number 10 Donnie Yen versus Connelly
bodyguards and assassins the only film
on this list that features yen and a
reduced role bodyguards and assassins
makes up for a sparse appearance in the
third act when he finally springs into
action being chased by the viciously yen
shows off his parkour skills when he
tries to escape through a crowded Street
of course because spiders got a fight he
catches up with him and a to duke it out
in front of a crowd he lands a number of
hits including a wicked long jump kick
but yen manages to fend him off and send
them both flying into a storefront upon
recovering from debris Lea looks to end
it with a fishhook
but yen proves too quick with a broken
piece of pottery to the throat
number nine Donnie Yen versus car away
dragon there is a time to hide and a
time to fight and furyans luo jin chi
the time for hiding is over when his old
gang finally tracks him down willing to
kill innocence and lay waste to the
village Leske reveal his true identity
yen springs into action upon killing one
of the goons he absconds across rooftops
in an effort to draw the relentless car
away away from civilians the two crashed
down in a buffalo shed and give us one
for the ages again hold strong against
the dual bladed way whose intensity and
ruthlessness are ultimately our undoing
desperate way it causes a stampede that
leads her to be trampled and swept away
over a waterfall but not before breaking
Yen spirit
[Applause]
number eight Donnie Yen versus and Ian's
goons special ID as pulse-pounding is
Donnie's car chase with Ana's at the end
of the film his earlier bout with owns
gloom showcases his physical versatility
when it comes to adapting to a
relatively unfamiliar characterization
known for playing stoic self-assured
martial artists Yin gets to shine as the
eccentric braggadocious dragon Shan
while beating scores of black-clad goons
to a proverbial pulp with various
kitchen utensils Yin breaks the tension
by using the shoulders of subdued
enemies as stools and flipping them off
when separated via glass partition way
to objectify in the funniest possible
way number seven Donnie Yen versus evil
Shaolin disciples Iron Monkey despite
there being kung-fu fights all over this
list there's not a lot of wire foo going
on except in this glorious entry acting
is a late nights entry to capture the
outlawed iron monkey Donnie yen's wong
kei-ying instead intercepts a band of
mischievous Shaolin monks working for
the evil hen hung hardly breaking a
sweat
Yin moves light as a feather as he
flings about his adversaries with ease
and fortunately for the viewer the fight
takes place at an archaic construction
site rife with wooden scaffoldings for
yin and company to crash into is don't
make fights like they used to
number six Donnie Yen versus Chi Chi Chi
and henchman legend of the fist the
return of Chen gen yen is one of the few
big screen martial artists that can go
up against virtually a hundred foes and
still look like the favorite in this
rousing finale the titular chin gen
accepts Colonel Chi Chi Chi takeshi's
challenge looking for retribution for
the scores of those murdered in his wake
first squaring off against his goons Yin
dispatches all those who challenge him
to the point that those remaining fear
him at which time the nunchucks become
mere showboating next in the boss battle
she got a she puts him down for the
count but he manages to harness his
inner Bruce Lee by going shirtless and
buckling down once Chi got a she's
beaten to a pulp Yin flips him a
thematic coin to add insult to injury
[Music]
number 5 Donnie Yen vs. three masters
hitman two two
but even with plenty on the line for him
Donnie yen's it man never fails to
remain respectful of his adversaries
when he can it's [ __ ] ball major bob
upon relocating to hong kong he's tasked
with proving himself against the city's
most prominent kungfu masters if he
wants to open up a school the first two
bouts are quick and fun but it's the
third one against Sammo hung that really
gets our blood pumping set on a rickety
table top the to fight for purchase and
space while trying to keep their balance
seeing as the fight is so evenly matched
all that can happen is for the table to
literally split in two making for as
close to a draw as you can get
[Applause]
number four Donnie Yen versus Wang Shu
Qing the lost Bladesman human queen
dongjun basil a yellow gorg when Tania
thought was so hungry yet
if you're going up against Donnie Yen
you gotta know when you're beat while
attempting to locate his sworn brother
and figure out who wants him dead
yen's Guan Yu kills a lot of generals
trying to oppose him before encountering
Wang ji the official of Shing Yuen long
successfully cleared out the town prior
to guan's arrival but looks to impede
him anyway what results is a
hair-raising sword versus spear showdown
that sees Wang fight through exhaustion
even when Guan tries to spare his life
wait a call you need any coma rather
than give up the information Guan seeks
however long ultimately accepts defeat
and ends his own life by letting the
spear fall on his neck we don't see it
but we feel it and it's heavy stuff
number three Donnie Yen versus wujing
killzone improvised movie moments or one
thing put an improvised fight that is
something else entirely
yet that is largely what Donnie Yen and
wujing do in the lead-up to the finale
in Killzone before Yen can take on the
big bat of the film he's gotta go
through wu in one of the most savage
fights you will ever see going up
against Wu's knife with a baton hidden
finds himself getting cut up early
however the length of the baton gives
him the reach he needs to beat Wu to the
punch upon bloodying Wu up Yin is able
to seize his knife and drive it home not
stopping there he makes sure to
completely eviscerate him before ripping
it out and walking away harsh number 2
Donnie Yen versus : Shou flashpoint you
gotta know that when Donnie Yen smears a
nosebleed he means business
of course he meant business earlier in
the film when he took down an assassin
that tried to use the little girl as a
human shield
[Music]
but it's this climactic showdown that
emphasizes the sheer ferocity he can
bring to a roll indeed you see him
employee alternate fighting styles in
this one particularly wrestling as he
pins Chow multiple times during the
fight and ends it with one hell of a
headlock everything else is simply the
kind of rough-and-tumble
winner-takes-all kind of brawl that
emphasizes just how fiercely Yin will
fight to earn the victory

10 black belts it man I want to fight
ten at this point in the first eight man
film yen's title character showed
nothing but restraint and respect for
his adversaries for the love of Wing
Chun which is why it came as such a
brutal shock to see him waltz into
general Mira's dojo and express his
Indignants for his friend's murder on
not one not two but ten black belts
simultaneously
the unrelenting nature with which it
fights breaking arms and legs like they
were bendy straws is impressive and
astonishing in equal measure suffice it
to say he gains the general's attention
but what he really gains is our utmost
admiration for his skill do you agree
