I think you'll find it's rarely the martial artist who determines the action.
It's the writers, producers, directors & a few technicians on the cutting groom floor.
Rarely do the martial artists actually agree with what airs, unless they've had a hand in the production of the film & even then it's only a small vote.

Scottishlass: Why is it after a martial arts fighter makes a few really great movies with fantastic fight scenes, they seem to tone down the fight scenes.
I think I wasn't very clear on my meaning.
"Tone down" was the wrong choice of words, what I mean is after the first few movies where they really show their fighting skills, in subsequent movies there is less & less of the fight scenes and the ones they do have are shorter & not as good as in the first movies they made.

Cutting groom floor. How clever an observation.
I am not a big fan of many martial art movies, strictly on the basis of reality, or at least on trying to make it look real. I also have trouble getting past many of the real martial artists acting abilities. I prefer to watch to real competitions, such as UFC, Pride or TKO in Canada.

However, I was very disappointed with the fight scenes.
Why is it after a martial arts fighter makes a few really great movies with fantastic fight scenes, they seem to tone down the fight scenes.
It happened with Steven Segal, Van Dam, Jackie Chan, now Jet Li & Jason Statham, I know there are others, I just can't think of their names right now. Is it because they are getting older? The main reason I like these movies is for the martial arts fight scenes.
I bet if Bruce Lee or his son Jason were still alive they wouldn't cut down on their fight scenes.
