Funny pic, though.

does anyone remember that part in "rumble in the bronx" when he instaclimbed up this area where a fence met a building at a 45 degree angle and he just pushed off from one to the other up like a story? that was was awesome. you have to like that kind of action movie, where it's super choreographed fights mixed with out of the bos stunts/gymnastic feats.

This reads like a s(c)ript for the Chris Farley show (although Farley never would've used the word "instaclimbed").

The ladder fight scene at the end of Once Upon a Time in China>Anything from Jackie Chan.

Woo Ping made even Keanu Reeves look good.

Have you seen DRAGONS FOREVER?

Dude, ERASER was all right okay, fraught with fail, but COLLATERAL DAMAGE? Really?
