Donnie's character is so powerful in every movie they had to blind him to nerf him a little bit.

This man is one of the all time great martial artists in film.. His work is astonishing.

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

[whiteegger]

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 .

Donnie was UNREAL in John Wick 4. Such a bonafide badass, every scene with him in it was golden.

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.

Donnie has so much charisma and poise. He’s magnificent in all the characters that he’s played!

[bloodyhellism]

He killed it in this role. Just amazing!

[JaceBarretto]

Donnie killed it in John Wick 4... even eating noodles.

This guy is 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!

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.

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!

Donnie is a legend, an amazing artist and martial artist. I don’t think Jimmy has seen much of his work.

[Native-Kitty]

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. ❤❤

[stinsonko]

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.

[biohazarduncovered]

Donnie Yen is a beast... Flashpoint still my favourite of his films.

[francoisnel]

Great to see Donnie getting the recognition he deserves. Was perfect in Ip Man series.

[Andreaswarren]

Donnie Yen is such a class act and martial artists genius. His choreography is poetry in motion.

[HENZI-cvre]

0:56 that chain punching as he sits down. 😏

[Positivityofficial]

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
