Chow Yun Fat does kung fu?


I mean, since when?! I've seen a few of his Hong Kong efforts and they all have him brandishing guns (usually two at a time and in slo mo). The first and only time I saw him doing anything martial-arty was in that sappy girl's film, Crouching Tiger.

There are alot of fAT guys that do well at martial arts. Actually, several martial arts masters are a bit heavy. I personally don't like Chow's acting style, and Hollywood logic just keeps revolving these freeking stereotypes on us again and again. I'm just waiting for Dude, Where's my Car Again to come out///hahaha lol

well...its like this...crouching tiger has cyf in it, crouching tiger is a martial arts flick...crouching tiger won awards...so that makes cyf an actor in an award winning martial arts flick. so that makes him a good martial arts actor...while my logic may not be the best..i think thats what happen..id prefer guns and guts though...

I do not know how much of a martial artist that he is really. In 'Once a Thief' he had a decent fight scene towards the end of the movie.

Movies like Hard Boiled and The Killer did not feature much hand to hand combat.
