff out there.

[SaffronsGhost]

All that I agree with :D

[Pryde]

yo is that Kurt Angle?

[Taito]

yo is that Kurt Angle?
LOL I was thinking the same thing. Probably not..

[YellowS4]

yo is that Kurt Angle?
Nope, Nathan Jones. Same guy from Troy and Tom Yun Goong.

Dunno how you can compare Jaa and Li anyways.. :confused:

[SaffronsGhost]

Dunno how you can compare Jaa and Li anyways..
How cant you?

[maxx]

Nope, Nathan Jones. Same guy from Troy and Tom Yun Goong.

also a former wwe wrestler.

damn you guys are bitchy..remember without guys like jet li their would be no tony jaa. Respect the past or you got no future.

You can see shades of jet li and jackie chan in tony jaa. jackie chan immortalized that whole using obstacles to outrun his opponents and made it into an art. Tony jaa took it to the next level by doing arials through sheets or glass and jumping through barbed wire.

Tony jaa is doing trickz in his moves...which we haven't seen in a while. But he's not the first martial artist to do breakdancing in martial arts movies. Not is he the first to do gymnastics and high acrobatics.

He has done nothing original. I love tony jaa to death...just realize where your fanboyism ends, tony jaa takes what has been done before and takes it to a new level.

Fanboyism? Of actors now? Goddamn you nerds are....nerdy.

Oh, and nothing you said changes the FACT that Li hasn't been in a GOOD MOVIE in YEARS and YEARS.

[YellowS4]

So what if he hasn't been in a "good movie" in years. You can say that about other actors. How bout musicians?

What happens when Jaa's next movie isn't good enough for you, what then? Gonna have to echo Maxx's post and that Jaa's shit is a mix of both + power.

[bill_rizer]

tony jaa takes what has been done before and takes it to a new level.

You just hit the nail on the head.

No if it wasnt for bruce none of this guys would have come through.
Bruce is the MAN forever.

How is Nathan Jones apearing in all these movies? was he famous before he came into WWE because he wasnt their long, most guys that leave so soon just completely vanish.

[PsychoSquall]

Jet Li's Unleashed was a good movie.

Did you think there was a point made in there, or something? If Jaas next film isn't good, I give him a few more chances (just like I did with Li) to change his act.

Walking around, trying to pretend that anyone who WAS good at something will ALWAYS be good at it is THE DUMBEST thing I can think of.
Jet Li's Unleashed was a good movie.
Was it now? Sure could have fooled me. And that, minus the ACTION, sounds like what he is going for now. Great! I can't wait to see the dialog in his next film, even though there's no way it can top Danny the Dog/Unleashed:

You know a lot of people think because
a piano's so big, it is very strong

[YellowS4]

Who said anything about "ALWAYS" being good? What if Jaa goes through the same "no good movie" funk (in your opinion) that Li has. That's gonna make him just as bad I suppose?

[SaffronsGhost]

Of course...

Look, I'm not saying I dislike Li. I'm saying I dislike his recent films, and the end of their creation is of no loss to me. Unlike Jaa, who is in his prime...I don't want him prime cut out.

[maxx]

heres the deal about nathan jones. He wasn't that well known before the wwe, during his run he was new and they "tried" to get him over. But the wwe failed on making him a marketing beast he could have been. But once he did troy he started beasting the worldwide movie industry.

i never knew martial arts movies had to have perfect plots. Man ong baks plot sucks...hard..but goddamnit its a fuckin awesome movie. i love unleashed....and i will be in opening night for his last martial arts movie...assuming it comes to america.

[SaffronsGhost]

i never knew martial arts movies had to have perfect plots. Man ong baks plot sucks...hard..but goddamnit its a fuckin awesome movie.
What are you even talking about? Yes, Ong Baks plot was awful. Yes, Tom Yun Goongs was too, if less so. No, they dont need plot.

[maxx]

then i'm confused why you hate on li's films..its not because of the plot? then you don't like the action..and how recent we talkin? what do you exactly hate.

[SaffronsGhost]

I wouldn't even say "hate", they just lacked....goodness, I guess.

Cradle 2 the Grave, lame. The One, lame. Kiss of the Dragon, lame. Romeo Must Die, lame. Lethal Weapon 4, lame.

In fact, all of his american movies have totally stunk. They have bad plots AND boring/standard action scenes.

Whereas with Jaa, it's constant amazment at what is going on up on the screen.

well going by that reasoning..is it really jet li's fault? or hollywood and his management. You dislike on all his american movies..barring kiss of the dragon..thats european...i personally enjoyed kiss of the dragon..balls to the wall wild.

did you enjoy hero?

