Man, I loved watching Jackie Chan when I was a kid and allowed to stay up late. Watching Kung Fu theatre and they showed the Kung Fu movies with the bad dubbing.

There was one called Fearless Hyena that was great but getting to what you're really asking.....

The Rush Hour movies are great.
Rumble in the Bronx was decent.

But my fav is him in the Cannonball Run.

I remeber the same thing as a kid, watching them and really enjoying them. I remeber seeing one movie where he was playing a serious role where he had a retarted brother. He did all kids of roles, serious, funny and sad.
I enjoyed both of the armour of gods movie, the second where they are looking for hitlers gold was great

He did all his own stunts in all those as well

Rumble in the Bronx is awesome, when he realizes its a one way mirror

Yeah, I was working at a movie theatre when it came out, I think I was around 20 at the time, and we got it. I always liked walking in just before it ended and watching the outtakes. There's an outtake where he jumps from a building and lands on either a fire escape or a lower part of another building and you can see his ankle break, his one foot is literally touching the side of his calf. Ouch.

How about a little love for "Shanghai Noon" and "Shanghai Knights" ?

I can't remember what movie it is from, but there is one stunt where he jumps from the top of a wall and tries to grab onto a tree. The fall nearly killed him. He has taken a serious beating over the years.

You have to respect the man though. He fights through the pain for his movies. In the barefoot skiing scene at the end of Rumble in the Bronx, he did it with a broken leg. He is wearing a sock that is painted to look like he is wearing a shoe instead of a cast.

Amazing, devoted actor.

I love Shanghai Noon. I have it on DVD. Never saw Shanghai Knights though.

The bubble bath outtake from S. Noon is great. "Uno Mas......"

Very well said. If I tried to do that, not even the martial arts stuff because I'd kick my own arse by accident, but that skiing part you just mentioned..... The pain level would just make me quit. I couldn't do it.

Jackie's the man.

The 8-10 minute fight scene on the roof at the end of Who Am I was my favorite. I recorded it off HBO as a kid and I literally used to replay that scene over and over.

Drunken Master was my favorite movie by him though.
