Nothing really comes close to his roles in Drunken Master, Supercop, or Mr. Nice Guy. I know he's older now and those kinds of stunts take their toll, but if that's the case he should retire from martial arts movies, and focus on honing his acting skills rather than participating in substandard Kung Fu flicks.

I would agree with the latter, but it's only in the last few years. Dude is almost 60. 45 when Shanghai Noon was released (some great stunts in there as well). I would say his first few movies after coming to hollywood were just stunt packed. Sliding down that huge flag thing in Rush Hour was craziness.