[SaffronsGhost]

Hero was godly :pleased:

[Deonysios]

I thought Jet signed on for the Tekken movie? Him and director P.W Anderson(God-forbid) are the only people that where supposidly cast. But lets be honest, Jet really hasn't been putting out great movies, but you can't blame him, blame the american movie industry. Since Jet has come to america, The only two movies I liked where, "The One" mainly cuz it was something new for Jet and it was fun to watch, the first 3 times or so. And more recently, "Unleashed". The whole premise of the movie was good. Not as many fights as I would of liked but probably his best american movie. But no question his best movie was "Fist of Legend"

[Hwoarvang]

The only good movies Jet Li ever made are Pre-2000 movies, it's the truth.

[SaffronsGhost]

But no question his best movie was "Fist of Legend"
Uh....

Hero > Once Upon a Time in China > Fist of Legend
The only good movies Jet Li ever made are Pre-2000 movies, it's the truth.
Except that his best one was made in 2002...

[Jedi W.]

Fuck that, Fearless looks fucking amazing, I can't fuckin' wait!

--jedi\/\/.

[Hollow]

That about covers everything. Jet Li's movies haven't been entertaining as of late. Simply standard in terms of action.

[SaffronsGhost]

"Simply standard in terms of action" is basically what I've been trying to explain for the last 10 posts, thanks bro :lol:

[maxx]

just for the record

kiss of the dragon and unleashed are not american done films.

[Hunter D]

Did you guys not see "Hero."

[maxx]

Did you guy not see "Hero."

we've figured out we're bitchin on his american and european movies. his asian movies are good to go.

[angelpalm]

i guess some ppl just dont like seeing jet li acting along side negro's and other such
non-asians, typical srk


as far as i'm concerned, i can't think of any jet li movie i didnt really like, my favorite has to either be my father is a hero or deadly china hero(even tho their both campy as hell)

[The Mullah]

i guess some ppl just dont like seeing jet li acting along side negro's and other such non-asians, typical srk

jesus, no his american films are shit. What you just said is typical srk bullshit.

i prefer once upon a time in china and fong sai yuk to hero. Different tellings of a story with overuse of a colour cheme each time felt tacky to me. i did only see it on release, perhaps i'll like it more with a second viewing?

[Blackestheart]

I enjoyed Kiss Of The Dragon. I thought it was pretty good.

Shit man, I barely liked it the first time. Second time I almost cryed at it's beauty (and no I don't mean the look).

[Skyler]

Tony Jaa cannot touch Jet Li at all or even near Jet's league. Jet Li is Hong Kongs top 3 movie star alongside Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat. I would compare Tony Jaa with Yuen Biao, but not even close to Donnie Yen or Sammo Hung for that matter.

Jet Li hasnt even been in a big movie since his last one was Hero and the closes one he got to was the Matrix sequels outside of Hong Kong, but even then the wachowski brothers were only going to offer him 3million for his role in 2 movies. Most Hollywood movie makers these days dont acknowledge kung fu actors anymore. They just go ahead and put some blonde chick in tight skirts and make her fight a stupid ass fight scene that you dont even want to watch, but is force too if you want to go on to the next scene. Jet's Wu Shu is great to see in action, but thing is, Hollywood dont care about kung fu, its all about the big boob girls that run and jiggle throughout the entire film. Quentin Tarantino is the only directior i know of that acknowledge kung fu movies and actors more than Hollywood ever will.

goto wikipedia site and look up Jet Li's profile. Li will mention why Fearless will be his last movie.

[Psycho Flame]

errr I must say I do enjoy Jet's older movies a lot more then his more recent ones. Last hero in China, Tai Chi Master, Fong Sai-Yuk errr the list goes on.. Oh well Jet is still dope I don't care what anyone says.

we all lose when you guys argue about tony ja vs jet li

I had forgotten about that! Fong Sai Yuk was the shit. Good shit.

[Irennicus]

Fanboyism? Of actors now? Goddamn you nerds are....nerdy.

Oh, and nothing you said changes the FACT that Li hasn't been in a GOOD MOVIE in YEARS and YEARS.

I really liked Unleashed. That was early 2005.

[Alex]

This reminds me of how Jackie chan hates it when people do air karate chops and martial arts sounds as they introduce him. Bottom line is people WANT to see people like him and Jet Li in action films, and dont want to see them in anything else. So if hes going to try the "Serious acting" thing. it will most likley bomb, Jet Li's carrer is over ;_;

[maxx]

What Vs there's only one now, morons.
jackie chan?

