      For other Jackie movies I'd recommend Operation Condor and First Strike. First Strike isn't the best one of his movies but I think it has his most impressive fight scene.

      When Jackie jumped onto the Hovercraft, he switched his ankle. He contacted filming while wearing a cast on the ankle that was painted to match the sneaker on the other foot! Drunken Master #2 (Cantonese) is one of his best films. He fired the Director near the end of filming because they had a major disagreement on how to design the final fight. Jackie wanted the traditional style of Drunken Boxing to be featured but the Director wanted a modern style to be shown. The final fight always appears in Best Martial Arts Fights lists.

      Actually he broke his ankle on that jump. If you watch the bloopers at the end when he lands on the hovercraft you can see when he broke it. He lands then he fall and grabs his leg. And to finish the movie in time he had them make a sock that looked like his shoes. He even had to do some stunts with he broking ankle

      Except they do and have. Jackie Chan famously spends months on single fight scenes during his Hong Kong days, where his most impressive work is from.
      The last fight scene of Drunken Master 2 has him crawling on real live coals. And he did it three times because the shot didn't come out right the first two. He has a bad scar on his arm from it.

    You should definitely check out Jackie's move "Legend of the Drunken Master" (1994) because it's some of Jackie's best stunts and fight choreography ever. Also, Anita Mui (the store owner from this movie) plays his step-mom in that movie, and she is fucking hysterical!
    Another couple of good Jackie Chan movies to check out are "Supercop" (also starring Michelle Yeoh) and "Mr. Nice Guy" (has a fun over-the-top bad guy).
    Since you seem to like martial arts movies, other stars to consider checking out are Jet Li ("Kiss of the Dragon" and "Unleashed"), Donnie Yen ("SPL: Kill Zone" and "Special ID"), and Yuen Biao (a friend of Jackie's whose movies are a little harder to find; "The Iceman Cometh," "Above the Law"/"Righting Wrongs," and "On the Run"). Yuen Biao is my personal favorite, but they're all great.
    I was raised on Jackie Chan films, so they've always been a huge influence on me. I love his perfect blending of action and comedy. Glad to see you reacting to more of his films! ^_^

    This was actually Jackie's 3rd attempt to break into the American movie market. The first was in 1980, "The Big Brawl" aka "Battle Creek Brawl", directed by Robert Clouse, who made Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee's "hollywood" movie. That failed. Then in 1985 me made "The Protector" with director James Glickenhaus and co starring character actor Danny Aiello.. it also failed. On both films he was hampered by working with an American crew and stunt team that didnt get how to shoot his kind of action. Rumble in contrast is a Hong Kong film that has an American "theme" (shot in Canada)... but it's his stunt team. Jackie had been famous around the world since the late 70s.. the US was the last country to "get" Jackie.

    Awesome pairing.

    Look at these surroundings, and imagine Jackie looking at them, devising what kinds of stunts he can do in the space, with little or no set-dressing, and constructing an action sequence mentally.

    Man deserves all his flowers now, incredible human being and one of a kind silver screen personality. Who can do even 10% of this with your body?? Real life and humanized Bruce Lee or MCU hero.

    The English dubbing on this movie is absolutely hilarious. It’s so bad that it could be used as a teaching moment in a film school

    Oh hell yesssssssss. Went cinema to watch this in the late 90’s when was shown again with rush hour 1 on a double bill. Amazing film. He broke his ankle so we didn’t get a end fight, but the rest of the action is class. Also check dragons forever, miracles (directed), police story 2,3, The Foreigner and many more

    I love it. Subscribed. There are few reaction channels that genuinely show first time reactions. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to a movie that was a part of my childhood film rentals from a small town store which my family had to drive through 30 minutes of dirt road to get to. You're channel is a gem. Keep capturing your first time watching reaction and you will have loyal subscribers.

