DAMN I can't choose between the fun-loving light-hearted Jackie Chan and the very serious Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan seems to enjoy brawling with a crowd of "bad guys" and has fun doing it. While Bruce Lee is more of a one-on-one type of fighter, although he is more than capable of taking on more than one person. I love em' both!
Steven Segal - are you serious -- I think that Lucy Lui has forgotten more about Martial Arts in her roles in Charlie's Angels than Stevie ever knew. The only redeming value that Segal had was his hot wife. Then a few years ago - she left him. So sorry Stevie.
I'm not a fan of Segal, but I had a discussion with a buddy of mine that studied various martial arts about who really knew their stuff, and he was of the mind that Segal was the guy that would really know how to hurt you. Much more so than Van Damme, at least (I know that's not saying much, but he wasn't the only one we were comparing to). I think it was a "who would you least like to fight" discussion, and Segal was pretty high up there. I took his word for it: I like kung fu movies, but I know jack about martial arts in real life.

After Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon I think you should also add Michelle Yeoh, who is WAY better than some of the men listed here.
You might need to add Chow Yun Fat.
Thanks for the suggestion. :)
