Yes mate, thats the one.

Bit cheesey and commerical in places, some of the fight scenes are a bit too conveyor belt like, but some of the martial arts in it was just fucking awesome, well worth watching if you like that sort of thing i reckon

i think what makes it so good is that there is no animation in it at all. what you see is what he can actually do! and some of it is truly amazing!

That guy is about impressive physically (no i dont mean looks ) as you can get i reckon, the combination of strength and agility is fucking spot on, you would definately have to train hard your entire life to get anywhere close, its quite incrediable what a human being can be capable of with enough dedication.

Gotta love the way he ALWAYS enters a room by throwing someone through the door too

Ive never heard of wi-fu mate so i cant comment im afraid, lol

The martial arts are presented as being of thai origin, but TBH most of it is more "jackie chan school of dramatic fighting that looks good on film" than anything else, and probably isnt how he would fight in reality, but that doesnt detract from the skill involved.

wi-fu is kung fu with wires mate

like a lot of that 70's stuff and, more recently, crouching tiger hidden dragon (wicked film), house of flying daggers (what a load of bollocks in the last 30 minutes), hero (the fight scenes were great, just not enough of them), etc

Would definately be interesting, he is certainly a match for him in terms of how good he looks on film
