A Martial Artist Trilogy.

[GoldenFist]

Everyone has a trilogy, but today I want to compare them to legendary master...Bruce Lee. Now, no one is ever going to be as good as him, and we'll truthfully no one ever will. But his movies are legendary all over, and I wanted to see what people would think other martial artist movies are Bruce Lee movie types. For example:

BRUCE LEE MOVIES: *************************** JCVD MOVIES:

The Big Boss ********************************* Bloodsport etc.
The Fist of Fury
Return of the Dragon
The Game of Death
Enter the Dragon

So do you understand? This is for any martial artist. So Whats Jean Claude Van Dammes Big Boss? Whats Segauls Fist of Fury? The Last movie "Enter the Dragon" must be very popular. Tell me your star and their Bruce Lee movie type list. ex: "JCVD's TimeCop is his Return of the Dragon" ( not really )

Well in my opinion Drunken Master 2 would be Jackie's Enter The Dragon.

No I didn't know what you mean. I'm not being negative, just struggling with your choice of phrases. Trilogy means 3, and I wasn't sure if you meant we picked 3 bruce films from the five first

[lillippa328]

pretty much compare peoples movies to bruce lee's movies....


Jet Li Fist of Legend = Fists of Fury (well, it was a remake afterall,lol)

[DeathFuMaster]

I think he means this:
The Big Boss was Bruce's Introduction, so other star's first/breakouts could be compared to that.
Enter The Dragon was the most popular/international breakout so it could be compared to another actor's best film.

Of course this is just what I got out of it...

These threads keep getting more obscure... but I'll play along for now.

Van Damme:

The Big Boss = No Retreat, No Surrender >>> Debut
Fist of Fury = Hard Target >>> Best Film
The Way of the Dragon = The Quest >>> Directorial Debut
Enter the Dragon = Timecop >>> Most Mainstream
Game of Death = Street Fighter >>> Worst Film

Steven Seagal:

The Big Boss = Above the Law >>> Debut
Fist of Fury = Out for Justice >>> Best Film
The Way of the Dragon = On Deadly Ground >>> Directorial Debut
Enter the Dragon = Under Siege >>> Most Mainstream
Game of Death = Half Past Dead >>> Worst Film

[The Dragon]

Jackie Chan:

The Big Boss- Snake In Eagle's Shadow
Fist of Fury- Drunken Master
Way of The Dragon- The Young Master
Enter The Dragon- Rumble in The Bronx

RITB, was a breakout film, internationally for JC, and even though others were better, it still brought him mainstream in the U.S., moreso than Battle Creek Brawl.

Chuck Norris:
The Big Boss- Good Guys Wear Black
Fist of Fury- A Force Of One
Way of The Dragon- The Octagon
Enter The Dragon- Code of Silence

For The Octagon, the finale where CN goes to confront his Blood Brother, at the famous hidden camp, was almost similar to his showdown with Lee at the Colossium in Rome. Audiences wanted more MA action in the Octagon camp though... Maybe a longer showdown with the Japanese villian, Tadashi Yamashita. It was over too quickly.

If you mean what I think you mean (directorial debut).. shouldn't Jackie's Way of the Dragon be Fearless Hyena?

The thread title should say 'Pentalogy', not 'Trilogy' (oops, emacs beat me to it):)
