yep, like the rest above (don't watch neither korean and thai, I'm getting into Japanese but have yet to see any MA movies while I no longer touch
american ones as much as I used to).

Unfortunately, I think it's hard to generalize some styles via country. Is Alpha Stunts Japanese or American? I like some American choreographers like JJ
Perry, but I don't like every American choreographer- the same could really be said for ever country. I love Panna's stuff, but haven't watched any
other thai action films- same goes with Korea & Doo Hung-Jung.
I went with Hong Kong as my choice, largely because it says "Fight Choreography"- if it said stunt choreography or something like that, I might be torn between HK & Thailand. |

If we are getting into stunts too... then Thai has the coolest stunt imo.... HK has the best choreography... America has the production value.... If only
someone could combine it all....

HK would still get my vote on stuntwork - have people not seen Police Story

HK has awesome stunts, but I must admit that some of them lost their flavor after seeing some of the crazy stuff the Thai stunt guys do. In some films, every
couple moves is a contact hit or an insane throw, etc.

well, you ARE on a HK based board Shawn hahaha. Not like most people wouldn't pick it.
I dunno, topics like these are sorta useless because people will like what they like and much like Paul said, its hard to categorize something that most people can either put into generalities or specifics depending on what they perceive as "this or that" fight or stunt choreo. I mean me personally, yea i'll always go back to the HK style cuz thats what I grew on, but I find myself more in common with the Korean stuff. Yet its not like thats all I like. Theres lots of stuff I enjoy and really, it can only be categorized (if someone wants it to be) as other, because well, there is no category for liking 6 different types of fight/stunt choreo. Don't get me wrong though, its not like im bashing Shawn's curiosity, but im just talking about the general idea of such polls like this. I think stuff more like favorite fights or something is easier cuz then everybody's opinions dont get jumbled into an unnecessary "this or that style is better". Just like what ya like! If it makes ya happy, then good for you.
