i feel Jackie was just too big during Jet’s run where you more so appreciate Jet in retrospect.

Ironically both "Rush Hour" and "Lethal Weapon 4" came out the same year as far as having Big America mainstream Movies. After "Lethal Weapon 4" it seemed like Jet Li's Back Catalog exploded in the US. Even though I watched "Shaolin Temple" in the 80's. Same with "Snake and Crane" for Jackie. Jackie been blew up in the States though.

Bruce is B.I.G.
:mindblown: is :huhldup:

Yep

Bruce = Big
Jackie = Jay
Jet = NaS

He killed that sh!t. Jackie perfected that "Anything is a Weapon" Fighting. Crazy.

because Enter the Dragon alone shyts on Jackie Chan's entire filmography and i like Jackie Chan. Just lookin at the eye test shows you Bruce was on a whole other level. Bruce was more of an actual martial artist, whereas Jackie was like a seal doing tricks for fish.

Bruce mastered the badass character type in martial arts movies. Nobody else surpassed him in that lane.
But Jackie found another lane and mastered that. the comedy action type. Nobody is close to him in the lane. Bruce lee even tried humor in one of his movie i forget which one. but not as good a jackie ever did.
They both on the mount rushmore.

Enter the dragon was basically a martial arts avengers film.
