I searched, but I didnt find any thread for JC. I am surprised, there is no fans in the hub except me :shock: . At the same time, i am very happy to open a new thread for my most favourte actor.

Details about JC:
Real Name : Kong-Sang Chan (Born in Hong Kong)
Date of Birth : April 7th 1954
He started his career as child artist at the age of 8 in Seven Little Valiant Fighters: Big and Little Wong Tin Bar (1962). As a child artist, he acted in 5 films. In his 17th age, he worked as a Stunt man in FIST OF FURY (1971). He worked in 4 movies, in that 2 are Bruce Lee's. And he casted in some more movies too. But, those are not much popular.
When the Hong Kong movie industry began to fall, he joined to work in a restaurant. There a person, Jack had trouble to pronouce his name so he starts to call him as "little jack". Soonly, it became "JACKIE" and the name stuck. He already had CHAN in his original name.

Jackie ... the man who was another important bridge between China n Hollywood !
Lot of initial movies were just dubbed in English ... but now many movies being made with Jackie.... he is a very talented, risk prone artiste ...
the awaiting thing in every Jackie's movie is the last scene, where the names are displayed. ... where he shows all the mistaken shots, the risk and accident shots ..... nobody would miss to see that part in his movie !
good actor :thumbsup: :notworthy: :)
yea!!! those are really a superb ones... there we can see his stunts, done for co-artist too...Quote:

jackie chan , sammo hung.
both are my favourites!
yea.. jackie & samo combination always give a best result...
project A, wheels on meals, police story, twin dragons, mr. nice guy are some of the examples...
and jackie appeared as second hero in samo many movies like twinkle twinkle little star....
The first Jackie Chan movie that I saw was Police Story, the best police story I like is the fourth one
It's great to hear that his doing another sequel to Rush Hour. He's really good doing sequels, never failed at the BO, nobody dares to do that
Great thread sipi
:notworthy: rayan36 :ty:
i would say, CRIME STORY is the best police story ever seen in my life. Thats a real story took up from the police crime. :thumpsup: wonderful concept, screenplay and direction.
its not a regular movie like him with comedy... The story ends up like a true police life... good one...
and "a new police story" is also a wonderful story of a police inspector. he received a best actor award in this movie.
yes no body... only he can beat himself on his every movie...Quote:

and what abt gorgeous? he just jumped inside 3 x 3 feet open window.... its really a tough one... at his 45th age...
Jackie Chan ! I have seen more movies by Jackie Chan than any other non Tamil actor. He is doubtlessly the best entertainers. I kind of lost touch after he came to Hollywood. Post Rumble in the Bronx - I've only seen the 2 Rush hour flicks and Who Am I. Not the most interesting.
The Police Story series are easily his most riveting but I like him better in the rural historicals (like Revenge, Challenge etc.). Some of the unbelievablly crazy stunts for Meals on Wheels. The scene in Twin Dragon where he jumps 'into' the window of a car is fantastic (as always we get to see the painful efforts in the end-credits )
:thumbsup:Quote:

revenge or challenge - mr. nice guy is a wonderful movie. (it was remaked into tamil as "NADIGAN") and the new police story is also a wonderful challenging. especially the climax scene, how jackie fix the pistol.
let me recall.....is the building with the windows shaped liked stairs, if it is it's a great stunt NEVER to be tried :wink: if you've seen the end credits in the movie, Jackie was gonna fall from the building, he was like holding his breath, he is risking his life doing his own stuntsQuote:

if there is one guy who is fit for the millions of salary given in cine filed...thats jackie chan!
:clap:
CP : nice thread - but you havent incuded Armour Of God in the polls
designer, there is max of 10 polls and also i included operation condor, which is the second part of armour of god. operation condor is much popular than armour of god. thats why i choosed operation condor instead of armour of god.
when is Rush hour 3 comin' ?

"Jackie Chan: My Stunts" Documentary Part 1 of 10.
This documentary is a 10 part series. I have watched 5 upto now. Its a must watch for action lovers.
The man's dedication in film making and stunt choregraphy :notworthy:.
Some behind the scenes are really shocking :clap:
I had this in a VCD along with Rush Hour VCD. One of my friend borrowed it and never returned it back :curse:
Jackie Chan has broken almost every bone in his body. Real Super Hero :notworthy: :notworthy:

The bench fight in Young Master is one of the best.
What deep understanding of camera angles and editing goes into the choreography of the fight. Ultimate test of 'control' of the medium.
Great "artist"! :clap: One of his kind. Was watching "Snake in the Eagle's shadow" with my 6 year old nephew recently, you wouldn't find the (age)difference in enjoying his craft. "Drunken master" I and II, Police story, Armour of God I (not as much with II), and his 80s films are my favorites.
I didn't like the American films. But quite recently, I watched a couple of films by Benny chan. Jackie plays a drunk and sober cop in The New police story and in Rob-b-hood, Jackie plays a low-life thief, unaccepted by his father (OLLO anyone? :P ). Of course, the drama is uneven in both the films. Who would want Drama any way in JC film? But I enjoyed him here than all his Hollywood potboilers put together.

You guys would love this. Jackie chan in david letterman last year. We get to see another peek on his funny side outside of cinema.
From 2:15, its plain hilarious :rotfl:

Now only I noticed I haven't voted in this poll. I like his Asian films more than the Hollywood Ones. Who am I is one such movie which I enjoyed a lot. A tough to choice to pick one and i guess some good ones have been missed out from the list.
where are movies like
1.wheels on meals
2.my lucky stars or the most important drunken master
Thanks for that video AF :thumbsup:

The Drunken Master - famously seen and quoted by GM as "Drunken Monk"
Double Dragon
Dragons Forever
All these IMO are better than the Hollywood movies quoted in the poll.
The only Hollywood movie of his I like is Rumble in the Bronx. Even in that is just "okay".
Thanks pr!!

Anyway, Rumble in the Bronx is one of my favorite JC films. Some of the stunts are great, especially the jump across two buildings :shock: :notworthy:
You are right.Quote:

The look and feel of the movie is quite different from his previous films.
Awesome jump ! He broke his leg, of course.Quote:
