OneFiercePuppy: Ah, no wire-fu, and need physical humor like Jackie Chan? That does put a hard "no" on those suggestions of mine, yeah. Have you seen Tony Jaa's movie "The Protector"? You *might* like it. It's funny not because it set out to be funny but because it's an excess of set-piece violence. There's one scene with about a hundred men (your mention of that in Drunken master reminds me) that amounts to a tutorial on Muay Thai limb manipulation. And the entire premise (this is only spoiling the intro during the opening credits, it's not much of a spoiler) is that a guy's elephant is kidnapped and so he goes on a revenge spree. Sort of like a Thai predecessor to John Wick.
Have you seen Bedazzled, with Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley? It's only sort of a rom-com, it's funny without trying way too hard (like many Brendan Fraser movies do). It's not challenging. Elizabeth Hurley is the devil. If you hate Fraser, give it a pass, he's got like 60% of the screen time.
Oh no, I don't think I've ever found Jackie Chan funny either, I just happen to like his fight scenes. I never watched The Protector, I had a friend that did capoeira and he loathed how it was presented in that movie and it kinda kept me away. I have watched Ong Bak, and tried to watch the second, the fight choreography is fun, but I think Tony Jaa lacks a certain je ne sais quoi to carry a movie on his own.
Even if they're not quite my style the suggestion might help someone else reading this.
Have you ever watched Chocolate? It's a thai movie about an autistic girl who learns martial arts by watching Bruce Lee and Tony Jaa movies, then she uses it to fight the Yakuza and make money to help her sick mother.
I did watch Bedazzled, it's a really fun movie. Especially the drug dealer and basketball sequences.
