This man is one of the all time great martial artists in film.. His work is astonishing.
Facts
Not one of the, he is the greatest.
He is the master of Bruce Lee
Donnie Yen isn't too bad either!
@@TheSomeRocks Fully agree
Indeed!
Donnie's character is so powerful in every movie they had to blind him to nerf him a little bit.
That's facts as much as I love keanu reeves they had to nerd him so he doesn't outshine him
True !!
And yet his character in this movie still very OP...
Yes they did (morpheus voice)
Yeah, what is up with that? 😂
Donnie was UNREAL in John Wick 4. Such a bonafide badass, every scene with him in it was golden.
That windup punch was surreal
Watch a fantastic movie "Spl 2005". Donnie fight a fatty criminal Sammo Hung just like John Wick fights 'fatty' Scott Adkins)
Guy moves so fast and flawless!😊
He has charisma in that. Not only action scenes
I love don yen 💴 in Swahili thamani ya pesa ya china yenye kiwango Cha juu
He is so good in JW 4. Not only great actions but also a fairly interesting character. I hope they make the spin off on him they teased in the post credit of JW4 .
That would be awesome
I hope so too
Him, scott adkins, mark dacascos, yayan ruhian, basically all MMA and martial artists in the series deserve a spinoff. Too bad they all had to die by john wick
Your wish came true!
Just came here after hearing official Spin off is on thr floor
It’s official they Announced the spin off Caine
Looking forward to it
Donnie has so much charisma and poise. He’s magnificent in all the characters that he’s played!
I thought his name was Ronnie the d must be a oops C.
Take my heart
He also sold out his people in Hong Kong for police brutality and CCP
I love that Donnie and Michelle are now getting the recognition they deserve doing action while also showcasing the new stuff they learned as actors. They never really had much attention during the era of Jackie and Jet so this is a great thing to see.
Jackie Chan has been Pro CCP since 1997. He's no way near as good as Donnie.
Actually DY been on the scene for much longer than you realize.
He always gets his recognition.
Idk about Michelle tho
Michelle who?
@@railtus5433 Michelle Yeoh. She won an Oscar man! Get with the times.
Butterfly and Sword, all time fave..
Donnie is 59 this year yet still looks like he’s in his 30s. He started practicing Tai Chi at a very young age and have kept it up till this day. Just a food of thought what discipline can do for u it’s amazing. Loved this man
Healthy and happy lifestyle
wait what 59?? i was thinking late 40´s...well from looks even younger
Is he actually 60 years old this July coming. Guy is a physical marvel!
Yeah bcz he didn't eat hamburger
you can do all of that self love when you have money
He killed it in this role. Just amazing!
he killed who?
Was incredible
???: (Handing a bullet)
Remember your daughters..
Donny: F*** off
This killed me lolololol
Agree, his acting was top tier
He killed a lot of people in this role 🤪
Donnie killed it in John Wick 4... even eating noodles.
This guy is sooooo talented. Absolutely blew me away in JW4. I feel so ashamed of myself that I haven't seen him in more stuff. Donnie is the man!
Watch ip man 1,2,3 and 4 you will be blown by the fight scenes
You don’t know Ip man? Mr. Wick was lucky donie was blind
Watch him in all ip man plus once upon a time in China 2 Where he fight Jet Li.
check out his movies Flashpoint and SPL
after I discovered him I watched every movie of his I could find. Lot's on Prime Video.
The man is just amazing. I am so happy Americans got to see and appreciate him
Donnie is a legend, an amazing artist and martial artist. I don’t think Jimmy has seen much of his work.
Agree
yea, jimmy looked really akward here
I swear i can't wait to see cane parody
Donnie deserved a foreign film OSCAR for the 1st IP MAN movie. It was incredibly good.
In my view one of the best Asian films ever made, where ACTING and story were at the same level as the incredible martial arts and stunts.
Also, lets appreciate that the best action movies feature men pushing 60 that look 20 years younger. Tom Cruise, Donnie Yen, Keanu Reeves.
