Don't forget MIchelle Yeoh, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Iko Uwais, Bob Wall, Bolo Yeung, Cynthia Rothrock, Sonny Chiba, Jim Kelly, and Sammo Hung! ALL great action stars and fighters. There must be a part 2 to this list!

"We are gonna exclude people who didn't actually have professional fights" Half of these people are just black belts with no real pro experience. Bullshit list.
Norris should be at #2. He got a black belt in jiu jitsu on top of every other black belt he acquired throughout the years. He’s as legit as they come.
Scott Adkins is probably the most under utilized actor and action stars in mainstream Hollywood films he should at least get maybe a slight mentioned and also Iko Uwais is now one of the rising action star since the success of The Raid Film.
well in terms of notoriety this list its pretty good... but yeah jet li is pretty awesome, and to be honest ive never even heard of that randy dude, not by name anyways, the face just looks kind of familiar
I agree about people saying "why isn't Steven Segal on the list" He was a fighter, and actually is more than a fighter, am not his fan, but he deserves to be on the list, he was a fighter way before he became an action star.
But Jackie Chan is a Kung fu fighter and master in his own right! So skilled...he should at least be an honorable mention. Great list though, our of order but great list
No Jackie Chan!? Sonny Chiba!? Yuen Biao!? Sammo Hung!? Tony Jaa!? Billy Chong!? Not even an honourable mention?? Wtf is this list? You've missed out purr icons of martial arts.
dude...you took the words outta my mouth. You have excellent taste, my good man! The world needs to see more movies by all of those whom yo u have mentioned. quick question.....speaking of Sammo....have you ever seen his movie "The Victim", with Chang Yi, Leung Kar Yan (aka Beardy), Wilson Tong, and a slew of other recognizable people? If you have not done so, I urge you to do it immediately. It is even here on youtube uncut. Check out The Wu Tang Collection channel. They are the best channel for content, and super cool people run it as well. Cheers my friend! One more thing...if you are on facebook, look me up under Fletch Keilman. I am part of a great kung fu movie community on there, and you are more than welcome to join us!
Unfortunately I don't have Facebook, however I am already subscribed to the Wu Tang Collection channel! The Victim is brilliant! I gained my love fro old Martial Arts movies from my uncle! As well as the fighting, I love the bad dubbing. I even have some VHS's of classics such as Pedicab Driver, Miracle Fighters, Crystal Fist, The Buddhist Fist and many more! Always appreciate meeting a fellow Martial Arts Fan. I think I may just go watch Invincible Armour now! Have a great day friend!

Do a "TOP TEN AMC SHOWS LIST"The walking dead, fear the walking dead, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, and of course TURN: Washington's Spies. Anyone else????
Chuck Norris and JCVD should have been switched and I'm pretty upset Sonny Chiba didn't even get an honorable mention. But at least Bruce is at #1 where he belongs.
Bruce is a bit of a mixed bag in that first he was a Hong Kong child actor who went and learnt Martial Arts due to the constant bullying and beating he got because of his fame and mixed breed wealthy heritage (He is one quarter German) then he used his fighting skills to move into adult action star.
An honorable mentioned should be Liam Neeson. Regardless of your opinion of his action flicks. He IS an action star nowadays. He started Boxing as a kid, and never stopped. He finished his amateur boxing career unbeaten. Plus i feel this list is more about people who know martial arts vs people who are fighters. Not saying these people cant fight but they are more martial artists than fighters people on this list should have been Chuck Norris, Don The Dragon Wilson, Oliver Grunner, Gary Daniela, etc. love the list but that's wha i would have preferred just sayin
Quinton "rampage" Jackson should be number one on that list for two reason 1. He is funny as fuck 2. He is one of the greatest light heavyweight mixed martial artists ever!
Bruce Lee starred his movie career back when he was a 3 months old in "Golden Gate Girl" (金門水）and by the age of 20 he already appeared in 20 movies, the most iconic one was a movie from 1950 called "The Kid" (細路祥）which he was one of the main characters and he was 10 years old at that time. By the time he met Ip Man he was already 16 years old. So maybe he doesn't belong in this list?
