I've marathoned jackie movies just a while a ago, and while i like Samo Hung movies with Jackie in them, Armour of God 2 is literally the best movie ever made.

Police story 1 and 2 are really good, Wheels on Meals and Armour of God are great for the Italian semen demon and movies that Samo Hung directed and wrote are great because in them Jackie literally fucking murders people.

Jackie movies are so entertaining, i would actually say making a chart is kinda useless, since the best one is pretty individual, but they're all good

Except for the latest "serious" ones, they're fucking shit. That police story 5 or 4 or whatever where a bunch of fucking teenagers kill cops like it's nothing was the worst.

Why does no one talk about this movie when talking about JC movies? I remember really liking it when I watched it.

>>83709868
My personal favorites are Rumble in the Bronx and Mr. Nice Guy. The fight in Drunken master II in the tea house against the axe gang is probably my favorite jackie fight.

Is there any movie where he doesn't fight?

>>83711415
All i remember from DM2 is the final fight where he gets drunk on kerosene and brutalizes the other guy.

Its a really overlooked fight scene. Jackie fighting off a literal army of axe wielding dudes with whatever he can. The building just gets demolished via hand to hand combat as dudes get kicked through walls. Great camera work and use of location, and top notch stunts.

I don't wanna see more clips, I just wanna know if it's legit good because it seems to be different from the typical Jackie film.

>>83713532
Those kinds of things are my favorite parts of Jackie Chan movies.

His older movies are dubbed and even more serious things like police story have iffy plots. So acting...? I don't know what you're looking for exactly. Miracles has great action and fight scenes, more funny than brutal. But on a movie as a whole Jackie Chan movies, especially the older ones, are martial arts/stunt work porn. you watch the talking stuff to give you context for the action scenes...not that you really need the context.

>>83709868
>>83710405
>Wheels on Meals
How did they find so many Chinese speaking actors in Spain anyway? That always blows my mind.

>>83712470
THIS

You've got Sammo and Yuen Biao in there, perfect mixture of comedy and action, and a fucking great villain. Best action comedy ever made. Project A 2 has some great stunts and set pieces but no Sammo or Yuen and it's the start of Jackie sucking the mainland's dick, Police Story 1 nearly beats it out but that fucking godly mall sequence outshines everything else in the picture. PA1 is a lot more even in its set pieces. Wheels on Meals has his best fight ever but not nearly enough action.

>>83713435
It's okay. There's only like three big action scenes in the whole movie, most of it is a comedy where Jackie has to help a penniless flower lady pretend to be a high society madame when her daughter comes back from Europe to get married. It's got some lovely set design and period detail but the story's pretty slight and the humor's hit and miss. The few actual fight scenes in it are great, but he made much better movies that were far less polished but still more entertaining. You might as well just watch the Capra original if you want to see the same film but better.

>>83713729
Exactly, and this one seems to be more "context" and less action, that's why I ask. I mostly wanna see some chinamen getting hurt for a few dollars.

It was the other way around for me. Liked Jet better as a kid, now I love Jackie's movies.

>>83719279
>>83719167
It feels too, how do I say this, like they do the moves before they should?

Like the guy starts ducking before the other guy starts doing the kick, giving making it feel like those blade dances you sometimes see in martial arts showcases instead of a fight

>>83719295
I liked Jet Li in "The One" and "Fist of Legend".

>>83719335
That's pretty common and is actually considered a dance for show. You see it in the old movies where the martial art styles are literally dance moves intended to train in martial arts.

It's not suppose to be realistic. They give you a short pause to see that he has secret weapons everywhere. That gives you time to disgust what's going on. My problem with modern fight choreography is that everything moves too quickly and there are too many cuts; it's hard to follow and enjoy what's going on.

Jackie's non-western stuff is great. I think all his western stuff suffers, but thankfully all that was filmed before things got really out of hand with action cuts.

>>83718646
They're way too different. Jackie Chan is mostly about comedy, and his timing and delivery is on par with the classic slapstick of Keaton, Chaplin and Lloyd (even though the movies as a whole might not be as well crafted as Keaton's and Chaplin's best).

Has Jackie Chan ever made a movie with Stephen Chow? It'd be great if they make Kung fu Hustle 2 with both actors.

Thoughts on this film?

>>83709943
He's absolutely a rare mixture of martial arts talent, charisma, and visionary. You can not argue that at least one of his films, based on whatever metric you wish to apply, is not an overall enjoyable and appealing experience. He's a once in a generation type of personality. You can watch a majority if martial arts related movies and still be a lessor person having not seen at least one of his movies.

