Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $0.75
Happy trails Jet (at the time, this movie was announced to be Jet Li's last, although he un-retired later).
Black MaskBlack Mask

The techno soundtrack seems strangely appropriate
Ong-Bak - The Thai WarriorOng-Bak - The Thai Warrior
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.00
For his stunts, Tony Jaa is hailed as "the next Jackie Chan."
The Protector (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)The Protector (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.41
The bone-crunching fight scene (where Jaa incapacitates over 50 guys by snapping their arms and legs like twigs) is forever burned into my mind.

Seeing Jet Li in a dual role, fighting himself, was definitely... different.
The TuxedoThe Tuxedo
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.75
Having a martial arts master like Jackie play an everyman -- who's granted superhuman abilities through a high-tech, computerized tuxedo -- was definitely different. Jackie later said that he worked long and hard to make his facial expression look like that of a clueless idiot even as he was performing all the elaborate stunts.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden DragonCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.15
Chow Yun Fat puts down his guns long enough to hold a sword in a period film. A "beautiful" martial arts movie... if such a thing can exist.
The President's ManThe President's Man
Buy used from: $7.45
OK, so the plot is thin, but the climactic fight scene still rocks.
