summary
- statham and donnie yen got it lucky but they were never even 1/2 of the rest of the other guys
-donnie yen wasted his youth - good loving family, good income, martial arts expert parents, yet he abused that luxury until he turned a new leaf after joing the wushu team
really ayam kenot understand you millenials meng-agung2kan doniyen and seriously looking down at jekicham
peak jekicham / jetli > peak donnie easily