I know I'm replying to a troll, but you wasted your time posting this. In the extreme off chance you are being serious you need to check out his best known movies. You owe it to yourself.

If you are just trolling, take solace in knowing that at least someone is looking out for your well being, regardless. Good day, sir!

I can't remember the source, but I remember watching Jackie criticize most action films that do quick edits for most action film fights. Most of his movies are so fluid in the fact that the actors / martial artists are so choreographed and disciplined that they can hold their punches / kicks extremely well that there is no need for edits. It's a lost art in both fight choreography / editing. Most of his movies are so easy to watch because you freaking know the actors are the ones doing the fighting, and they know what they are doing. When you mix in credible acting and charisma chops you end up with movies that are very entertaining and movies that hold your attention well beyond the overall plot. These types of movies are few and far between in modern cinema.

>>83720559

Bruce Lee was the OG with bringing martial arts to the U.S. Jackie Chan took it to the next level. I'm ignorant to anyone that would dare compare the two, but both elevated the U.S.'s awareness of how awesome kung fu could be from a cinematic experience. Jet Lee was exceptional as well, but he didn't have the charismatic chops that Jackie provided and no one would say he was as technically skilled or argue he was as influential as Lee was.

>>83713328
I can't even watch half of this video without becoming angry with most of Hollywood fight scene choreographers and their laziness in comparison. I know I'm drunk responding to a ton of these posts, but, damn, it's obvious that Jackie and the teams he works with actually care about authenticity. Hollywood deserves to burn to the ground if they can't put out fight scenes that compare to even this more unknown Jackie Chan movie. It's even more depressing that the world as a whole doesn't respect this enough to imitate or improve on most of Jackie Chan's fight scenes. Fucking world has gone soft and lazy.

>>83717049
That rooftop fight is so legit

>>83719104
This anon and his link gets it. Jackie is a visionary. He takes Bruce Lee's "emotional content," along with martial arts discipline / patience, and finally, larger, broader aspect and rhythm that connect with the viewer. It all flows, feels, and blends together on so many levels that you can enjoy the entire experience without feeling left out or dumbed down throughout the shot. It's cathartic, memorable, and exhilarating at the same time. You get to experience what the actors and director are trying to convey, while not overthinking it in the process. You also don't have to suspend disbelief and acknowledge that you are doing it at all.

I love how people take hits in his movies. When he kicks a guys feet out from under him and he does a high speed face plant into the floor, or rockets across the room. Just so satisfying. It all happens so quick you hardly register it, but it just sells the combat.
Hell when you get mule kicked in the rib cage hard enough to go flying that crosses a line between "stunt" and getting kicked in yo chest, niyuggah.

I don't even know what it is about that movie but it's charming as fuck, some of the stuff looks so slapped together and generally just asian filmmaking doing hong kong shit in the US without taking advantage of it, but it's earnest all the way through, also it has one of the best gag reels he ever put together, with the broken foot and all of that.

>Jackie and the teams he works with actually care about authenticity

I honestly don't know what the situation is for hollywood filmmaking, but it appears to me that stunt teams in the west work around minimizing the risk in a particular scene while hong kong martial arts stunt teams just go straight to the assumption that someone is going to break a few bones, they don't know who or when but they need to accept that by the time they start rolling.

Jackie's said in the past one of the major problems he had making movies is that nobody wanted to insure him or his team. Imagine what the costs would be for hollywood productions...

Just got done watching Drunken Master 2. The first one was better.

>>83721378
I'm mixing things up in my head, in the commentary for Drunken Master the guy narrating is giving a bit of an early filmography for Jackie and explains some of his first few movies got their names changed, if I remember correctly including Drunken Master, but if its not Snake in the Eagle's shadow, I really don't remember what the other one would be, something about "eagle eyes" maybe? I don't remember.

>>83721601
Maybe we would get better stunt scenes if there were oscars for them. I'd love to see some "oscar baiting" for stunts, it would be kino.

>>83721393
I'm really partial to the final fight in Gorgeous, so many of his fights happen around stuff, fighting multiple people or him using props, I like this one because it was just him using simple choreography to stage a boxing match and it FEELS like a match, not a fight to the death or to stun a guy until you get to the next one, an actual fight with multiple blows between both sides. The conclusion is pretty dumb though.

https://youtu.be/c6IucizzQD8

>>83709868
Sorry plebs but Drunken Master is obviously Jackie's finest movie

>>83721601
Yes, it usually comes down to insurance and risk avoidance. I remembering hearing that an extra in Enter the Dragon broke his arm from trying to catch an actor that Bruce Lee kicked into a crowd of characters. I'm sure injuries and accidents happen fairly often; however, such costs should definitely be counted within the overall production. I don't think Hollywood has ever been, or will ever be, in modern day terms, willing to account for said costs. Rumble in the Bronx feels like the last of a golden age of said productions, and it's a total shame. It's both America's first introduction into the type of film that Jackie modernized and was the forerunner for, but it's also the last of it's kind. It's such a terrible shame.

