The Van Damme Spin Kick Vs The Chuck Norris Round House Kick

[Tetsanosuke]

I'm a little unsure if this will get 'auto-tagged' as spam, but I'm seriously curious. With all the Chuck Norris jokes about how his signature round house kick can do so much, this came to mind when I caught the end of a Van Damme movie and noticed that in almost all of his movies he also has his own signature way of 'spin kicking'.

Seriously, which is better? The Jean-Claude Van Damme spin kick, or the Chuck Norris round house kick? Why? And for what (even if not so scientifically right) reason?

chuck Norris is dead Bruce lee broke his neck

Hmmm....let's see.

A: Van Damme's Spin Kick

or

B: Norris' Roundhouse Kick

Correct answer: NEITHER!!!!

It was C: Bruce Lee's Howler Monkey Scream

Both are stupid. I go with Jason Statham.

This scene sums up why Steven Segal is the awesomest of them all. Seriously. I'd like to see anyone other than Segal shoot down a military chopper with a handgun. You can't even do that in Half-Life.

Neither, both are goofballs. I'd rather vote for the "Hurricane Kick"

Preachy anti-transhumanist propaganda.

So far, this is how the thread's going.

This means we're going to choose other ridiculous types of kicks instead of the two mentioned.

[Baka]

I don't like either. It's all about ETOROFU WHALE PUNCH!!!

[Tetsanosuke]

They both starred in a lot of American action flicks. That's the basic outline.

So no one even wants to try and compare the options to one another, rather, compare them to other- not allotted options. Interesting. xD

In whatever case I must say, Steven Segal shooting down a helicopter (with a pistol) is amazing. But has Mr Segal ever used the 'Falcon Kick'?

[Dr. Hax]

Norris sucks, plain and simple...

The jokes made him horrible. In addition, he had to learn from Lee to become what he is now.

[Igloo Riley]

Norris is well... a terrible actor. He oozes "machismo" I think it is called, so much so he ends up looking like a flake.

Van Damme...another terrible actor again...in MY opinion.
I heard that he used to be into ballet, nothing wrong with that I suppose but it dose make his kicking style look...gay, if I can use that in a non derogatory way no bashing or anything here. Silly is what they are, I wonder if he has any real martial arts background, other than the crazy flexibility.

I vote for none of them

That's cool and all, but has Steven Segal ever gone on a killing rampage with a drug in his system that required him to be in a constant adrenaline rush least his heart stop working, forcing him to do such things as beat up black people for no reason and have sexual relations with his girlfriend in public as Asian schoolgirls watch? He then survives skydiving without a parachute only to acquire an artificial heart that requires him to constantly electrocute himself. More killing rampages ensue.

The best part about Statham is that he's actually a decent actor (see: Bank Job), he just does action movies because he's incredibly awesome.

FOOLS! FALCON PUNCH!!! defeats all!

FOOLS! FALCON PUNCH!!! defeats all!

But the Falcon Punch is so situational and chance based (It's really hard to hit with it in Brawl.) , although you can manliness points for doing it.

I'll go with the ever cool, fiery, flaming, butterfly kick (I -think- it's a butterfly kick) that Tony Jaa does in Ong Bak.

Falcon Punch is only useful for emergency abortions.

Or grocery shopping. Sometimes it just gets in the way while you play Monkey Ball.

Yes, Bruce Lee pwns them both....at the same time....with both arms and a leg tied behind his back....

But that's the problem! Action movies are supposed to star people with only one facial expression following a plot that might as well have been made up on the fly.

That's the thing, he has those qualities too. He gets a remarkable amount of mileage out of his one facial expression, can act, and stars in movies in which, to use one example, feature the villains as an evil nurse and a random Mafioso who has infected the drug czar's son with an incurable virus to kill off all of the anti-drug agencies head honchos at a meeting, and can only be stopped by their chauffeur/special forces vet (Jason Statham).
