Jet li so underrated That man is a serious weapon

[@TylerHingleton]

He got his respect in the Western Hemisphere, so wouldn't say that. He's been my personal favorite for so many years, although, JCVD was my first one I became a fan of. Donnie Yen is the one who's underrated to me.

[@solomonjohnsondagoat23]

​@@TylerHingletonI agree Donnie Yen was super underrated especially in that international movie when he was a cop

[@pablodebella7695]

@@TylerHingleton dont agree, Jet Li was already huge in China before he made it in the West and had made many great classic kung fu movies.

[@TylerHingleton]

@@pablodebella7695 That's my point, is that he got his full credit in both hemispheres, like Bruce and Jackie did, except for Donnie.

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Jet L yes

[@toityb]

I love how Jackie Chan has been able to break the type casting by bringing comedy to the audience and looping his talents to not mimic Bruce Lee when he was more popular. That was brilliant! Such longevity in his career!

[@rohand03]

The way Tarantino slandered Bruce Lee in his movie is despicable.

[@davidh7832]

Bruce Lee was waaaay ahead of his time. He’s a movie icon because his performance was so much deeper than fighting. His knowledge and wisdom from his personal life just added to his legend.

[@ehsnils]

Bruce Lee did seem to me to be a person that gave everything, even if the movie story and the scenery was stereotypical or simple his part made those shortcomings marginal.

[@jetlorider]

Bruce Lee paved the way for them....they know they are grateful of him....new sub right here!

[@BeerdyBruceLeeCentral]

Welcome to the channel brother :)

[@kennethcuesta5620]

Jackie is really a genius. When everyone wanted to be Bruce Lee he created his own identity and everyone loved it. I love his movies. They're too light and too funny, but they're also action packed.

[@archyking1869]

Everyone's pain talking about Bruce's death especially Jackie. My respect & admiration for Jackie has reached another level after watching this, Thanks 😢.

[@noxyoakegnar]

Even with a low understanding of English, he still shows perfect understanding of cultural differences, movie esthetics, how dangerous sycophants can be and how to embody the essence of what Bruce did while staying true to himself His legacy survived due to Jet, Jackie and Donnie

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Do you know Jackie's vernacular tongue(?)

[@davidh7832]

He has a high understanding of English actually

[@SirivanNomany-dp7ui]

Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco and go to Catholic school in Hong Kong and also went to the University in the U.S. I would say his English is excellent.

[@dinsy512]

“…totally opposite to Bruce Lee.” Fascinating. Where Bruce was fierce and in control and deadly serious, Jackie created his own on-screen persona that felt the blows and fought with humour and slapstick. Great contrast in styles.

[@Hoganply]

As a fighter and entertainer, Bruce was a dancer.

[@brendaoldenkamp9735]

Bruce Lee took different martial arts styles and blended together the best elements of them to create Jeet Kune Do. Ironically many of the martial artists they taught him their various styles became his students in Jeet Kune Do.

[@Shadows_Inc]

I always described the old Jackie Chan films and fights as "winning by accident", where he wasn't one step ahead of the opponent, or two steps ahead, he wasn't even half a step ahead, he was barely keeping up and his secret weapon was luck. It was very unique, and so expertly executed, it felt like magic how each sequence tied into each other like falling backwards into a victory.

[@NazriBuang-w9v]

Lies again? Learn Faster Die Faster

[@leggoentertainment2947]

Jackie Chan is so humble, his movies are amazing and remind me of buster keaton or charlie chaplin. He is in a league of his own in modern cinema. Not to take away from Bruce lee who was a pioneer and is an icon in his own right. But even the best Bruce lee movies never made me wonder _how did they film that?_ And with Jackie Chan I've been amazed more times than I can count. Absolutely phenomenal movie star. His movies will always entertain and amaze. Timeless pieces one after another. I love Jackie Chan. (Edit) to put it another way, when I think of bruce lee I think of sylvester stallone, arnold swarzenegger, wesly snipes. All amazing actors with amazing films, but again not as spectacular as: Jackie Chan, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Tom Cruise. When it comes to action movies performers who can do their own stunts just speak more to the imagination. They make me want to go to the cinema. Where as action stars i'm okay with seeing them at home.

[@BelmontGaming]

Donnie Yen is a BEAST! Also, thank you so much for this video. I thought you were stalling in the beginning like 90% youtubers do, but you were actually speaking out of passion. Thank you, truly

Jackie and Jet Li are two of my heroes :)

[@Ethan-wr2os]

Honestly I feel like we have been lucky to be around to witness this era while these legends were making films. While my parents grew up to witness the phenomenon that was Bruce Lee, we had these guys. Rest in peace Bruce Lee, you kicked off an era that made it possible for these guys to succeed 🙏

[@CannibalRitual]

Funny to hear Jackie talking about the Bruceploitation explosion of films that occurred proceeding Bruce Lee's passing. He was right in his words!

[@Blkchevy98]

An extremely insightful piece. Glad I had the opportunity to watch this.

