I gotta go with Kirk against Chan. Chan begins to make his move but Kirk begins speaking in his slow, halting, melodramatic manner, confusing Chan. Chan, trying to understand what is being said, is mesmerized, giving Kirk time to attack Jackie Chan with a two pronged attack of the "Jim Kirk," double clasped hammer fist technique, followed quickly by the Vulcan Death Grip to Jackie's neck. If Kirk can beat the Commando, Jackie never had a chance.
* language, not speech in one's case, but I was on a roll
I will have to agree with Jason, if the fellow Capn could beat the commando, Chan doesnt have a chance...
@ Jason - I like your argument re Kirk over Chan. probably should have read that prior to voting...

"Khahhhhhnnnnnnnnnnn! Khahhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!"
Chan attempts to defeat Kirk by tossing random items of furniture at the Captain but Kirk easily dodges these fast moving projectiles despite the fact that he has a lady on one arm and is wearing a newly starched uniform. The fight continues...
And yes, it is a superior fighting style. Kirk is like McClane without the obvious toughness and "never quit" attitude. Without the "Jim Kirk", he'd have nothing to even refer to as a bit of style at all. Let's be honest. This should be about what's right and who's a Bad Ass, not some popularity contest. Save that for the Presidential race.
I would point out that The One True Action hero has all those qualities you mentioned, of course. Jim T. only has the one signature move, as I have pointed out before. I disagree with the VDG, since it would be unfair to take it away from Spock, who as you may recall was actually a bigger bad ass than Kirk, though I suppose not so much of a ladies man. (Although his younger, reborn self did poke Kirstie Allie before she was eaten by the crazy beast that stole her name, so that's worth something.)
Don't get me wrong; Kirk is cool. He's simply not as bad ass as Jackie.
Jackie has also always been able to poke fun at himself, which Shatner has only recently learned to do.
And as for Shatner making fun of himself, have you never heard his "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"? Or seen his "Rocketman"? He's *always* been willing to poke a little fun.