Same with IP Man second movie also great sequel
You spoke my heart man
I think that if he hasn't already, Donnie is going to get awards eventually anyways.
He's a great actor.
I agree, the softness and ability he portrayed Ip Man was magnificent. Not even having to show any change on the face while fighting, effortless.
💯
Donnie and Jackie are the reasons why I stay fit and do some martial arts training because I grew up watching their films during the early 2000s.
@@CoryPchajek stand up dude?
Been watching Jackie Chan films since the 90’s
@@CoryPchajek no one cares
Looks like a nice guy, hard worker, a legend BUT he ain't got the face for a bad guy, he's not threatening in any way. That's what makes him different I guess.
@@CoryPchajek Donnie has very close ties to the CCP. There's a reason there was a petition to keep out of the Oscars. He's not the person you think he is.
Donnie Yen is such a class act and martial artists genius. His choreography is poetry in motion.
So much respect for Donnie Yen! I literally almost watched all his movies! So humble and plays really well with other big Stars!
I'm so happy Donnie Yen is still going strong, I still remember watching him in movies like Iron Monkey, Once Upon a Time in China, Dragon Tiger Gate.. He's definitely one of the greats for martial arts films😃 Can't wait to watch John Wick 4!
You will love it!😊
I watched it yesterday !! And ngl, his character is probably the best in the entire series, almost on par with Baba Yaga himself.
ok. now will watch this movies cuz i only saw ip man for him
Iron monkey is a classic!!
Me too,that Times ,WE in crew,all tools bad coz capitol now upgrade.nice results wat they show to people..in covid WE resign.
Great to see Donnie getting the recognition he deserves. Was perfect in Ip Man series.
True
Stole the show in RogueOne as well. The way Donnie moves is so damn cool - makes all those crazy sequences look effortless and natural.
I’ve always been a fan of Donnie Yen. The guys a legend. Much love from the Midwest
The midwest of were?
Probably Minnesota
Donnie is an opportunist. Zero respect
Does that mean that there's an anti-Democracy/pro-genocide part of the Midwest?
@@tryingtotryistrying don’t bother engaging with a troll comment. He just wants to get a reaction.
I LOVE me some Donnie Yen! He’s my absolute favorite modern martial arts actor. I been watching his films since the 90’s and they NEVER disappoint. ❤❤
He was against Jet Li as in final fight "once upon a time in China 2" Also "Hero" In 2002
Lol he hates those films cause alot had anti CCP overtones, now that's he a CCP dog
Did you say since the 90s, which movie he acted in in the 90s you know???
@@OGA_SUNNY Iron Monkey 1 and 2, Wing Chun, Highlander: Endgame… a bunch of them
@@Native-Kitty wow! So he was the one in iron monkey 🐒, awesome my best movies that year, I watch like 3 to 4 times a day
I work in a cruise and he was one of the guests on board, I cant believe I served him drink and standing close to him! He was very humble and nice in person.
Donnie Yen is a beast... Flashpoint still my favourite of his films.
still the best fight scenes ever.... terrible story but top shelf fights
Dude the choreography in that film is amazing. I recommend Kung Fu Killer as well. Amazing fight scenes as well.
Yes u r right sequence sence
Yes! Flashpoint fight scene is one of the best! 💪🏻
Donnie Yen, almost 60. Moves like he's still in his 20's.
We Asian aged slower than other people 😂
whaaat... i thought he's in his mid 40 to 50...
@@Amaking10000 Well you look younger that's for sure. I have a Japanese friend who's in her 40's like I am, but could still pass for someone in her mid 20's
@@Amaking10000 know a Asian guy who’s 40 and already has back problems. Then there’s a white guy who’s nearly 50 who does callisthenics.
Asians age in terms of their looks slower.
Donnie Yen is just an amazing actor and comes across as such a kind and humble man. One of my all time favourite actors ❤
You are so smart. He is CPPCC. The top CCP member. Just give him Oscar. Why do not let him become the US president?