[SaffronsGhost]

When was the last Jackie movie, though? Like a real martial arts film? I can't even remember, so I'd hardly call him competition.

Besides, Jackie is martial arts comedy...Jaa is....uh, not. He's just a plain badass.

jackie's last movie was new police story and he's got another movie coming out soon. its set in medivel times.

he hasn't really stopped just cause its not in america don't mean he's not busy. http://imdb.com/name/nm0000329/

[SaffronsGhost]

True, but it does mean I wont see them unless some dude from SRK tells me about them ;)

Are they worth seeing?

[L1qu1d]

i actually just saw a DOPE li movie this weekend and need an ID, it's about li and his childhood friend growing up in a temple. they get kicked out of the temple because li's bestfriend secretly learned moves and fought hard against his fellow monks, then his brother becomes corrupted and joints the military and just keeps becoming more corrupt. Li then goes crazy and fines tai-chi and svaes the day. anyone have any idea what i'm talking about.

it twin warrios jet li use tai chi in the movie but the movie is twin warriors

[Rhio2k]

Twin Warriors. That shit was on Spike yesterday around 3:00pm. Favorite scene:

*Jun Bo hugs wooden post*

JB: Master...you've gotten so tall and trim...you still smell the same, though.

Reverend and hot chick try to pull him from the post. 2 impacts are heard offscreen, and the reverend and chick stagger backwards onscreen from the left, each sporting a bruise on their face. They walk offscreen to try again. 2 more blows are heard. They stagger backwards onscreen, each with a new bruise on their face. They try again...2 more blows are heard. Scene change.

That shit was hilarious.

[SaffronsGhost]

Spike has been showing it often for the past few months.

[TheWanderer]

Gosh, white ppl dunno shit about action films(martial arts), yet they choose to direct people from asia(telling them what to do). Faking losers. Doesn't Tony Jaa have an asian director, that have atleast some knowledge about martial arts and ways to make the plot exciting?

White directors, worry about your drama and crime investigation crap, leave the action films to Asians. Sad to hear it's Jet li last action film :(.

[Plutoburn]

Unleashed was good too.

Actually, the only really bad movies with him in it are the ones made in Hollywood. The good English movies like Kiss of the dragon and unleashed are both made in Europe. I blame it on hollywood's pathetic attempt to use hiphop with martial art movies.

[Wil]

Jackie Chan's The Myth was great.

Jet Li's Hero was great.

Fearless......looks great too.

[Rock2k1]

I liked Hero, Unleashed and the One from his recent movies.

But people are missing the most important point. Yuen Woo Ping is action director for the movie. It looks hot to me, and prolly will be.

[CoolBlue]

This is most likely Jet Li's last movie.

He has already announced that he is concentrating on buddhism and will be slowly fading out of the movie scene sometime ago.

Which is true, since he didn't make too many movies these few years.

[Skyler]

Yeah dude and did you know this? Britney Spears is better than every band on the planet.

you know your talking to a guy that have seen alot of kung fu flicks since 8yrs old. I know alot about martial art and kung fu movies so if your gonna reply back to me, make it a good one, okay so dont just give me a, "Britney spears is better than christina crap". if you know what your talking about saffron, plx explain to me how Tony Jaa is better than Jet Li?? i bet you dont even know why sammo hung is famous too.


Im guessing the chances of Jet Li and Jackie Chan being in the same movie together isnt gonna happen anytime soon or ever happen. Hollywood dont give a damn about kung fu actors since its all about special effects now and comic book movies. even old school stunts is fading away slowly being replace by CGI. what can you do in a situation like this? nothing really.:sad:

[SNkNuT]

sadly if this is jet li's last movie he will surely be missed. thank god for tony jaa keeping old school real stunts alive in a time where cgi is taking over in movies.

[Silentness!]

I love watching Tony Jaa in Ong bak again and again... and again.

[L1qu1d]

thanks. spike actually plays dope movies, lots of old chan,li,and lee films.

[SOARINGWING]

I enjoyed Danny the Dog.

[fishjie]

i enjoyed romeo must die. i think out of all his american/euro movies, that one was the best one. shrug.

everyone's got their opinions though. however, by far, the best jet li movie is still, FIST OF LEGEND. there are a coupla other great chinese movies, but to me, fist of legend IS *THE* jet li movie.

