I usually try to stray away and avoid such subjective topics like these, if only because I'm the sort of person who touts "he plays no favorites",
but, this is sort of fun, and you (all) drew me into this psuedo-discussion.

Tony Jaa in The Protector:
This film is so highly-rated in my book, it's near-unbelievable that I can't recall if I've re-watched it in the past year or not. The story is really one-dimensional, however, but the visual takes and nonstop fighting encounters that keep taking place on an ever-escalating basis of difficulty and importance, is what make the film exactly what it is supposed to be: a Tony Jaa one (read as: spectacular fighting sequences).

Here's the "sequel" to the above clip, from the same film (Tom-Yum-Goong ; I believe this is the "final fight"):
