Donnie Yen's First MMA Movie Came WAY Sooner Than You Think
Donnie Yen helped pioneer MMA in martial arts films, but he did much earlier than many realize with 1989’s In The Line of Duty IV. Yen shot to global stardom by leading the Ip Man kung fu movie franchise, but his career goes back much further into the ‘80s. Hong Kong movies like Iron Monkey and Once Upon A Time In China II made Yen a rising martial arts star, while the early 21st century saw him beginning to appear in Hollywood movies like Blade II and Shanghai Knights.
