This has been around a little while, but it's just awesome. It was compiled by the Angry Nintendo Nerd guy. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cI1AwZN4ZYg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cI1AwZN4ZYg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> As an added bonus, here's top 10 Jackie Chan fight scenes. Not as good, but still very entertaining. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1cHynIXweE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1cHynIXweE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I can't see these at work, but "best fight scenes" better include the ending fight to "Legend of Drunk Master". That scene looked like a video game it was so ridiculous...
Its not much of a fight scene or death defying stunt but I think the bike chase in Project A really sums up Jacke Chan's grace and comedic brilliance. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Aq9btr-lnBc&feature=related
Glad to see the bike chase made it to the top 10 fights, even though its not much of a fight. I'm trying to remember which movie it is but there is another great prop fight with buckets, a bag of cement mix and a cement mixer that I'm surprised didn't make it.
I think i recall reading a Chinese newspaper just a few days that state jet li being the 3rd most famous celeb in china, with yao being #1? I personally enjoy jet li Chinese film a lot more then jackie chan. Eg. swordman 2, the "once a upon a time in china" series, "fong sai yok" series, etc. But in term of western flim, jackie dominate.
Jackie Chan should be in the same list of comedic greats like Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd,Harry langton, Charlie Chaplin... Most of his stunts are homages to the late comedians and the whole parkour culture, Jackie can do that too...
Absolutely. One of the falls that was not in the greatest stunts that I think should have been was from Project A 2(probably my favorite Chan movie ever.) where he does another fall from a high level and the only thing that slows him down is the bits of bamboo scaffolding that he smacks into along the way. It comes near the end of the movie. Also in Rumble in the Bronx the fight in grocery store is pretty funny and clever. I wouldn't have argued if it made the fight list, but it didn't.
You can also tell that Jackie Chan has influenced a lot of movies and actions. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/p310Y0tctr8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/p310Y0tctr8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JuZQfZ-WxTk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JuZQfZ-WxTk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Jackie Chan's chase scenes though seem a lot more graceful than these.
Tony Jaa is a big Jackie fan obviously. He bumps into a Jackie Chan lookalike in Tom yum goong, which has better fights and stunts than Ong Bak imo. His career is off to a solid start, and the Ong Bak 2 trailer looks pretty wicked.
Speaking of which, one of my favorite fight sequences from Tom Yum Goong, aka The Protector <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hi399mFwsB8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hi399mFwsB8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
A while back I saw some of old Jackie Chan films for the first time. Man was good back then. A lot less comedy and a lot more ass kicking. Felt kind of weird, because his more modern movies have a much different feel to them. Btw, I've never seen anyone as graceful as Jet Li when it comes to fighting in movies during his heyday. The guy is amazing in those sequences.
The thing that kind of blows my mind isn't so much his innovative fight scenes, although they are obviously brilliant. What amazes me is how often he's literally put his life on the line and come out looking like an ace. I mean, seriously, how is he not dead yet? When you do hundreds of stunts that could literally kill you if one little thing goes wrong, and yet you continue to defy the odds, that's totally impressive. Kudos to him for having the balls to do them all in the name of entertainment.
You ain't seen nothing yet... Check out the female version of Tony Jaa: Jeeja Yanin <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tcgt_NsPq3w&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tcgt_NsPq3w&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Exactly. Chan has always had a good feel for the 'comedy' style of kung-fu that he is so well-known for, but man, the few movies he did which were deadly serious, whew, man he could play a brooding ass-kicking machine as well as anyone who ever has. or that reason, Dragon Fist will always be my favorite Chan movie. I can't see those videos above at work, but I sure hope Dragon Fist represented, or else the list is a *travesty*.. LOL
