    To all those people gushing over his fightscenes with Jing Wu and Sammo Hung in SPL, I urge you to watch the finale of 'Flashpoint'. That is without doubt the greatest action scene of all time. I am not even kidding. Take it from a guy who's been watching MA movies ever since Gordon Liu hit his prime. That was the single best exhibition of Mixed Martial Arts ever on-screen. This man is truly the best of all time.

    Killzone was the best. The fight between Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung was nice but. Jackie Wu's fighting scene with Donnie was better. Oh yeah, and Seven Swords... Donnie's roll as the one with the Dragon Sword was incredible. I want a sword like that.

    I personally was more amazed by the innovativeness that was involved in the end fight in 'Flash Point'. Donnie Yen looked so much at ease blending the MMA style grappling with that of the highflying TKD-Thai Boxing hybrid style used by Colin Chou. He's undoubtedly my favourite martial artist of all time with Yuen Biao and Kim won Jin (Sunny the Scorpion from Operation Scorpio)

    Donnie can really sell a movie in my opinion. I've watched a movie just because he did the martial arts choreography for it (The Princess Blade). I also watched Shanghai Knights just because he was in it as well.

    Anyway, he is one-half of the greatest martial-arts scene that I have ever laid eyes on. It is the first fight between he and Jet Li in Once Upon A Time in China 2. Excellent stuff. Another one of his best scenes is his knife/baton fight against Jacky Wu Jing in Sha Po Lang.

    He's freaking awesome! I remember back in the days when he wasn't so big yet, he was even hotter!!! And now, even in his prime, he's still sizzles next to guys half his age (See Dragon Tiger Gate)

    Equal to Jackie Chan or Jet Li although not as famous.
    His choregraphies are great and he got the best kicks.
    I like his style much better then Jackie or Jet's.
    You deserve much more fame Donnie, you're my hero!
