In this special edition of Reel Action, we take a deep dive into three of Jackie Chan's best movies:
Police Story: Following a disastrous episode in Hollywood, Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong to dive into the contemporary action movie genre, making one of his best movies.
Dragons Forever: This movie paired Chan with his two friends, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, for the final time onscreen as a full-fledged screen partnership. The making of the film was fraught with drama, but the end result contains one of Chan's best-ever fights opposite Benny "The Jet" Urquidez.
Rumble in the Bronx: Jackie Chan finally broke through to the North American market with one of his most popular Hong Kong action movies ever.

Dragons Forever was also co-directed by Corey Yuen, who was part of the Seven Little Fortunes as well (the troupe had a rotating roster). He directed a number of Jet Li's 90s flicks such as Fong Sai-yuk 1&2 (aka The Legend 1&2) and was the fight choreographer of many Hollywood films like Lethal Weapon 4 & X-Men. BTW, just to be clear, Rumble in the Bronx was still a Hong Kong film. Hence, JC & Stanley Tong were in total control of the action.

Rumble in the Bronx is my favorite JC film due to first time nostalgia and its genuine boldness. I always find myself watching it most frequently for its action, comedy, and choreography.

Yuen Biao was always known as the most athletic of the three, even since they were teenagers. I love how he really got to showcase that in Dragons Forever.

@@SexyUndisputed2All Interesting thing about that which you will hate because of how big of a fan of Jackie you obviously are is that Tom actually has done more. I don't know if he tried to imitate what he though Jackie was doing but along the way he did what Jackie lied about doing. A lot of his "own stunts" were done by somebody else. It was actually a common knowledge in China but outside of it he created full on fake persona. Even his stories are contradictions in what he says in China and what he says outside China. If you want to check it out there is a Chinese show on youtube called horizon something that aired in China I guess around 2012ish because they are looking for actors for the last police story movie and Jackie is hosting it. There you can see the real Jackie.

Recently watched rumble in the Bronx again. It's amazing the quality of stunt's and fighting scenes. without any CGI or wires Jackie leaps from the roof of a parking structure to the adjacent buildings fire escape doorway. A jump 26 feet long, with a 15 foot drop, and if he fails it's 8 stories down. Also from the parking lot roof he couldn't see his target lolz 😂 so they lined him up with a strip of tap on the floor It's a great looking stunt

I grew up on MA films thanks to my Dad being a fan as well. First JC movie I saw was "Rumble in the Bronx" back in 1994. I went all in on this guy's work and must've seen at least a dozen of his films before "Rush Hour" came out 4 years later. Guy's made so many movies that it's hard to keep up lol.

@Makoto03 2 ай бұрын

Those practical and dangerous stunts are a lost art. I appreciate how much dedication Jackie Chan put into his hong kong films. I do like some of his Hollywood films like Rush Hour and Shanghai Knight but most of them lose use him poorly. Also shoutout to 'New Police Story'. I loved that film. Jackie Chan was more serious and took on a younger group of villains.

Its what inspired him to put the stunts, behind the scenes and outtakes shots at the end credits. Hal Needham did that in most of his movies. Hal also started as a stunt guy and was a big inspiration of Jackie's.

Jackie Chan gave us great movies such as Police Story(1985) and Operation Condor(1990). He was also in Z-grade junk such as Eagle Shadow Fist(1973) and Fearless Hyena II(1983). The Big Brawl(1980) is watchable.

Besides Police Story and Rumble in the Bronx, I would rank Wheels on Meals and Drunken Master 2 among his best movies.I don't think Dragons Forever is anywhere near as good as Wheels on Meals. Jackie use stunt doubles during the fight with Benny in Dragons. I would suggest the highly underrated Rob-B-Hood, based on 3 Men and a Baby but with great stunts and fights. It's one of his last good movies.
