I love his movies so much. I just can't get enough of 'em. It's the martial arts. I think my favorite one is "the Legend of the Drunken Master". I know overdrinking is bad and all, but it's so funny and it's cool how he lures in the bad guys. Another one is "Who Am I". It's actually in AFRICA. Although, it wasn't really correct on a couple of things like the tribe. It's like they mixed Maasai with a couple of others.
What's some of your favorites? what do you think of his movies? :jump:

My favorites are the Rush Hour and Shanghai movies. Those are excellent. Alot of humor and fun to watch.

I love Rush Hour 1-2. Great humor. Rumble in The Bronx is great as well

I've seen quite a number of Jackie Chan movies and I think Rush Hour is over rated, but I quite enjoyed Rush Hour 2. My favourite Jackie Chan movie would probably be Who Am I? because it has an interesting premise, good comedy, great and weird stunts (clog fighting anyone?), it wasn't focused in only one country and the lead actress (journalist one) was good looking. Great movie all round!

I've seen several movies of his, but I think my favorite by far has to be Around the World in 80 Days. ^_^

love Jackie Chan movies. Who Am I is probably one of my favorites (plus the voice over job was pretty darn well done) and the plot was great, and the Rush Hour and Shanghai movies. Around the World was pretty good as well. i didn't really like the Tuxedo all that much, and the Medallion was okay. Twin Dragons (?) was pretty funny, but had a bad voice over job. my favorite thing about his movies is that they almost always have the bloopers at the end.

My favourite Jackie Chan movie is the sequel to his Hong Kong movie "The Armor of god" named "Operation Condor". Its not really a sequel, but it is his best movie. The plot is this: Jackie is hired by a rich Billionaire to find for the United Nations a lost shipment of Nazi gold. Unfortunately he's being followed by a band of mercinaries hired by one of the Nazis who hid the gold and two bungling terrorists who needs the money to fund their terror-operations.

Reasons to like it:
• Its funny
• It has funny action scenes
• It has a great supporting cast
• The extended action scene in the Nazi base at the end.
• The fightscene in the wind-tunnel is worth the price of admission alone.
• Its was the most expensive Hong Kong movie made for a long time, better go see why :grin:

Another Hong Kong classic is "Project A". Very funny with great action scenes.

PS: The worst Jackie Chan movie ever made is "Rush Hour 2". Why? Because the action scenes are lame, lame, lame and few and Chris Tucker is not funny in this movie as in the one before. Lame, lame, lame. Even worse is the Medallion. Chan should go back to Hong Kong because Hollywood does not understand the art of his movies.

The most surreal Jackie Chan movie I've ever seen though was the Hong Kong movie called City Hunter based, I think, on a Japanese Manga. I'm not sure I like it but its very surreal. There's a scene in a games arcade where CHan and several other fellows get zapped by electricity and turn into the guys from Street Fighter 2. That scene is worth the price of admission alone.

I love Jackie Chan's First Strike!!
And Operation Condor was good from what I remember.
I've seen almost all his movies--er at least since the late 80's. The one I really didn't like as much was The Tuxedo.

The Video Game "Jackie Chan Adventures" was AWSOME, and very very very super fun. I'm still trying to find it on ebay...for a good price.


Yeah, that one was good!
The video game, I thought, was great. I like when the bad guys, after you were kickin' their butts for a while, said, "My bruises got bruises."
...anyway...

I liked some of his more obscure ones:
Project A
Jackie Chan's Police Force #1
SuperCop (Actally Police Force#3)
City Hunter (Helps to have seen the anime or manga)
Twin Dragons (? The one where he plays two brothers, one being a martial arts thug and the other a classical music conductor)

And of course... Half a Loaf of Kung Fu, where he mocks the Kung Fu Cinema genre

I've enjoyed thoroughly every movie jackie chan has been in, except his crappy animated series which are bordering on what you would call a carreer ending move.

I liked em for a while, though nothing can suffice for the real deal. I jsut got tired on the last season I remember where there was so much of this chanting on both sides...

dude... my friend has that DVD... one of the BEST ever! It's based off the Japanese Manga: "City Hunter" The City Hunter animation is good too (lots of fanservice though XD) and Jackie Chan's movie did a REAL good job on making it similar to the manga

my personal favorite is: Who am I

"I may have amnesia! But I am not stupid"

and the best part is when Jackie:
[spoiler]grabs the guys earing, and starts spinning him around, and later you see a twisted earing being held by jackie. and the guy holding his ear in pain. So by twisting it he tore an earing off a guy :lol:[/spoiler]

Man I love Jackie Chan Movies

infact, my friend nathan. Works with this guy named Steve. Steve has down syndrome. Anyway Steve is the BIGGEST Jackie Chan fan you will ever see...

Jackie Chan's more recent movies are seeming to go down the drain though. I thought the Medallian was dumb, because im sure that one he didn't do all of his own stunts. (After he aquires the medallion that is) and the Tuxedo... was dumb

I thought mr. nice guy was okay. I liked twin dragons. The part where they were in the really hot room was funny. And how the thug ended up being the composer was funny too. Legend of drunked master was awesome as well.