If you'd have called Bruce Lee a fraud to his face, he'd have given you a 10 piece combo ending with a flying wind kick to the chest before you even knew what the fuck just happened.
Chuck Norris once pissed in the gas tank of a semi truck. Today, we call that truck Optimus Prime.
What about Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, Scott Adkins, Jeff Speakman, Richard Norton, Steven Seagal and Hector Echavarria?
Steven Seagal is a fraud. He lies alot.
Yayaya! Tony Jaa!
I think Scott Adkins should have got at least a Honorable mention
@@pianogiovanna4854 But Seagal is NOT lying about his training in Aikdo though.
Don't forget MIchelle Yeoh, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Iko Uwais, Bob Wall, Bolo Yeung, Cynthia Rothrock, Sonny Chiba, Jim Kelly, and Sammo Hung! ALL great action stars and fighters. There must be a part 2 to this list!
"And later appeared with Bruce Lee"
*cuts to Bruce Lee kicking the shit out of Norris.*
And it was the last time Chuck Norris suffered a defeat.
Chuck Norris said, to Bruce Lee, “You beat me in this movie?” Lee said, “Yes, it is my movie!” Norris shrugged and said, “Ok.”
@@Heartwing37 Chuck let that pass through
Bruce Lee became more then just an action star. He not only invented the style of Jeet kune Do, but he also became a godfather of Mixed Martial Arts.
Greeks are the founders of MMA and not Bruce Lee! Greeks invented Pankration (Which is an ancient form of MMA)! Learn your facts, STUPID
Jet Li was a champion of the martial arts equivalent of gymnastics. He's never been in a competitive match.
Jean Claude Van Damm has a really exellent Kickboxing record he has like 24wins and 1losse
Don't forget MIchelle Yeoh, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Iko Uwais, Bob Wall, Bolo Yeung, Cynthia Rothrock, Sonny Chiba, Jim Kelly, and Sammo Hung! ALL great action stars and fighters. There must be a part 2 to this list!
Number 1 was beyond obvious
Donnie yen if I'm not mistaken was also in rogue one a star wars story
Videogamergirl93 rogue one
jeffrey lopez oops lol wrong star wars movie
...and deserves to be higher than 8.
"We are gonna exclude people who didn't actually have professional fights"
Half of these people are just black belts with no real pro experience. Bullshit list.
DeepSpace Cat yeah this list is contradictory. They said they wouldn't add martial artists/fighters who didn't fight competitive
the best video ever. All my favorite actors in one video. Daaaamn, it couldn't get any better than this.
How the left Dolph Lundgren, Gary Daniels, Benny The Jet, Bas Rutten, Josh Barnett, Michael Bisping...
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Donnie Yen is beast and WAYYYYYY more accomplished than Morrison or whatever his name is. Pure silliness Mojo!
Most of the people in this list were not fighters.
Snipes is also a black belt in the elusive but deadly art of tax-evaddo
mightyPants Well, obviously it hasn't been working to well for him.
mightyPants Snipes may a black belt but the IRS is the Black Belt grandmaster!
Oh no you didn't, good oned
I get goosebumps just thinking about his action scenes
Rip bruce
No Steven Seagal, Jeff Speakman or MEET Magazine? Interesting!
Steven seagull is a joke
Iko Uwais, Dolph Lundgren, Steven Seagal, Scott Adkins and Tony Jaa are definetely missing in this list.
Steven seagal???? Seriously?
How about Cynthia Rothrock?
iko uwais was just a practicioner and not a compettetive fighter
Norris should be at #2. He got a black belt in jiu jitsu on top of every other black belt he acquired throughout the years. He’s as legit as they come.
I LOVED Blood Sport when I was a kid! ❤️
Hey! What about Iko Uwais? Not even in Honorable Mentions? Come on!
Xaero188 is that the guy from The Raid per chance?
@@davidjackson2524 Yes he is.
WHERE IS JOHNNY CAGE?!?!?!
Obi-Wan Kenobi in otherworld
Thank you for giving JCVD the respect .
Still the most precise fluid kicks by anyone ever .
Scott Adkins is probably the most under utilized actor and action stars in mainstream Hollywood films he should at least get maybe a slight mentioned and also Iko Uwais is now one of the rising action star since the success of The Raid Film.
