Who are your favorite martial artists?
Jet Li?
Bruce Lee?
Jackie Chan?
That new guy whose movie I can't see becuase I'm too young?

What is your favorite stunt (done by anybody)?

I like that commercial of Jackie Chan and the trash bag when he was jumping on the people's heads in the pool and then hit them with the... bag or something... Anyway, you talk, me stalk... I mean... lure into... I mean.... sleep. :ZzzZZZzZzZzZZZZZZzzZzzZZzZZ:

Harold Lloyd in Safety Last. It is such an amazing stunt. He hangs from a clock twelve stories up. Note that he doesn't have two of his fingers (his thumb and his pointer finger) but he is still willing to do these stunts.

Also, you can see the clip of that wonderful stunt here:

His name is Tony Jaa, and the movie is called Ong Bak. I'm not really interested in martial arts movies.

I really dont think Harold Lloy is 12 stories up. That would be way too dangerous. Well, in modern time it would be, anyway. But it is pretty amazing, 12 stories up or not.

Twelve stories up, not feet. :D And no... I'm not. The people back then were crazy! Plus, if it weren't twelve stories up, there was really no way they could make it as realistic as they did, so they had to have it that high. Amazing!

Whoops, sorry, I was thinking about...feet...or something.

There might be a way to do that. Like...get really tiny cars! Or something.

That all I got.

who your favourite martial artist is is really irrelevent, Bruce Lee has no counterpart no matter what way you look at it.

It really is quite impressive, Snoink, but utterly mad.
