Jackie Chan's Best Fight Scenes

Jackie Chan is one of the greatest martial arts entertainers of our time and to do a single article on all his work would make an over long article.

Personally I would have picked different films and you the reader would also pick different films which is the great thing about individuality and in that vane I will add a poll at the bottom so you can pick your favourite from the videos showcased.

The explosive sequel to Jackie Chan's groundbreaking original, 'Police Story 2' is famous the World over for some of the most daring and inventive stunt sequences ever commited to film.

Reprising his role as the irrepressible Hong Kong 'super cop' Ka Kui, Jackie Chan is triumphant in scene after scene of breath-taking action, as he puts his life on the line to combat ruthless kidnappers holding his city to ransom.

9. City Hunter

City Hunter

Amazon Price: $9.99 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

City Hunter is based on a manga film and as such it adopts the style of the silent movies with very visual comedy. It is over silly in places but it works well and makes this film very entertaining. One of the most memorable parts of the film is the take off of the video game Street Fighter, if you haven't seen this film it is worth getting just for that sequence.

Personally though I think the best fight scene in the film is that last one which features Richard Norton as the baddie. In this fight sequence Jackie Chan uses his female co-star as a weapon, awesome!

Amazon Price: $24.99 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

Project A is one of Jackie's many films that stars the 'Three Brothers', Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan, a nickname they received from the comaraderie they had while growing up in the same Chinese Opera School.

This has got to be one of Jackie Chan's best films, the fight scenes are awesome as are the stunts.

5. First Strike

Jackie Chan's First Strike

Amazon Price: $2.98 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

Set against a backdrop of the international arms race, Chan portrays a Hong Kong police officer who is contracted by the CIA and a Russian intelligence organisation to retrieve a stolen nuclear warhead. From the snow-capped mountains of the Ukraine to a shark-infested water park in Australia, Jackie persues a rogue CIA agent. Along the way he is attacked, assaulted, framed for murder and forced to defend himself in a way that only Jackie Chan can. Using spectacular stunts and non-stop hand-to-hand combat, FIRST STRIKE packs more punches than 50 rounds with Ali...

4. Police Story

Jackie Chan's Police Story (Special Collector's Edition)

Amazon Price: $32.79 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

Featuring a top-notch cast, which includes multi-award winning actresses Brigitte Lin & Maggie Cheung, director Chan combines a compelling storyline of an honest cop on the run from a false murder charge with dynamic visuals and full-blooded fight action which is electrified with emotional underscoring.

In the case of this particular project the price of excellence was high, with many of Jackie's elite stunt team being seriously injured during the course of principal photography. The opening bus sequence alone sent 4 stunt players to hospital for a long term vacation, and Jackie has been unable to get insurance coverage for any of his Hong Kong projects ever since.

3. The Legend of Drunken Master

The Legend of Drunken Master

Amazon Price: $9.00 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

Even though the original Drunken Master had a few following films this film is heralded as Drunken Master 2 because Jackie Chan didn't appear in the other Drunken Master sequels.

Once again Jackie Chan amazes the audience with amazing stunt sequences, this one includes Jackie falling onto a pile of red hot coals and scrambling backwards off them (this sequence makes me cringe every time I watch it). Andy Lau is Jackie's nemesis in this film with some amazing leg work.

2. Dragon Lord

Dragon Lord

Amazon Price: $3.01 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

Jackie Chan directs and choreographs this action-packed follow-up to The Young Master. Chan also stars as Dragon, a rebellious young man who is always getting into trouble along with his best friend, Cowboy. The friends soon meet Tiger, a desperate man in hiding from the Chinese Imperial Guardsmen who conspired with him to steal a number of priceless artifacts from the Forbidden City. Tiger's fellow guardsmen were intending to sell the treasures to foreign interests and divide the money, but Tiger left before the transaction could be completed. What neither Tiger nor Cowboy knows is that the Captain of the Guards is working in collaboration with the latter's corrupt father to pull off the illicit deal. Tiger goes back and purloins some of the artifacts, escaping with the guards in hot pursuit, as they need a complete collection to maintain their agreement with the buyers. Dragon and Cowboy remain blissfully unaware of the situation and give Tiger a place to seek shelter, only to face the wrath of the Captain and his men when their hiding place is discovered. Stand-out sequences include the final battle between Dragon and the Captain inside a large barn and a scene in which the precariously perched Dragon tries to keep from falling off a steep roof as the guards stick sharp spears through it from below.