Early squad assemble!
That would be a great top ten
Anyone else, who thinks Gary Daniels is missing?
He is the first name comes to mind actually...
Please do The Top Ten ESPN 30 For 30s
The last time I checked this channel it had 11 million subscribers and now it has 15 million WOW
Dolph Lundgren?
Lilltroll +1
Lilltroll He won the European Karate championships in 1980 and 1981.
Yes... I know.
Notification squad where are you guys at??????????????????????????
i like how half this list were in the expendables
Yea boyyyyy Bruce Lee is the best boyyy😊😊😊😊
I knew Van Damme was #2. Okay, Tommy Morrison did 1 movie, and automatically he's an "action star"?!!!
Right!
No Tony Jaa or Scott Adkins?
Tony jaa was a gymnast and learned muy Thai for ongbak
I remember when Wesley Snipes did more than action movies.
I'm a simple man
I see Chuck Norris, I clicked.
Notification squad :D
Ayy Im related to Randy Couture, no joke :P
there must be a part 2 to this list cause there alot more .
Not sure how I feel about JCVD over Jet Li and Donnie Yen.
Cynthia Rothrock? Scott Adkins...?
So no Steven Segal? And also, how in the heck is Jet Li not #2? No, I do not agree with your picks.
Megan why would jet li be number two
well in terms of notoriety this list its pretty good... but yeah jet li is pretty awesome, and to be honest ive never even heard of that randy dude, not by name anyways, the face just looks kind of familiar
No Tony Jaa either.
Personally I would think that's obvious. He's our generations Bruce Lee.
All the martial artistist in the list are martial arts competitors (joined in a tournament)... Steven Segal was a Presidential body guard.
I hope you can make a video about top 10 muscle arts actors so that Jackie Chan can be included.
My man Donnie Yen recognized
Knight Wolf I am glad that someone agrees with me. Keep training hard
I agree about people saying "why isn't Steven Segal on the list" He was a fighter, and actually is more than a fighter, am not his fan, but he deserves to be on the list, he was a fighter way before he became an action star.
+Wolf 93 Seagal never competed pro or in a tournament that`s what they said at the begining of the vid as to why Chan was left out etc.
Dang no Tony Jaa? He does his own crazy stunts!
I instantly thought Tony Jaa as well, was he a fighter before his actiing career tho?
r33sus he did he fought competitive Muay Thai when he was younger I think
But Jackie Chan is a Kung fu fighter and master in his own right! So skilled...he should at least be an honorable mention. Great list though, our of order but great list
Amanda Anaya Yes he's good at kung fu but they mentioned they're adding people who fought competitively and then went to the big screen
Jacky is not a competitive fighter...
No Jackie Chan!? Sonny Chiba!? Yuen Biao!? Sammo Hung!? Tony Jaa!? Billy Chong!?
Not even an honourable mention?? Wtf is this list? You've missed out purr icons of martial arts.

If Jackie chan was in here he'd easily be in top 3 spot.
I don't know why you didn't put jet lee in #2 spot though.
Top 10 top 10 lists
the first time i see michael jai white in a top 10 list in this channel
what the fuck? THIS is how I find out that Wesley Snipes was in the Bad video?... fair enough... lol

Anyone else????
The Top 10 Fighters Turned 🎬 Action 🌟 Stars:
10. Michael Jai White™
9. Cung Le™
8. Donnie Yen™
7. Gina Carano™
6. Wesley Snipes™
5. Jet Li™
4. Randy Couture™
3. Chuck Norris™

Honorable Mentions:
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson™
Ronda Rousey™
Tommy Morrison™
1. Bruce Lee™
I guess that top 2 of the top 3 is Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris
Iko Uwais from The Raid should be on this list. He started as Pencak Silat (Indonesian Martial Art) athlete turns to movie star.
Where's Scott Adkins? I love him in the boyka movies and his new movie savage dog isn't too bad either.
Chuck Norris and JCVD should have been switched and I'm pretty upset Sonny Chiba didn't even get an honorable mention. But at least Bruce is at #1 where he belongs.