[L1qu1d]

^^ which one is fist of legend? is that with the china-japan beef going on? name sounds so damn familiar

[Psycho Flame]

^^ which one is fist of legend? is that with the china-japan beef going on? name sounds so damn familiar

Correct. Fist of Legend is indeed the film you speak of.

[YellowS4]

Fuck, what a horrible bump but this movie IS A FUCKEN BEAAAAAAAST

[r2jayD]

This movie is fucking ownage!!! Complete tragedy though....
The prequel to fist of legend, with the twist of hero.

[BornAgainCommunist]

I don't think this is even the last movie Li will fight in either.
..... it just might be the last period martial arts movie. He has to fight in his movies... so far even if he is capable of good acting..... his movies, do not show it.

Jet Li is pretty fucking awesome.... for a wushu trained fighter.

He brings an edge to all his movies... even if it is only physical.

I am definetly a Jet Li fan.... but i think he should have played more villain roles... complex character... like in Hero. .... which he was somehow able to pull of without speaking . haha

[Wil]

Just picked up this movie. I'll be watching it in a couple hours once I get off work. yay

[BornAgainCommunist]

ahh... I just fucking realized.... that this movie it might be like Seven swords.... and just go straight to DVD for american audences....and what do ya know... Fearless is already out.... shit.... no video stores have it here... probably worth buying anyway.

[BornAgainCommunist]

here are some of the fights. there is some fucked up shit in there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lui6AaeMz6M&search=Jet%20Li%27s%20Fearless

[YellowS4]

It's getting a theatrical release domestically later in the year, not sure if it'll be the uncut version or not. (which is being released sometime this month on dvd anyways..)

[Super Warrior]

And thus begins the downward spiral of his carrerr. Martial arts movies are really all he is good at. Take those out of the equation and there is not much left. Also everyone knows him as the "karate guy", its hard to break away from that and also hard to convince others to see a movie he's the star of where he's NOT the karate guy.

[KORYNTHYAN]

Downward spiral? Some of you people are so damn harsh and judgemental. Sheesh.
Whether he retires from martial arts movies or not, atleast it would be on a high note
as most every movie that any of us martial arts movie buffs have seen, we've liked. He
has a family now that I'm sure he's trying to devote more time to.

We'll always have new thrills to look forward to---Tony Jaa, the newest sensation. In
all honesty...I love em all. I do wish that Donnie Yen would partner some more with
Yuen Woo Ping and maybe some day come to his own stardom (atleast here in the
states). Donnie Yen has been one of my favorites for a long time---him and Mark
Dacascos, who for a long time still are underrated here in the states.

I'm anxious to see what awesome movies will spring up with new martial arts mega
stars in the future.

~K.

[PsychoSquall]

Chinese news sources have recently been quoting Li as stating he will no longer make martial arts movies after Fearless. Li has also expressed concern over an old injury. However, Monkeypeaches reports than in an interview with Chinese newspaper "Nanfang Daily," Li indicated that his comments were misinterpreted by the media. Apparently, he meant that he was done with wushu movies, but would continue making action and kung fu movies.

This doesn't clear up the issue though since "wushu" is Chinese for martial art. There is, however, a distinction between the modern wushu created by the People's Republic of China that Li was once a champion competitor of and traditional wushu that encompasses what Westerners generally refer to as Chinese kung fu, as seen in most kung fu movies of the 1970s and early early '80s.


Jet Li said that he has already expressed all that he can in in 'epic Hero-ish' films, and that there's nothing left for him to tell. He considers films such as Romeo Must Die/Unleased/etc. and Hero/Fearless type fims as two different genres. So basically he will still be doing movies where he kicks people's asses.

Rogue (http://www.roguethefilm.com/) is his next movie.

And for other martial art flicks to look forward to... SPL 2 and possibly Ong Bak 2.

[junker]

hmm, so this is his last epic MA movie? damn, but what a good one it was!
just watched this last night and man this movie is NICE, definitely one of the best MA movies i've seen. if it makes its way to hd-dvd or whatever i'll grab it for sure.

and psychosquall, ong bak 2 is already out. that's tom yum goong isn't it? that was another choice MA flick, tony jaa's style is always entertaining.

[HaiDuongRiceMan]

SPL 2? You freakin serious?

First SPL was so good...hope they don't pull an Infernal Affairs and make them progressively worse...

Speaking of Infernal Affairs, where's the American remake I kept hearing about?

and psychosquall, ong bak 2 is already out. that's tom yum goong isn't it? that was another choice MA flick, tony jaa's style is always entertaining.

