    BonziWellsGreat and I can agree to this. But I thought this was Martial Arts? I'm sorry but I didn't understand the rules, we can lump in action with the Martial Arts or the term "Action" is used very loosely here.

    Just sorta going along with the OP, really. If Enter the Dragon can be included, then Ong Bak certainly can.

    But yeah, definition of action vs martial arts vs adventure is kinda tough sometimes.

    ^^^ Backasswards.

    How is martial arts NOT action? LOL. Tony Jaa is the epitome of an action hero.

    Whereas American "action" heroes are quite inert, save for their stunt doubles, Tony does his own stunts.

    MA is a sub-genre of action flicks. It's not an either/or delineation.

    Anyway, one of the best fight sequences in the last 10 years, from Flash Point, starring Donnie Yen (Ip Man), in a fight against Collin Chou (who played Seraph in the Matrix sequels, ie the dude who filled in for Jet Li after Li turned down the role). Two masters of their craft showing their ware, and one of the best, albeit, over the top, integration of MMA in film:

    You can check out the full movie on Netflix.