He keeps him self very fit and active , I truly respect his craft and love seeing him act amazing actor and fighter
Have loved Yen's work for years! His action sequences are the best!
What about his work for Xi Jinping?
@@rickyd-lux9067Everyone works 😮 for Xi Jinping, including Biden!
@@rickyd-lux9067 I like him even more now
He's one of my favorite martial arts actor. Good to see him still doing action movies. Can't wait for John Wick 4
Donnie Yen is genuinely one of the greats!
I am sorry to say that He has been notorious as he condemned HongKong pertest and supports the CCP
@Derrek Lee a chinazi support is not exactly the same as sucking at politics, just say'n 🙄
@Derrek Lee you mean you're happy when ppl calling him great, but can't tolerate someone stating facts about CCP advocate?
@Derrek Lee wow the rare intelligent human being here
@@yancyliu8758 stupid! Keep politics out of movies
I love how Donnie Yen mixes getting dressed dancing and kicking. Awesome. What a legend!💪👊
Funny thing is, that's exactly how I pictured Donnie getting dressed every day. Just punching his way into shirts, kicking into shoes and pants... making it look easy as always.
Yeah...some HK movie was cringe like that back then.
That was in the 80s during aerobic and breakdance craze with synth music. The action director asked him to mix martial arts in it so he improvised
That film, "Mismatched Couples," is actually about breakdancing and was created by Yuen Woo-Ping (yes, the famous action choreographer who did all those crazy fight scenes in the US during the 2000s) as a showcase for Donnie because he (Donnie) was actually a breakdancer as well as martial artist. It's a fun flick if you don't go into looking just for kung fu fights--though, there are some of course. Almost more of a romantic comedy.
every chinese dress that way every morning
You can imagine Hong Kong is a tinny small city with 7 million population but it has created many global stars over the years.
vision
Jackie, Donnie and Michelle are my favourite Martian Artist heroes of all time. Donnie came back to do JW4 and him and Keanu are like the best duo in an action film
Yep , China has conquered Mars too. ;) jk
hes also my favourite martian artist but Jet Li is my favourite Lunar artist
3 of the most hated actors in Asia especially in Hong kong
Hell yes!!! Glad to see him getting more overdue exposure in the States.
I am sorry to say that He has already been notorious as he condemned HongKong pertest and support the CCP
@@yancyliu8758 you just don't knowvjis movies
Who’s to say it’s notorious or not. He’s an entertainer. Politics is another topic. And this is an entertainment video.
@@Zac0827 Sorry to hear from you. Could you please tell Jimmy kammel: don't talk about January 6th on Oscars reward. Tell him entertaiment is not Politics. Tell him OK man?
@@yancyliu8758 so you are basically against anyone with an opposing opinion. Sounds like you are who you hate.
This guy is a legend
Just here to show Donnie love! He's simply amazing in every movie he does. I was so excited when I heard he was going to be in John Wick and he really killed it (as always) 🔥 hope we get a chance to see him play Caine again
I'm a huge fan of Donnie Yen! He did a great interview here!! So proud of him
I first saw Donnie Yen in Yuen Woo-ping’s Iron Monkey and it’s been one helluva crazy ride, from playing sidekicks, to SPL with Sammo Hung, the famous Ip Man movies and now to John Wick. Now that both Jackie and Jet are old and slowing down, Donnie has stepped up to the throne and proven his star quality, even though he’s nearing 60 years old.
True
Donnie Yen is a freaking legend man, so much respect for him and I’m thrilled to see he’s developing mainstream recognition in the States
Not for long if war breaks out he will be banned seeing as he a massive CCP supporter and promoted police and army brutality during the clampdown in HK the place that made him
He's very humble during interviews
Totally different from his real personality
@@masakazuishiguro8525He is a real gentleman. I met him a few times in real life, always giving time to his fans and really down to earth. He is the Asian John Wick. don't spread hate, idiot
His nick name in real life is "strongest in the universe" , referring to both Kung fu and ego.