Last movie in Hollywood that I could remember having good choreography would be Haywire.

>>83721956
>Maybe we would get better stunt scenes if there were oscars for them.
YES. It's a fucking disgrace there isn't an Oscar for stunts but there is one for fucking make up, sound editing and "best adapted screenplay".

The only downside would be that movie stars would either never do their own stunts again or the academy would be biased in favor of them too heavily

>>83719907
I'm not that guy, I was just trying to make sense about what he said because I still refuse to think someone would be that stupid.

>>83721721
The first Rush Hour was a total success. But it was also the end of Jackie's foray into American action movies. It should be applauded for what it attempted and ultimately accomplished, but nothing beyond this film ever elevated Jackie to a higher level or pushed modern day martial arts films to a more mainstream audience. It's a time capsule for what could have been, but Jackie was too much beyond his prime to catapult things into what it should have been. I'm afraid martial arts movies can not ascent to anything on its level in the America audience without a renaissance.

It's such a horrible state for a once beloved art form.

>>83721990
While there are still some creative edit cuts, this at least holds up well with the fluidity and level of visceral content with which most of his movies lived up. The slowdowns and flashbacks help to cover up the interruptions, but it's still an overall compelling scene. I enjoy the Karate Kid 2 aspects of Jackie's recollection of how to combat the Anglo's attacks. Even though it's not directly implied ;)

>>83722174
>Jackie was too much beyond his prime
This is the thing that gets me, that he was introduced to Hollywood so late (not in his career since he did a shitload of movies since then) but just in his life. Also, another anon posted this

at one point Jackie says about doing over 100 takes to get a single shot "people say 'you're so good, it's NOT good, you can do it, the question is, do you have the patience or not?" That bit always gets me because a comparable filming process will never happen in Hollywood and is basicly what stiffled not just Jackie but the whole of his action scenes in his hollywood movies.

Also a director other than Brett Ratner would have helped, he's just servicible but has no style of his own, it's fucking depressing.

>>83717451
GOAT taste

>>83722379
Exactly. Hollywood did not mesh well with his process. He's a perfectionist that can bring the perfect package to the table for a martial arts movie. Hollywood is just not suitable for such a production approach. He could have done so much more quality work if he had found a director and a producer or two that knew what they were doing or had a production company that knew how to cater to the production cast he needed. It's telling that Hollywood was inept to just what Jackie truly provided during the time he was available. Hollywood is still, more than likely, just as inept.

>>83722555
I'm not even halfway through your link and I'm reminded by how fucking nuanced his Rumble in the Bronx performance / production was. It stands above most action scenes, both in stunts and details, than the majority or Hollywood movies in the past 30 years have attempted or put up with to get right. What the fuck!

Fuck. Does anyone actually think that Jackie is rivaled in all aspects of charisma, work ethic, martial arts technicality, and overall success? Bruce Lee is the only one I would consider, but, damn, Jackie really has gone above and beyond pushing a genre to it's limits.

To be perfectly honest, Jackie is superior. He wasn't just an action star, he has been involved in the process of editing, shooting and choreographing all of his stuff for years, you can't trade that for a few action movies made specifically for hero worship.

The thing about Bruce Lee is that he's remembered more like a Mozart because he died young instead of his work. What he represented was important because he opened the market for martial arts movies in the west and the image of the prefectly disciplined, inmutable, stoic, invincible, near mystical protagonist, but that was the peak development of what Hong Kong cinema was already doing, what Jackie did was to turn that on it's head.

In the greater culture, Bruce Lee is also known because of this untouchable list of titles like he was the "best martial artist who ever lived" and thus he must have been the greatest martial arts actor who ever lived, or how he supposedly created MMA because he invented Jeet Kune Do, although he was a Wing Chun practitioner. He's remembered himself, not so much his movies.

