This kicks ass (literally). It’s a compilation of the most brutal martial arts moments from the best martial arts films of all time. OUCH: http://www.maximonline.com/slideshows/vide...lm=1&src=gx1146 I was happy to see Onk Bak on that list, I think it’s often overlooked cuz it’s Thai, people forget that it’s not just the Chinese that kick ass. On the other hand, I don’t think Karate Kid needed to be there. When it comes to martial arts us Americans definitely don’t kick ass.

The Bruce Lee 'Fist of Fury' karate school scene is better than the Jet Li remake that Maxim chose ('Fist of Legend'). Then again, it's possible that Jet Li's karate school fight in 'Kiss of the Dragon' beats them both.

Yeah, I think there are better scenes in Ong Bak too. I would have liked to see Young Master on there.

Yes! The scene where Jackie Chan does that stuff with the fan! Apparently it took absolutely ages to film because it's so damn hard, but it looks superb.

Ah... I knew there'd be a clip of it:

The bit where he spins it in the air took around 100 takes to get right (shown at the end of the clip).
