10 Old-School Movie Action Heroes Who Need Rebooting

9. Lee (Enter The Dragon)

Why He Needs Rebooting: Because Enter the Dragon should have been just the start of Bruce Lee's storied Hollywood career rather than the footnote due to his untimely death. Sure, it helped cement his legacy as a martial arts icon forever more, but I could easily have imagined a whole franchise revolving around Lee's various adventures. Furthermore, there's such a crowded field of talented martial artists at the moment that this would help propel one of them to superstardom if it's done right. Who Would Play Him: Though his fighting style is absolutely nothing like Lee's, probably the most impressive cinematic martial artist these days is Tony Jaa, master of the Ong Bak and Protector franchises, who is also starring in the upcoming Fast and Furious 7. He's got enough of a cult following that audiences would likely take to him in a modified version of the original Dragon's plot, and frankly, given the tosh sequels Jaa has been starring in recently, this one might serve to fix his career.
