Quot from Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Claude_Van_Damme

“He began martial arts at the age of ten, enrolled by his father in a shotokan karate school. His styles consist of kickboxing, shotokan karate, muay thai, and taekwondo. He eventually earned his black belt in karate, later winning the European Karate Association’s middleweight championship in a stunning upset vs. the former champion Michael J. Heming”

I was only using the idea of fight chereography, but seeing the above description (20 to early 40s) and Yen is 45 years young…

And some folks might want the part to give a bit of ‘honor’ to Bruce Lee…

y’know what? I was thinkin’ John Cho for this wacky stuff, but due to my indirect suggestion, I’m sold!

Donnie Yen, step on up!

in case you don’t know, chow is pretty much a egomaniac. i don’t see him being someone else’s sidekick in someone else’s movie. i’m not surprised he left the project.

Ong Bak

Hmmm…Muay Thai (and possibly eskirma) instead of kung fu and Jeet Kwon Do?

Sure. Why not. Better yet, go MMA and have all the above.

FACT: Jean Claude Van Damme STARTED studying Martial arts after doing a NUMBER of action films.

He is a classically trained dancer first and foremost.