[@ricklee6196]

Thank you so for posting this, Jackie was so humble

[@laulau33170]

Bruce Lee est une légende beaucoup n'imagine pas qu'il y a déjà plus de 50 ans, il a révolutionné le combat au cinéma et à fait évoluer les arts martiaux. Sa première qualité était son intelligence à comprendre les choses et à les faire évoluer. Son charisme à l'écran était également incroyable. 🙏🏻💯❤️❤️❤️🇨🇵

Just look at how excited Jackie is when talking about Bruce, that's how great Bruce Lee was. He was a larger than life figure, supremely gifted, affable and charismatic. 1 of 1.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

All 3 are so good at what they do. Bruce was just unbelievable. Great to hear them speak about this.

[@ShakespeareanBroncobuster]

To me, Jackie Chan is the greatest action star of all time. From his stunt abilities to the success of his movies globally, no one compares to his talent. He has brought so much wonder and joy to audiences for ages. Even as an adult, he is a hero to me.

[@tscrillaforilla4175]

This video was awesome to watch! Anyone else out there, probably 40 years of age or older in the US, remember samurai Sunday? We would go to church in the morning, and come home and binge martial arts movies until they stopped playing them that day. That started my obsession with martial arts movies, and it continues to this day

[@DavidMohr-d7z]

Over here in Canada we had Kung fu Theater every week I loved it five fingers of death and so many awesome movies great memories :-)

[@seoulmandan]

When viewing many action stars, you see a man. A skilled man, but a man none the less. When viewing Bruce Lee, however, you instictively know you are witnessing something more... You catch a glimpse of the dragon that resides within.

[@donovans6472]

Even Bruce Lee recognized the Jackie Chan was special...

Also he has encouraged me to communicate in a country where the language is not my mother tongue. Love his respect and admiration for Bruce Lee and how he stood his ground in not mimicking Bruce Lee.

[@farahleon5100]

there was something outer-worldly about Bruce Lee - his aura his charisma and his skills was and is unparalleled - 60s 70s in south east asia - he was regarded as not only a legend but almost an untouchable lovable person

I don't think Jet Li ever experienced Bruce up and close, but Jackie Chan sure did.

[@calvinmasters6159]

Lee was, for the most part, humorless. Chan added slapstick comedy which we hadn't seen before. Plus, Chan was an equally proficient choreographer.

[@laurasutton1551]

So did Chuck Norris

[@Neopopulas]

Jackie chan did want he did because he was a fan of Bruce Lee. Jet li did what he did because he was a fan of Jackie Chan. It always comes back to bruce lee.

[@vincentsantos6274]

Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris were old enough to remember Bruce. They were in his films. Jet Li and Donnie Yen were too young when Bruce was in his prime. Jet and Donnie were only 10 years old at that time.

It’s amazing. I see so many people talking about Jackie Chan. Is anyone going to talk about how phenomena and how real Danny yen is the way he was talking about the spirit that Bruce Lee brought to the movie set was absolutely on point. You can’t just be a good actor and throw a couple of good punches and kicks here and there you have to be good at fighting and you have to capture the spirit of martial arts, including the when Chen karate

[@The_1and_OnlyUce]

Bro u an og for this comment I was scrolling thru the comments to see if any one would acknowledge Donnie perspective cuz he hit the nail on the head but everyone mostly was on Jet or Jackie, and to not discredit both either, I was just hoping to see it. What stuck out to me about Donnie is that he also is a true fighter like Bruce was like they trained and acted in a sort of way that complemented their martial arts mindset cuz Donnie is true fighter the MMA style that he incorporates with his already knowledgeable and polished Chinese kung fu makes him very unique. The way he talked about how after Bruce's passing that the sort of fluidity and "finesse" and "rhythm" as he put it that Bruce incorporated and developed into his movies that made him such a star was lost to all the Bruce-isms that other actors tried to copy like the signature scream and so on, I felt and believed every word because like he said at the time even tho martial arts movies were so small in the wide world of cinema it was a specific niche that being a good martial artist wasn't enough if you were going to put it on the big screens for other consumers to enjoy and while some companies and some actors may have found a formula and what not that might've worked Bruce came with an original style that stood out and stuck that separated him from others. Donnie is truly not more appreciated enough but I love him so much and the fact that he mentioned Sugar Ray Leonard and boxing and other martial arts that he has incorporated into his repertoire just spoke volumes to me gosh I love all these guys Jackie Donnie Jet Bolo and most of all Bruce man I just love my Kung fu action cinema its such a joy to experience.

[@LaurenceOConnor-fg4dk]

Bruce Lee was a dancer as well as a martial artist hence his use of rhythm (broken rhythm)in fighting...

[@williammoore1980]

He didn’t fight. He was in movies.

[@barrysmith916]

When Bruce was in his 20s before creating his style , he was crazy fast . You couldn't see his hands move . Only after they hit the target going back then you saw it. We slowed down a section of film second by second and Bruce punched from stop to target in less than a second. It was a blurry on film.

great find. the one interesting thing i think most people won't even notice is the last few minutes of Jackie's interview about the difference between action movies in the US and Asia was spot on foresight of what western "action" movies ultimately became. go back to 80's and 90's action movies and watch how long a fight sequence is compared to a modern movie whether live action or full cgi, etc.
