Movies like Tai-Chi Master?
I really enjoyed Tai-Chi Master. Even the dubbed version. I thought the dubs added to the comedy. What are some other movies that offer the same mix of martial arts brilliance with ridiculous special effects and comedy? I watched Fist of Legend but it lacks the comedy element I seek

What's the central idea of "THE CANTERBURY TALES" by Geoffrey Chaucer ?
Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories in a frame story, between 1387 and 1400. It is the story of a group of thirty people who travel as pilgrims to Canterbury (England). The pilgrims, who come from all layers of society, tell stories to each other to kill time while they travel to Canterbury. If we trust the General Prologue, Chaucer intended that each pilgrim should tell two tales on the way to Canterbury and two tales on the way back. He never finished his enormous project and even the completed tales were not finally revised. Scholars are uncertain about the order of the tales. As the printing press had yet to be invented when Chaucer wrote his works, The Canterbury Tales has been passed down in several handwritten manuscripts.
What is the best fighting scene in a martial arts movie?
Weapons. With weapons, the Jet Li versus Donnie Yen scene from Hero (2002), stands out in my mind.No weapons. Hand to hand, Jet Li versus Jackie Chan, in The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) was quite good.Memorability. Bruce Lee versus Bob Wall, in a scene from Enter the Dragon (1973) left a lasting impression on me (even 37 years later). By no means is it the most flashy, acrobatic, or complicated, but from an emotion-evoking and film making standpoint, this is the one I think of. "Boards don't hit back."One versus many. I've yet to find one that I'd consider great. Too often the "many" are not skilled martial artists and their performances (from a technical standpoint) appear weak, no matter how good the action choreographer.Non martial artists. From a cinematic standpoint, I enjoyed movies like Kill Bill and the Matrix very much. Coming from a martial arts background, however, it is obvious to me the performances are more like a "dance" than fighting (which is not to imply it makes it any less entertaining). I'm sure to the average viewer, the poor fighting performance makes little difference (as there are more important things, like acting performance, hiring well known actors, etc.).
What movies are considered the best martial arts movies ever made?
Admittedly, I probably have not seen as many martial arts movies as others here, but these are my suggestions based on what I've seen. To preface, I have seen a few Kurosawa films (Ran, Kagemusha, Seven Samurai), but in my personal opinion, I see those more as political dramas, or tragedies, not martial arts films per se, so I didn't include any. I'm sure others have different opinions on this matter.The Raid: Redemption. Martial arts movies are often a bit corny and cliche, but this one had a unique setting (apartment building, floor by floor), and fighting style, Silat. The movie was very well received amongst audiences around the world.The Protector, with Tony Jaa. To many audiences, a movie about rescuing elephants may not be relatable, but I found it pretty easy to buy into the storyline. Tony Jaa is a fantastic Muay Thai fighter, and this particular movie is famous for having the longest uncut fight scene. (At least, at the time. I don't know if something has surpassed it since then.)Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has one complex fight scene after another involving both armed and unarmed combat. Characters use all manner of weapons, including ranged weapons, which adds to the fantasy and excitement of the film. It's also enjoyable to watch men fighting women and women fighting women, and people from all kinds of backgrounds and genders are shown to be skilled or crafty fighters. The photography and scenery are also incredibly beautiful, and the story is quite touching.Kill Bill is creative and brutal, and it's unique in that the viewer is given the story in bits and pieces over the course of the film, so it's also a mystery. Further, while Kill Bill is modern and irreverent in many respects, it cleverly incorporates kung fu movie mysticism in a way that works. The same can be said of the second film, which I also greatly enjoy.13 Assassins may not be as famous as older samurai movies, but it is spectacular to behold, especially the final battle scene. The film has a sense of urgency and sadness about it, due to the people's suffering caused by a psychopathic noble, and the story is complex due to themes of loyalty and sacrifice seen on both sides of the ensuing struggle.
Who's the better martial artist? Jackie Chan, Jet Li, or Donnie Yen?
Definitely Donnie Yen.A lot of people commenting on here saying “they’re just actors” failing to take into account Yen and Li’s legit martial arts backgrounds. They both were martial artists before breaking into the entertainment industry.Jackie Chan is great, but he’s out because his background is in acrobatics in the Peking Opera. He took up martial arts but largely in the performative aspect.Jet Li has an extensive background in wushu, but it was in form performance, and he’s never had to use his skills in the real world. I’m not one to say a wushu stylist who doesn’t compete in sanshou is completely useless—even forms wushu practitioners do productive drills and conditioning—but without actual combat experience either in competition or in the real world, it��s hard to say Jet Li is a very dangerous fighter.Donnie Yen has a 6th degree black belt in taekwondo, a purple belt in BJJ, and a black belt in judo. None of those are achievable without demonstrating a decent degree of combat competency. He’s trained in boxing, wrestling, and muay Thai. Donnie Yen is also the most active of the three in embracing MMA, both in training and in his movies, so he understands what a real fight is like. But probably the best case for him is an incident in Hong Kong in which he hospitalized eight guys who were harassing his girlfriend. On top of being the youngest out of the three, the guy knows how to scrap. Also, in my opinion he’s the most attractive, which as we all know adds speed and force to one’s punches.
