This Ong Bak scene is one of the ultimate fights/stunt scenes of all time. A continuous 4 minute display of brutal steadicam brilliance

Where's Jackie Chan?

The greatest action star of ALL TIME has not one movie on this list? The stuntmen interviewed for this article need to sign up for Netflix and rent the entire "Police Story" series, now. Not to mention any other Jackie Chan HK movie from the late 70s through the early 80s. "Ong-Bak"? Great action, but every stunt in there was cribbed from Jackie Chan. Jason Stratham? You must be kidding me.

Glad I got that out of my system.
