I Saw My First Jackie Chan Movie Tonight... And I LOVED IT!!!

[arwalden]

Did you ever see "The Tuxedo"?? I laughed. I laughed. I was on the edge of my seat. Fun stunts. Fun special effects. Clever plot. Comic book-style villains and heroes. I laughed some more... and Jackie Chan is just adorable!! His stunts are very impressive.

So... if I liked "The Tuxedo" (which kind of reminded me of another movie I like, "True Lies") what's another Jackie Chan movie that you'd recommend?

P.S. Don't flame me for just now "discovering" Jackie Chan! Sometimes I'm slow.

1. I didn't really care for that one but yeah his movies are real fun

[NightTrain]

2. Haven't seen "The Tuxedo," but I got a kick out of...

..."Rumble in the Bronx," "Shanghai Noon," and "The Legend of the Drunken Master." All thoroughly enjoyable action comedies!

10. Jackie Chan makes me sick.

I have psychotic thoughts about him.

/kidding about the like thing :toast:

22. I Knew You Were Kidding

:-)

4. I kinda liked "Rumble in the Bronx"

Especially the scenes of the mountains overlooking New York City. And no, I'm not kidding.

6. Not one of his best

You have lot of really fun film to view now. Chan has an enormous body of work behind him ... at its worst, amusing and at its best spectacularly funny. Nuke some popcorn and enjoy.

On the more serious side, check out Chow Yung Fat's early work with John Woo ... especially "A Better Tomorrow" ... that one is simply a MUST SEE.

16. That's very good film I haven't seen in a long time

[UpsideDownFlag]

7. of all the movies of his to watch...um, that isnt a good one.

[jpgray]

8. I know it ruins my 'hip rep' that I flaunt all over the lounge

But I enjoy a good Jackie Chan movie myself.

9. Oh there are so many!

I never remember the plots....the stunts are spectacular though.

Beautifully choreographed. Stunningly dangerous.

Does them all himself. And lately there are 'outtakes' at the end with the goofs. Ow, ow, ow!

Great jokes too.

First Stirke

Rumble in the Bronx

Supercop

Operation Condor

Rush Hour

Twin Dragons

Mr Nice Guy

Shanghai Noon

Rush Hour 2

[arwalden]

14. Yes... The Outtakes During The Credits Are A HOOT!!

He's got some hilarious "whoops I forgot my line" faces... and the stunts that *didn't* work out as planned looked PAINFUL!!!

[Maple]

15. LOL exactly

I'm not a guy, but I cross my legs on some of them. Ouch ouch ouch!

[BlueHandDuo]

11. My first Jackie Chan...

...was Shanghai Noon. He and Owen Wilson played off each other brilliantly. So then I watched Shanghai Knights, which wasn't as good.

[BigMcLargehuge]

12. now move one to one of his really good ones -

Project A
Police Story
Armor of God
Armor of God 2

and possibly his best,

Legend of the Drunken Master

[Blue-Jay]

13. Jackie Chan is incredible!

His movies are mindless bliss, and his stunt out-takes are frighteningly joyous.

[DS1]

19. everything he does is mindless bliss, and that's the director's cut

the cinematic version is just mindless :evilgrin:

[Maple]

17. I think he's broken

every bone in his body at one time or another.

Yet he carries on.

Incredible...and crazy ...thing to do for entertainment.

But his movies are certainly that!

[roguevalley]

18. I first saw him in cannon ball run. get it. its a great movie.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

20. That is very funny...

But you should also see Shanghi Noon and Shanghi Knights. Very funny movie, and you also have eye candy in the form of Owen Wilson. Most of the American comedies Jackie Chan incorporates some kind omage to his favorite legends. Like in Shanghi Knights, he does a little omage to Gene Kelly.He also dislikes the use of guns. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Rush Hour one and two are great moovies. Very funny guy.

21. Don't see any more of his sub-par American crap..

"Who Am I?", "Shaolin Wooden Men" and "Supercop" are a hoot. It's not that his American films are terrible, but when Jackie was younger, he could do some amazing things without being tied down by idiotic American movie cliches.

[Forkboy]

23. Operation Condor is a great one

silly plot (as always),and a TON of great stunts.

I've enjoyed nearly everything he did until Rush Hour 2.His early stuff is amazing!
