What happened that he still keeps acting?


I read that it was his last Martial Arts film - then came The Forbidden Kingdom, so who knows.

Like I proposed, Extreme Prejudice reunion. At this rate of cast ideas in this thread, the movie should just be called Badass! The Movie.

And Robert Downey Jr. should be in this because, well, he should be in everything. Also, Denzel Washington in Man on Fire bomb-sodomy mode would be a welcome addition too.

It was his last epic martial arts film, but not his last martial arts movie. Kind of an odd distinction, but not too hard to see when you look back at the type of movies he did in the past.

This could be good assuming they don't have Stratham fight Li like they did in War.

If you're calling up the Predator cast, add Bill Duke and Sonny Landham.

How did nobody (or I) mention Kurt Russell yet? The Rambo/Plissken combo was done in Tango & Cash, but just put 'em in the damn movie. And while we're at it, call Billy Dee Williams. The world deserves a Nighthawks reunion. Also, is Maria Conchita Alonso still around? She's like the female lead in 7 out of 10 80's action pictures.

Yeah just throw any cheesy 80s and 90s action star in to the mix and we're good to go.

This movie's going to be insane.

This is getting to be one the best threads ever.

And let's add Sammo Hung for some comic relief.

FWIW, I think Li swore off historical martial arts flicks.
Can't say I blame him. Don't his characters usually die in them?

Thank you Sly Stallone for believing that there is still an audience for movies for real men.

All the meat will be served medium rare. If anyone asks for a well done, the clerk will give em a roundhouse kick to the groin.

The only beer on tap will be Pabst Blue Ribbon. Heineken? Fuck that shit!

We'll be allowed to barbecue in the theater, right?

And Chuck Norris must lead the team. That way we can add it to his missing in action franchise. And we need a CGI Steve McQueen and a zombie Charltone Heston.

And how could I forget Christopher Lambert? He needs to be in this along with Mario Van Peebles as their characters from Gunmen. Heck, put in Thomas Jane as Lambert's litte brother too.

Fixed. Medium rare but be preferable, but rare steak is what mean eat. Fuck E. coli.

I was actually going to make a reference to that, but didn't.

Also, anyone who comes with a firearm gets in for free.

This movie will be rated R for RAD.
