Alright...Chow Yun-Fat vs. Tony Leung |
Lead | |
|
Both of these guys are, indeed, "the man". My mind is constantly in turmoil over who is cooler. If you choreographed a fight scene between the two, who would you have come out on top?

Ouch, that is really too tough to call....so I'll play it safe, my money says it is a double TKO, no winner, both down and out

Watch Hard Boiled for this great coolness.
Man I love that film and I get shivers everytime I watch Tony and Ah Fat in that gun duel in the warehouse. |

ARRGGHH!!! How could I forget??
I always think of them together in the hospital shootout, but yes, they were on opposite sides in the warehouse! And didn't Chow pull the trigger on an empty chamber there? Also, I think Chow had Tony under the gun again on the sailboat before the shootout! ---Gotta watch it again tonight! |

I love Chow Yun Fat more but...
i think Tony Leung might win just by a tiny tiny bit based on acting, i loved him in Longest Nite. |

I recently watched Treasure Hunt to convince myself that Chow Yun Fat could be in a romantic role too. Man, he didn't even kiss Jacqueline Wu in the entire movie and you could feel the emotion heavy at the end...that left the whole family almost crying.
Anyway, about fight scenes...I think Chow is absolute coolness when it comes to gun fights because he had that fierce look with a upper lip purged upwards when he gets angry. No one could beat him in that...not even Tony even though I am a Tony fan. Tony is absolutely gorgeous but in a rough and tough role of shoot ups, I prefer Chow. But having said that, if it were a gun scene with angst or indecision or suffering...then pls, give me Tony....haha.... |

What do you mean??? He DOES kiss her at the end....pretty into it too....not everyday you see a Chinese movie where the characters kiss and not just put their head on the other's shoulders (like in TVB and ATV serials)

Alright, he did kiss her, but it's not the kiss that made us cry, it's his expression on his face that did it.

Tony Leung is funnier and can talk the talk better than CYF, but CYF is indeed better than Tony Leung in a wuxia style math or a gun battle (see CTHD and his John Woo movie).
Has for looks, Tony Leung got the upper hand, because he is younger. ![]() |

Chow Yun Fat - suave, charming
Tony Leung - suave, charming + handsome |

I'd say Chow Yun Fat is cooler. I don't know why, but Tony Leung looks kind of dopey to me. And i don't remember seeing him play any 'cool' character like CFY's Mark in ABT or the God of Gamblers.
On a totally unrelated note, wow 300 posts already! |

We're talking about the Yin and Yang of best actors
Tony is the master of the solemnly depressed, forced smiles. No can defeat him in that. CYF is the master of comedic, maniacal silly faces. He is hard to beat in that. Basically I think Tony excels in sad, tortured roles. While Fat Gor excels in suave coolness, action with hard to match comedy skills. |

Come now, Chow Yun Fat is a god's gift to the likes of Stephen Chow mockery
Whereas Tonnyyyy is...well just a fab actor, plus those puppy eyes that girls love so much... Oh and he did this super debut in Eagle Shooting Heroes (Weird translation btw) |

i'm partial to tony because he can really emote. his eyes and facial expressions/body language get across so much. he's very skilled.
