They are but I just thought that John Wicke was too much. I mean in Enter the Dragon he fights a LOT of people but they don't have guns - and that is Bruce Lee, the hardest man that ever lives, maybe he comes closer than anyone to getting a pass.
I can't say I'm a huge martial arts film fan, I suppose some of them have their moments and unique elements - Jackie Chan is more like Charlie Chaplin in a sense and doesn't always win for example, you have those Chinese ones where they fly around on wires and stuff, you have Ong Bak where it's the opposite of that with him really doing all his own stunts for real, there are probably even some that have a plot if I put my mind to it. There is that bit in Old Boy where he has a fight with - I dunno - ten people in a tunnel but it sort of looks real. There are ways of doing it and being good.
I think yeah the superhard hero guy can beat five people or whatever, but when they're all pointing guns at him? And it happens again and again?
I did think that The Raid was pretty tedious though. I liked Dredd which was kinda similar, but the baddies in that were good and made the jeopardy seem real.
