How can Unleashed be his best movie ever?
I say Hero...

How can any of his American movies be considered his best? With the exception of Unleashed, they were all awful. Romeo Must Die and Cradle 2 The Grave are disgusting, over-stylised pieces of watered down crap. They are an insult to martial arts movies.
My favorites are Once Upon a Time in China and Twin Warriors. Both classics of the genre. OUATIC II & III are great too, as are Last Hero In China, Fist of Legend, and of course, the visual ecstacy that is Hero.

"The One" HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
"I am Yu-Law! I am nobody's fish!"
lol that's a legend line.
Nah seriously, "Unleashed"/"Danny the Dog" and "Romeo Must Die". That final fight with Russell Wong kicks butt.

Alright. Let me rephrase my post.
American = Unleashed.
Chinese = Hero.

His best movie is Cradle 2 The Grave for me! But I find Swordsman 2 cool! But the 1st one has better story... and 2nd has best fight scenes!

This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
Merely this, and nothing more.

Yeah. The One had a decent enough plot in it, using M Theory to explain the alternate universes and such, but the action was kind of sup par. Nevermind Statham kind of sucked in it.

I think all the Hollywood films he has made have been average. They never get close to the action of HK films.
Fearless is far and away his best performance. The choreography of the martial arts is excellent thanks to Yuen Woo Ping.

Kiss of the dragon is my main favorite of mine of his movies, the one was okay but i do want to see unleashed just for the fighting in it.

Did you also like Swordsman 3: The East is Red? Li isn't in it but at least you have Brigitte Lin.

It looks like he's doing one more film and then he's retiring probably for good which is going to be shame.