He has mellowed in recent years. He used to have a reputation for being arrogant and egotistical in his younger days
Maybe too humble. Jimmy didn't know what in the world to say to this legend.
This man never gets old😂
I loved his role in JW4. It’s new it’s not cliche and really he gets to show his martial art skills and it was a important role for the plot! Love love love JW4!
I'm always overwhelmed at your heart melting words. Your words goes a long way ❤️.
Watch a fantastic movie "Spl 2005". Donnie fight a fatty criminal Sammo Hung just like John Wick fights 'fatty' Scott Adkins)
The IpMan movies Donnie did are some of my favorites! His fight scene with Jet Li in “Hero” is an incredible scene! I’m looking forward to watching this latest movie!
this is better fight scene than "Heroes"
EVM7nDmXqPA&t=259s
Try watching Sha Po Lang Donnie Yen vs Wu Jing. That was one crazy fight scene.
At the time, Jet Li was the one to persuade the director of Hero to bring Donnie Yen into the movie. That actually ended up giving Donnie Yen's career a boost.
He is amazing !! Is a shame that the Oscar’s awards never have him one for Ip man
One of the greatest martial arts series of all time too.
He has other way better movies than ip man
Which of his movies are way better than Ip Man?
@@mortenolsen1111 iron monkey. 10 times better than all ip man movies combined. SPL. FLASHPOINT. 14 blades. Bodyguards and assassins. Seven swords. Hero.
I am sorry to say that He has already been notorious as he condemned HongKong pertest and support the CCP
I loved him in John Wick 4! He was excellent in IP Man too.
If you're curious, that clip in the end is a breakdancing/80s hip-hop/b-boy movie called Mismatched Couples with 22 yr old Donnie Yen.
Watching young Donnie Yen dancing in that clip is so nostalgic. I remember being a little girl watching that movie and I thought this actor is so cool and after that, I’ve been a huge fan of his. Have always love Hong Kong cinema and tvb dramas.
When Donnie smiles, i just feel better in life.
Donnie Yen & Jet Li were my childhood; even their first early work. I watched their movies more than American movies when I was a kid.
That hero vs😢❤
Absolute scene stealer in John Wick. Seriously such a great character
He definitely outperformed Reeves in all aspects of this film, from acting to stunts. He had the most interesting character in this film as well.
Most of you don't know Donnie's earlier movies. From the 90's etc.
This dude is amazing for making movies. His skill. Not in martial arts. But film making is legendary.
Respect to Donnie.
My god.. he doesn't change much since my childhood 🙀.. so fit, agile, and charismatic 👍
One of the greatest martial artists of all time...
Wow he still looks amazing,such a legend
Everyone got to know Donnie yen when john wick 4 was released....but I used to watch his chinese movies since 2008
This is a multitalented actor. Besides being a martial arts specialist, he is also a great pianist!
For anyone who only know him from American movies, I suggest you try to find Donny Yen in a tv series called Fist of Fury, another adaptation of the classic Bruce Lee movie Chinese connection. His acting in that was great not only his fighting skills. Also The Kung Fu master tv series was great also. I became a fan when I accidently catch those series as a kid.
Jet Li also did the movie version Fist of Legend... Check it out
He was against Jet Li as a bad guy in final fight "once upon a time in China 2"
Yep, the Fist of Fury series is the one in which I notice that Donnie Yen is not just another generic Hong Kong martial arts actor, he can really act
and Flashpoint
Love him since Ip Man! One of the rare martial artist alive!
For me since Iron Monkey, but IP Man was a masterpiece.
Love him since tai chi.
I've been following Donnie Yen's films since the 90's! The man is a legend.
I absolutely loved blind-fu. What a unique film. Probably the best I've seen in a long time.
I just saw the movie. And I got to say. Whoever came up with the idea of Cain using motion sensitive doorbells as a means of Cains echolocation is a goddamn genius.
