Download Jackie Chan Movies

Aside from the obvious Action or Martial Arts, Jackie Chan's movies are filled with very angular fight scenes (i.e. Punch, Hesitation, Retraction, Counter, etc...). There is a deliberateness to it, and I understand that it needs to be well choreographed but it just doesn't flow the way an actual fight might. There's always that moment of hesitation after a punch where the arm is left sticking straight out, etc...

I've seen enough Saturday Matinee movies as a kid to know that not all Martial Arts movies are like this. Bruce Lee movies, for example, featured very straight-forward Martial Arts scenes that were taken seriously.

The film style of Jackie Chan movies is "Hong Kong Action Cinema". While Jackie's style is unique, others of the same time era feature the same techniques of Peking Opera influenced acrobatics, Kung Fu, and slapstick. My understanding is that this style of film was specific to Hong Kong and distinct from Mainland Chinese films of the time.

A long-held tradition of Jackie Chan movies is that they end with blooper reels. Typically shown during the credits, they were filled with stunts gone wrong and other comedic moments that occurred during the filming process. Blooper reels were attached to several of the actor's biggest hits, including all three Rush Hour films, Shanghai Noon and the sequel, and more.

Of course, Chan's movies aren't the only films to feature blooper reels in the credits, nor were they the first to lean in this direction. But, Chan is among the few actors to make it a trend with their work. In movies Chan starred in during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, there became an expectation to see hilarious outtakes from the films after the story was over. Among the most memorable of these were the blooper reels from the Rush Hour movies, which captured a number of humorous exchanges between Chan and his co-star, Chris Tucker.

Chan's tendency to end his movies with blooper reels has its roots in the filmmaking practices of Hollywood director Hal Needham. Needham movies like 1997's Hooper and 1980's Smokey and the Bandit II popularized the trend, which continued into Cannonball Run in 1981. Curiously, Cannonball Run featured Chan in a minor role. Presumably, the Hong Kong actor took inspiration from this experience, as it was only one year that the same idea was incorporated into his own work.

In 1982, a Hong Kong kung fu movie titled Dragon Lord became the first Jackie Chan vehicle to feature outtakes of his failed stunts and slip-ups in the credits. Though Dragon Lord was an early Jackie Chan film, what its blooper reel included is consistent with what his better-known movies offered in the 1990s and 2000s. The credits showed Chan falling over during fight scenes, goofing off during filming, and being tended to by crew members after an injury.

Looking at Chan's comments on his approach to making movies, it makes sense that Chan elected to make blooper reels a staple of his work in the action movie genre. In his autobiography, Never Grow Up, the actor explained the importance of his films all following a specific formula. He said that his movies must contain certain core elements in order for them to come across to the audience as "true Jackie Chan films." According to the kung fu legend, that's primarily why Chan does his own stunts and sends his characters to exotic locations, while also avoiding gory violence and strong profanity. In addition to these recurring tropes, blooper reels help Jackie Chan's movies feel unique to most martial arts films.

Yeoh's character proved so popular that she starred in her own spinoff titled Supercop 2. Time Out named each of the first three Police Story films to their list of greatest action movies. In 2009, Quentin Tarantino declared Supercop contained the greatest stunts of any film ever made.

Drunken Master quickly emerged as one of Hong Kong's most influential kung fu films. At the box office, it earned over double what Snake in the Eagle's Shadow made. The film popularized the Zui Quan, or drunken boxing style of martial arts. Throughout the remainder of the 1970s and into the 1980s, drunken-themed martial arts movies became a popular subgenre in Hong Kong.

Lau eventually left the project, leaving Chan to direct the film's climactic fight sequence. This scene, which took four months to shoot, ranks among Chan's definitive cinematic moments. Time Out and the British Film Institute both named Drunken Master II on their list of greatest action films while Time magazine voted the film one of the 100 greatest movies of all time.

The shanty town car chase, Chan hanging off the side of a bus using an umbrella, the shopping mall fight scene, and Chan sliding down the electrical poll are all dazzling moments guaranteed to leave audience members speechless. Police Story won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Picture and Best Action Choreography while Time Out placed the film fourth on its list of greatest action movies.

I'd rather be an actor who can fight, not the fighter who can act. Probably you can see my Chinese films, when I go back to my own country, I can do whatever I want. I can do a drama, I can do comedy, I can do action, I change. ... Here, I always receive the script: Police from Hong Kong, police from China, CIA from Hong Kong, CIA from China. Always Rush Hour 1, Rush Hour 2, Rush Hour 3. Then, Shanghai Noon, Shanghai Knights. Can I have something different? ... I really, really hope one day I can make a drama film without one punch.

Originally planned to be team-up for Stallone and Chan, Stallone got distracted back into Creed II, a wise choice really, and instead John Cena was brought on board, with filming taking place way back in 2018 and almost immediately getting hit by natural disasters and production delays. Director Scott Waugh has made anything but a good name for himself since his inauspicious real-soldiers actioner, Act of Valor, doubling down on trash with Need for Speed, and finally lining up a Stallone flick, helming the upcoming "eagerly anticipated" Expendables 4. Unfortunately, if this delayed mess is anything to judge it by, things are looking even worse than for Expend4bles than the terrible trailer might have already suggested, with all those delays suggesting why even the basic premise of the story changed so significantly in the years its taken to get this puppy out of the door.

Wes Skinner writes about movies so his friends don't have to hear about it anymore. He's a lifelong enthusiast of samurai and western films and a firm believer that Nicolas Cage can, in fact, be loved unironically.