>>83723050
I agree that Jackie is overall more accomplished than Bruce. It's hard for me to say that anyone surpassed Lee in status, but Jackie can't be denied in all that he brought to cinema and beyond. No one else has even come close to him in all aspects of movie making, no mater how dedicated Bruce was to his craft. Jackie had the luxury to fade away, while Bruce was taken away far too early. No matter what, both gave us more than anyone else has been able to provide. Jet Lee, at the very least, should be mentioned among a select few. He didn't live up to either, but he did a fine job. Overall, each of us is left longing for more. It's a freaking sad situation to be in.

apocryphal story, but imminently believable..
Some HK film crew was filming a scene where the lead had to outrun a machine gun strafing the area. They had run out of blanks and squibs, so they just loaded up with real bullets instead, said "good luck, don't trip"

Also recall Michelle Yeoh's disappointment at not being allowed to jump the motorcycle over the helicopter in that Bond movie she did. Never mind she's jumped a motorcycle onto a moving train before....

That stops being the norm in the early 90s. The 90s are the golden age of kung fu cinema if you like fast and fluid action and are put off by the slower and more methodical rhythmic approach that was universal in the 70s and widespread through the 80s.

I agree with that post, mostly.
When it comes to "serious drama' movies with Jackie, I only seen that Japanese one, where he plays an illegal immigrant and it was pretty good. Proved Jackie could act and not only fool around doing stunts.
Anyway, I always rated Jackie Chan high,

Police Story 1 and Meals on Wheels are the shit.
PS's theme song by Chan is a bretty good song too.

It's like you faggots don't even like Jackie. This fucking guy was a huge part of my childhood. First time I fell in love with martial arts movies, shitty and well done, was when my vietnamese neighbors brought me to a sneak peak screening of Supercop. After that, I rode my bike to Blockbuster over the next few summers and watched every shitty martial arts movie their was. Project A, Rumble in the Bronx, both versions of Drunk Master, Police Story, Operation Condor 1&2 (Whatever opening scene he escapes in an inflatable ball) and the other one is sick with the hanger the plane hanger vs the nazis. This man does his own stunts and always has the best fuck up montages at the end of his movies. Jet Li's Legend movies, Once upon a time in China, and Fist of Legend also rank high.

I guess he doesn't know that is how a lot of the movie were made. Even in like all the USA-made movies Jackie insisted on dubbing his own voice so that he could get the English as correct as he could possibly get it.

>imagine being jackie chan in this scene and having to be all like "damn gal gadot, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your skeletal body and incredibly kike face and deformed vaginal birthed head. I would totally have sex with you and praise you as a feminist icon, both my character in Rush Hour and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fuck another chink in his stuntman group. Like seriously imagine having to be Jackie and not only lean over the bar and pretend to flirt while Gal struts her pancake ass around the pool, the harsh daylight exposing every malformed figure and the jiggling of her body parts in all the wrong places, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that d-list runway walk. Not only having to tolerate her anorexic fucking body and the sound of her bones clanking together but her attitude that she thinks shes a good actress as everyone on set tells her YOU'RE WONDER WOMAN & DAMN, GAL GADOT IS THAT MUSCULAR?? because they're not the ones who have to stand there and watch her gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didnt even know existed before that day. You've been doing nothing but be a kung fu superstar pulling bitches for your ENTIRE CAREER fresh off the boat in China. You've never seen anything this fucking skinny and disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the chlorine thats running off her loose cesarean pregnant cut stomach as she tries to lose more weight off it on set, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to work with such a beautiful and talented "actress" and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months to be so ripped. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Jackie Chan.

It feels like it hey but not only that big buff action heros are dead too. Jackie Chan, Sly, Arnie. It's a new era I guess.

>>83733699
i mean, there's nothing bad about it. The genre was popularized by a series of fortunate events, and having dedicated insane people (in a good way) creating it. I'd rather it have a resurgence 20-30 years later, when some new blood rises up to the challenge.

CGI kinda ruined these kinds of movies, because nobody is willing to insure a star that can break his bones or even kill himself filming, especially when you can just computer him in, but maybe smaller films will still be faithful to the craft.

haha, that's a nice parallel.

Anyway, we should celebrate what we have and let it be a lesson on how things should be done to be of excellent quality.

Those kinds of movies also got popular from the fascination with martial arts and spirituality, so expect a return when the culture does it's loop-de-loop and the West gets fascinated with the East again.

how many of those tho? I could remember so little of them, including raids and ongbak and even chocolate.

Jackie alone starred in at least 20 and was on supporting roles in even more films.
And then there was a bunch of movies with Jet Li, Samo Hung, Chow Yun Fat.
Not to mention western stuff in the same vein, with Chuck Norris and Van Damm and Seagal.

Speaking of which is The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) any good?

Action movies are making a comeback though. In the past few years we've had kill zone ii, the raid, the raid 2, john wick, john wick 2, and fury road, all of which are comfortably as good as old school masterpieces like hard boiled and terminator 2.
