Need some Jet Li movie recommendations?!
Question: Huge fan, but due to my age, I've missed allot of his classic works. About the only older jet li movie I have seen is " Fist of Legend " I've seen most of his newer ones. So what are some good jet li movies I may have overlooked? Im into martial arts movies specifically, so please no suggestions like cradle to the grave (Imo jet li's one bad movie)

...one of my personal favorites, second only to "Fist of Legend", is the quite dynamic period martial arts action/fantasy, "Swordsman II", which was released here in the States by Dimension Films as "The Legend of the Swordsman"...
...the back-to-back duo of "Fong Sai Yuk" and "Fong Sai Yuk II" (...released here as "The Legend" and "The Legend II"), are pretty dynamic and breath-takingly action packed, as well; there's even an amusing measure of slapstick humor strewn in...
...if you can find it, you'll really get a kick out his martial arts western comedy cross-over, entitled "Once Upon a Time in China and America", which predates the Jackie Chan starring "Shanghai Noon/Knights" movies by several years; surprisingly, this one has not been picked up here, for some reason...
...finally, of course, there's the original trio of films in the "Once Upon a Time in China" series, where Jet Li plays the skilled and legendary chinese hero, Wong Fei Hung...
...check these out, these will have you going for a while...