Tom Yum Goong was known as Ong Bak 2 (tentative working title), but it's obviously not Ong Bak 2. I've just heard that after Tony's next film Sword (2006), he will do Ong Bak 2 (2007) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0785035/). But again, I am not positive, which is why I said that it was 'possibly' in the works.

Donnie briefly mentions about SPL2 at the end of this (http://www.kungfucinema.com/articles/20060313_01.htm) interview. It might not be a direct sequel.

SPOILERS TO SPL:

There are two versions of SPL. One of them had 4 minutes cut, making it a lot less darker. They edited out the part where Donnie's character gets throw out of a window in the end! Did he die from that fall?

[Chozen1]

god this thread is such old news, Fearless has been out for a while; get your head out of your asses. go down to golden apple comics in LA and look for drunken master video store located in there as well. They'll be posted up at comic con as usual and are always at the LA science fiction and comic book conventions as well monthly. Rick and his chick are the ones whom run the shop and trust me, these guys OWN all hong kong action cinema. best place to buy the aforementioned movies as well.

[Sexperienced.]

Squall, to answer your spoiler question yes he did.

Fearless was Jet Li's last "WU SHU" movie.

But people are missing the most important point. Yuen Woo Ping is action director for the movie. It looks hot to me, and prolly will be.


the one was (not arguably) one of his worst movies ever. shit was fucking terrible.

[OmNiExiZt]

Speaking of Tony, whatever happend to that movie called "Born To Fight" that was supposed to come out?

I won't lie to you. I liked Jet when he first came out. But it seemed like the more movies he was in, the worst they got. Then he started doing the street orientated movies and everything pretty much went to shit from there. As far as his acting skills go, he needs to stick to punching and kicking. Unleashed was total shit because they tried to give it a deep plot. Why do you think Jackie punched and kicked his way to the top for so long. It's what works and it's what people want to see. Jackine has a lot of other things he can do for income like singing and such, and I don't think Jet has anything like that to fall back on. Maybe he'll be a much better actor if he sticks to Chinese Cinema.

*ONEZ*

tony jaa i think was a stuntman in the first one.

Psychosquall, in the edited version you saw, did they show what he landed on? I'm guessing not...

[Gimpy]

I still say that Jet Li isn't no match for Wesley Snipes and his "unbridal negro" fighting spirit. :rofl:

[PsychoSquall]

The edited version doesn't show him falling 'at all'! It didn't show him getting thrown... After he pours the drink, it cuts to the beach. lol

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

So Fearless is officially out now?

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

Scratch that, I'm dl'ing this ish right now.

i actually just saw a DOPE li movie this weekend and need an ID, it's about li and his childhood friend growing up in a temple. they get kicked out of the temple because li's bestfriend secretly learned moves and fought hard against his fellow monks, then his brother becomes corrupted and joints the military and just keeps becoming more corrupt. Li then goes crazy and fines tai-chi and svaes the day. anyone have any idea what i'm talking about.


The Chinese version is called The Tai Chi master. The edited version is twin warriors. TW had different music theme. the chinese version of it had the theme from once upon a time in china and it sounded better. TW edited ommitted some graphic parts like one of the soldiers that were being trained was climbing on the nets and fell on one of the spikes. TW was also dubbed. And yes i like this movie a lot too. But my favorite is fist of legend and once upon a time in china series. Even though he had a small part in lethal weapon 4 and barely said a word he was pretty bad ass. He was a pretty decent villian. I think his movements in that movie were the quickest out of all his US movies.

[MrQuotes]

i loved this movie
almost as much as my favorite jet li movie fist of a legend
i wasnt too hot on twin warriors...

[SNkNuT]

i really like the story of twin warriors. i'm gonna watch fist of legend later.

[nameingway]

how come nobody has mentioned lord of the wu-tang? ;[

that movie fucking owned.

[Sears]

This movie easily surpassed all of his previous works. It was just that amazing. I'm sad that his career is over... but what a way to end it...

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

Agreed. Fearless was truly epic. Fuck all the haters.

[Rhio2k]

Hell yeah! I like the part where Lotus does Gen's air-slam super on Kuh-Ming then somehow has his pants down, her own pants off, and him fully inserted before they hit the floor. Skills. Wait...*looks at dvd case* Oops. I'm talking about Lord Of The Poontang. Honest mistake. Good fight scenes, though.

[AHVB]

Unleashed > 99% of other i can levitate and kick your ass movies.

[Venturi00]

Li has said he has an injury that potentially can put him in a wheel chair. Hes at an age where he cant heal as fast. hes getting out while hes healthy.

[sycoticfatboi]