After watching Cain in action. I doubt even Daredevil could actually beat this guy without some kind of plot armor. I always wondered who would be considered a peer for John Wick. And Cain was that answer.
Yen was amazing.
My late eldest daughter was big fan of Donny Yen. I only know Jet Li and Jackie Chan but when my daughter introduced me to Donny Yen's movie ; am so awed and then now am a fan of him .
I'm sure she would've loved to see this movie ❤
Yes, indeed she would. My late daughter was a movie lover and she was the one that always would bring me out to watch any new movie in the theater. I missed her a lot.
My daughter died 3 yrs ago aged 39 after giving birth to her one znd only daughter 😢
@@zainonmonza3500 now you have to raise your grand daughter watching donny yen 😊
@@zainonmonza3500 My condolences. May you and your family find peace 🙏🏻
Donnie Yen in Mismatched Couples was my introduction to him and loved him ever since. At one point he seemed to have disappeared from acting altogether, but I'm glad he's back and getting roles in Hollywood, and still kicking. I would've thought he may have past his prime getting back in so late but obviously that's not the case as proven in the Ip Man series, SPL and now John Wick 4
I seen only like 20 mins of Mismatched Couples...I don't know why I won't watch the whole movie.🤷♂😆
mine was Iron Monkey :)
@@ghost7524 it's so retro and fun, it was also one of my first donnie yen movies and i've loved it ever since... I totally recommend special I.D and flashpoint.
@@tedflips1501 I love Flashpoint!
@@ghost7524Flashpoint is my favorite movie he did, has the best fight scenes
Just watched it. It was my favorite of the 4. Every aspect is AMAZING !
I feel like if this was jimmy fallon, the conversation would be less awkward
Donnie is an amazing actor. None of his movies were ever bad and that shows how much talent he has. He's pretty much the Tom Cruise of Hong Kong and China.
Lovin Donnie's outfit, very vintage - early 2000's era look❤❤
He looks like an import racer wearing JNCO's lol.
@@SurpriseMeJT nah man 😂😂 those jeans are wayyy to hilarious. Donnie's look fine
"I didn't wanna hurt anybody" - Donnie Yen 2023
I became familiar with Donnie Yen from the Ip Man movie franchise and ever since then I have been a fan of every film I have seen him in. Great actor for sure :-)
Check out once upon in china part 2, Donnie showdown with jet li is just epic!
check out donnie yen's first movie. I forget the name but it has to do with TaiChi. I doubt there are any subtitles but you don't need it to understand the movie.
Recommend SPL (aka KillZone) and Flashpoint too for hard-hitting action.
Just watched John Wick 4 and as much of a fan of Keanu as i am Donnie really stole the movie for me, he was so damn good it must’ve been hard playing a blind assassin character, loved him in the Ip man movies too
He was so badass! I watched this movie 3 times at the cinema only because of him!!!
ooh yes and I can't wait until Ip Man 5 comes out!! yeah you read right lol
0:56 that chain punching as he sits down. 😏
I've watched all Donnie's movies when I was a kid and its all awesome AF,one of my fave movie of his is Dragon Tiger Gate.
the supremely underrated Donnie Yen. He should be in more Big budget action films in Hollywood
He had a small but cool role in Blade 2, alongside Walking Dead's Norman Reedus.
Only from Americans. He’s mega among Asians
Rumor has it that they are trying to get Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, and/or Jet Li in Shang-Chen and The Legend of the 10 Rings sequel.
@@selenaphillips6971 it won't happen, these actors are part of CCP and with war brewing they won't be able to make films in the west
Jimmy talking to Donny like it's Donny's first time in Hollywood.
For real 😩
First time seeing this man Donnie Yen, he is very handsome.
I hate clicking on Jimmy Kimmel videos , but wanted to see this actor speak , his action scenes in wick 4 was amazing
Donnie Yen! He was wonderful as a Jedi in Star Wars Rogue One ❤
He's so humble, love this man!
