Bruce Lee feels untouchable as the guy who put martial arts cinema on the global map. Undeniably belongs carved into that mountain.
Jackie Chan revolutionized action choreography and stunt work. Creative genius.
Jet Li brought world-class wushu skills and starred in some of the greatest martial arts films ever made becoming a household name.
Donnie Yen became the modern standard-bearer and helped keep the genre relevant for a new generation. The Ip Man movies alone should put him on this mountain.
Are these four the Mount Rushmore of martial arts movies, or does someone get bumped?
If you're replacing one of them, who comes off and who goes on? Tony Jaa? Sammo Hung? Chuck Norris? Gordon Liu? Michelle Yeoh? Someone else?
Just don't say Steven Seagal or I'll know you're unserious.
