Reply to comment by bolshevik_rattlehead in What actor had the greatest opening one-two punch debut in film history? by bolshevik_rattlehead

To be fair, Jet Li was not the greatest actor, especially working in English, so they developed lots of films that just revolved around his martial arts skills and showmanship.

His agent made sure he struck while the iron was hot, at least.

As a kid I didn't care for that, I was enamored by his walk and martial arts.

But his acting and cinematography of Once Upon a Time in China is terrific.