  • @a.d.gaming5669

    EYYY YOOOO, THIS IS THE MOVIE THAT MADE ME A FAN OF JACKIE!!!👍👍👍 I cannot stress enough that you need to check out Sammo Hung movies as well, he and Jackie are 'brothers', they trained, worked for many years together and the movies they've done together are amazing. I have to recommend 2 movies: Meals on Wheels(1984) and Dragons Forever(1988). It's an ensemble cast so Jackie isnt the only main character and its awesome to see his supporting side as well. James, you have no idea how much, you're gonna love those movies.
    EDIT: I apologize for not giving full respect, Jackie had 2 'brothers', Sammo as I've mentioned and the other is Yuen Biao. All 3 are in both movies and they are phenomenal together.

    My favorite aspect of this movie is very understated. This is New York through the eyes of Stanley Tong, when someone from Hong Kong goes to New York they see an amalgamation of cultures and people, thus the cast is incredibly diverse.

  • @darrenmacdonald1499
    @darrenmacdonald1499 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    "Jackie Chan in New York is an awesome look." He also looks pretty good in Vancouver, BC, Canada, because that is where this was filmed. All the shots of New York were long shots showing the city, but you never see a recognizable skyline in the rest of the movie. In the nineties Vancouver was known as Hollywood north, because we have so many different types of landscapes, and so many movies set in America where actually filmed here. Also, our dollar was lower so the film companies got a bigger bang for their buck. The majority of the series The X-Files was also filmed in many locations around British Columbia.

  • @MickeyValenz
    @MickeyValenz 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    this movie was filmed in Vancouver (Canada in the house!!) ... Jackie broke his ankle during filming, when he jumps onto the hovercraft. They made a slipcover for his cast that looked like a running shoe so he could continue filming.

  • @nobodyyouknow6998
    @nobodyyouknow6998 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I very HIGHLY suggest checking out some of Jackie's earlier films if you want to check out more of him. Snake in the Eagles shadow, Drunken master and legend of the drunken master( though this is quite a bit later than the prior two listed), or one of my personal favorite Wheels on Meals( outside of the drunken master films that hold a special place in my heart).

  • @MickeyValenz
    @MickeyValenz 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    as a kid in the 90s he was THE guy to see. we would always go to the theatre for a Jackie Chan movie to see what crazy stunts he did. His style of ''using the environment'' as weapons has inspired so many movies, including the jacket stunt during the Shang-Chi bus fight.

  • @robertbranham90

    "I don't want any trouble" is like "I'll be back" for Jackie Chan. When you hear Jackie say that line, you know something's about to go down.

    Hes actually the stunt coordinator on most of his movies. They would watch his back and he would watch theirs. That was his motto is you never do this alone. He always has people there who support and assist him.

  • @LukeMaynard
    @LukeMaynard 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    There's a very small number of "modern" movies that he made in the US with his original Hong Kong team at the helm and this is one of the best of them. This was a film that Tarantino boosted and pushed for an American release through Miramax or a similar company. It was the first Jackie Chan movie I watched in the theater, and it was the beginning of his whole runaway success as a North American action star. Previous US film roles (Cannonball Run etc.) just never got him in the door, but he was very quickly a household name after this. Authentically "Hollywood" movies like Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon soon followed, but by then he was worth so much money that the Hollywood studios could not afford to insure him for some of the insane stuff he did.
    The Hollywood-era stunts are all real, but they really phase out some of the extreme daredevil stuff he used to do-jumping from one building to another with a 10-storey drop, or running across the tops of buses in city traffic at full speed, things like that. He continues to do super-impressive stuff, but you really have to go back to Hong Kong to find the movies where they actually let him do the high-risk stuff he's an expert at doing, without freaking out the U.S. insurance companies who are suddenly out $200 million if he's decapitated by a helicopter or something. The US films are less risky and less extreme as a result: there's a lot more comedy, but a lot less raw extreme stunting.
    If you're looking for more Jackie Chan, I 100% recommend "Who Am I?"-another great film made on location in the West (this time in Rotterdam, Netherlands) with his original Hong Kong film crew. Another great film with outstanding fight scenes and stunts, and very high production values relative to his older films-but there's no way a Hollywood crew would ever let him run full-tilt and slide down the wall of the Willemswerf skyscraper with no wires or safety harness. Another film that's the best of both worlds.
