Tony Jaa as Liu Kang?


Seriously he could play a great Liu Kang in the new Mortal Kombat reboot. He's got the badass skills i doubt about his English though. What do you guys think?

Without Jackie Chan's popularity huh? What about the other thread you started about him being overrated? Tell me how both can exist without contradicting the other.

Ring fights and competitions aren't any more proof of good martial arts display than stunts. All of them are done in controlled environments before anyone gets hurt badly. A good fighter IMO triumphs and recovers fast in a real fight, so the only time you can judge how good anyone is is if you take a time machine back to the days of hand-to-hand combat wars. Good luck trying to find a time machine, though.

Nothing is more reliable than a man whose loyalties can be bought with hard cash.