Been following/watching his movies for over 25 years and this man's a legend back in Asia... oh yeah and this dude moves like a 25 year old when he's almost 60!
A man who can fracture Mike Tyson🥊 finger 🤟...is a certified BADASS...💀💀💀
Donnie is so positive and thoughtful. Kimmel isn't very funny in this clip though, he seemed rude.
I love this man, What an action star.
Master Ip!! The GOAT.
If you understand Cantonese, you're going to love the "Pokai Hamkachan" part. The subtitles didn't explain it so accurately. It's an instant classic, and and epic scene.
He stole the show with this line and the F off line! Hah
I died and then keanue said it LOOOOL.
Nice to see some canto rep.. our swearing is fun godly level
I love that scene, especially when John Wick repeats the same line.😂
Mike Tyson with 5 thumbs on both hands 😅
Savage!
Blind Fury1989 was awesome with Rutger Hauer playing a blind fighter.With great fight scene with Sho Kosugi
Awesome 80's flick😊
What a legend. My dad was a massive fan of him
My man dresses so classic! I love him. Always have and always will be a big fan of him. No one could ever be like Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Bruce was the one tho I love all those guys but they all looked up to Bruce so you can’t leave him out of that list respectfully
@@vnthony2439 true i grew up watching bruce lee
No one could ever be like them cause 3 of them are bad person in real life
We HongKonger know much about it and you guys from US just admire them so much 🤮🤮 lmfao
His outfit in this show remind me of his character in flashpoint
Tony Jaa is badass too… he belongs in this company as great martial art talent.. see “The Protector” if you have not
Donnie Yen never get old, He's look 30 not 59 like anyone else
He looks good but not 30. He looks like a healthy and fit guy in his early 50’s, with a somewhat questionable hairline and hair colour :)
And moves like he's still in his 20's
wait hes 59 ?? i thought he was in his mid 40s
I was going to guess 39
@王KINGSLAYER yep he is 59 and he will be 60 this year
I really like him. A very humble person.
Honestly gotta say Donnie, stole the scene in every frame he was in. Best part of John wick 4
I remember his character in Rouge One was a blind man. Hes also a blind man in John Wick 4. Glad he brought that back because I wanted more of it!
Try to find one of his movie, his a blind Assassin too
Donnie Yen is still going strong and doesn't seem to be at his peak yet. He keeps on rising to the top becoming the best action star in the world! Respect to this man for giving a great spotlight to asians!
Donnie Yen is an underrated Legend!!!! So glad he is getting more recognition since Ip Man!!!!
From Hong Kong action action star to worldwide global phenomenon... what a journey he has been...
he too good. absolute amazing actor.
His work is always phenomenal, John Wick guys is beyond amazing ❤❤❤
He was amazing, great acting from him in John Wick
Have you chick seen the film yet?
WOW ! Donnie Yen finally on an American late night talk show ! 😲
Donnie is an extraordinary martial artist 👍
And even a bigger CCP Propagandist!
He is just amazing.
the next Oscar winner sensation I suppose.. the Asian love is coming in hot
He was already a few years ago for promoting Rogue One on the View and Jimmy Kimmel Show before.
he was on kimmel for rogue one
hes been on conans show before, dude
His character in this movie omggggggg brilliant ❤❤❤❤
In Real Life, Yen is a humble and unassuming guy, much like his Ip Man character.
I’ve probably seen Donnie in movies before but I had no real idea who he was before this movie. But OMG he was absolutely amazing in JW4. So much fun. The movie wouldn’t have been the same without him.
Donnie Yen was IPman (the guy who trained Bruce Lee). You might want to go back and watch all 4 of those movies…
@@apriljohnson421 Thanks! I’ve been looking into watching them.
Watch a fantastic movie "Spl 2005". Donnie fight a fatty criminal Sammo Hung just like John Wick fights 'fatty' Scott Adkins)
Was a fan of donnie before IP man, favourite movie:"Flash Point", got to contain one of the best fighting scenes ever!