Missed dolphin lundgren, Jackie chan Jeff speakman Jim Kelly and mark dacascos just to name a few
Bruce is a bit of a mixed bag in that first he was a Hong Kong child actor who went and learnt Martial Arts due to the constant bullying and beating he got because of his fame and mixed breed wealthy heritage (He is one quarter German) then he used his fighting skills to move into adult action star.

My top 5 1bruce lee 2 donnie yen 3 chuck norris 4jet li 5jcvd
+Dragon Bosnjakovic Jet Li never had a pro match.
Bruce Lee was an actor way before he began studying martial arts.
banx757 A child actor at that. A cereal comercial if I remember corectly. And with no verifiable fights eather.
TurtleDude05 Bruce Lee began studying Wing Chun when he was 16yrs old. By then he had been in about 18 movies in China.
Yeah he really shouldn't be on this list. Doesn't matter how influential he was. He doesn't fit the criteria.
U haven't watched it man at all
LadyMs Moody Actually I did. And as stated, Bruce Lee was an actor way before he began studying martial arts.
What about Scott Adkins ? Iko Uwais ?
*Lethal weapon 4 appears*
Hi Bruce nice Pjs
Scott Adkins please
Donnie yen is severely underrated. Top 3 imo
Who here is martial artists? TKD practiconer right here! And to add to that, what style do you train in?? 👊🏻👊🏻😎
Scott Adkins?, Tony jaa?, dolph lundgren?
JCVD
Interesting, I just so happen finish watching Birth of a Dragon as soon as this video popped up.
Bruce Lee is the root of all martial artist action star.
I've always wondered what would have happened if Bruce Lee died would he be as iconic
Did you delete the list about got cameos?
Top 10 things top 10 lists do
Love JCVD for his akward actiing and he's not affraid to laugh at himself
Quinton "rampage" Jackson should be number one on that list for two reason 1. He is funny as fuck 2. He is one of the greatest light heavyweight mixed martial artists ever!
Dolph Lungdren, Billy Blanks, Gal Gadot?
No mention of Gina as an American Gladiator? Crush was awesome!
and you missed that he was excellent dancing contest champion as well and a philosopher
Jet Li is The One
What about Tex Cobb.
Wu jing/ Jason Wu shall make the list soon
Shouldn't Jackie Chan be on here?
Marcelo Saunders As Jackie stands, he never was a fighter, he was an acrobat and Chinese theater actor
EmmanuelGS78 okay. thanks for clearing things up
Same what about jackie chan
Where's Dolph Lundgren???
Chuck Norris is every place from 10 to -infinity
why was there no mention of his fucking Total Gym ffs watch mojo hahhaha
Bruce Lee starred his movie career back when he was a 3 months old in "Golden Gate Girl" (金門水）and by the age of 20 he already appeared in 20 movies, the most iconic one was a movie from 1950 called "The Kid" (細路祥）which he was one of the main characters and he was 10 years old at that time. By the time he met Ip Man he was already 16 years old. So maybe he doesn't belong in this list?
And Bruce Lee never competed professionally h
At 8:58 I shouted "yeahhhhh Bruce leee"
Then my father yelled at me "whats wrong with you"
I showed this video to me
He shouted louder than me
What about Jackie?
No Steven Segal? This list is incomplete
sandy89107 fuck that fat ass fraud
ferraro38 he's no more a fraud than Bruce Lee
Better filmography than Randy Couture and in the beginning the guy was a decent action star
He was the first guy to "ever" i mean "ever" Gaijin (Stranger) to set up a Dojo for Aikido in Japan
frank castle I don't think you know what a fraud is once again sir you are a dumbass
CHUCK NORRIS SHOULD BE #1!!!!!!!!
Why is Donnie Yen so underrated?
Did you guys forget to mention that Donnie Yen was in ROGUE ONE?!? LIKE HELLO?!?
It take a tough man to get your ass kicked by Bruce Lee, much respect Chuck Norris.
You didn't mention Rogue One for Donnie Yen.
If you'd have called Bruce Lee a fraud to his face, he'd have given you a 10 piece combo ending with a flying wind kick to the chest before you even knew what the fuck just happened.
