      Hilarious how out of all the 90’s martial action stars, he was considered the “fake” during the 90s because he was a dance teacher and did ballet. Meanwhile, he’s the one who actually physically can kick people’s faces in and was a kickboxer compared to fat-fuck Seagal with his Bullshido

      A lot of cocaine comments here… given unlimited 8balls, can you even come close?

    3. With Dida Diafat who won 11 world championship titles.
      In particular, in 1993, he became world champion against Ramon Dekkers.

    4. One of my best friends in college could do those crazy high kicks. The interesting thing is that he was quite heavy-set and was already starting to go grey. He was quite a bit older than me.

      He could do a spinning back kick over my head, even though he’s 4″ shorter than me. Now that he’s in his late 50’s, he’s not as spry as he used to be. Still, he walks for miles every day like he always did and works the heavy bag. He’s still got a gut, and is riddled with medical conditions. Yet he somehow is in better shape than I am.

      I think it’s the whisky and cigars that keep him going.

    5. His acting was meh. His performative martial arts ability were really good though. This doesn’t mean he could fight but he doesn’t need to be able to fight to be a good movie martial artist.

      He doesn’t sit down to fight. His moves look realistic and he is not impossible to hurt. Unlike someone else:

    6. I love how the Hitman game made him an elusive target, where in the mission you deal him & 13 of his clones, each doing something he did in the movies. Plus the ego.

    7. If only time and health wasn’t so cruel, Jean could have played as Johhny Cage. Thats an itch we will never be able to scratch.
