The most frustrating part of the movie, everytime I see that scene I am screaming like Frank is for Jackson to stop posing and finish him!

reply

The scene is just like the old WWF wrestling matches. Jackson starts celebrating too soon and allows his opponent to stage a comeback.

One word: duh. Frustrating as it may be, we all know the main villain wasn't going to be defeated by anyone but Van Damme.


You want something corny? You got it!

It would have been an interesting plot twist for Frank to have to fight Jackson in the final match. They could have also had a subplot where Chong Li psychologically deals with getting humbled before making the finals.

reply

I actually think Chong Li was just toying with him to make the loss more devastating.

No, I think Jackson really did get him off guard. He knew Jackson was tough, but he didn't imagine he was that strong. So as soon as he could Chong punched right for the throat and did all the dirty fighting he could to finish it quickly.

The thing is, Jackson had no martial arts experience. He was obviously just relying on his sheer brute strength and size. I think he took Chong Li by surprise with his strength. But of course, he started showboating and then got his ass kicked. Like the previous poster said, it obviously had to be JCVD that takes Chong Li out but I think it would have been cool to see Jackson beat Li, then the last two fighters left be Dux and Jackson. That would've been a cool fight to see. But they were friends, so they can't fight each other, blah blah blah.

Another fight that showed Chong Li wasn't all that he was cracked up to be.

What!!! You are necks!

Paco would have mopped the floor with him.

When Chong Li gives Jackson the face stomp finishing move, he also gives the viewers one of the greatest facial expressions ever. And in slow motion. Bonus!
