BEST MARTIAL ARTS SCENES FROM ASIAN CINEMA Part 1: The Protector, The Raid, Flash Point, and First of Legend

The Protector is rather silly as a whole, but this scene is without a doubt the highlight of Tony Jaa's career. It's basically an impressive Cuaron-like long take with Muay Thai ass-kickery.

Jet Li's Fist of Legend is another movie that has far too much great action to just single out one scene. Here's one where he takes on a dojoful of enemies -- not unlike that one scene from his later Kiss Of The Dragon.
