Ah true, I missed the Operator Condor mention in my eagerness to comment 🤣 The dumbest naming convention ever, but I guess they didn't want to launch a sequel in the US after Jackie had just had his breakthrough. I love the fight with the amazon women 😂 And the main monk is so over the top!

Many years ago I actually did a Top 10 on YouTube that got way more attention than it deserved 😂 But it had Armour of God as number one. I even enjoyed The Protector and City Hunter back then 😂 https://youtu.be/SU-wW19uJ7I

I thought Rush Hour 3 was pretty painful. Chris Tuckers flirting with the girls has just gotten nasty as he has gained weight and become old.

Jackie was great in The Karate Kid, but Jaden Smith..... wow... No wonder his acting career never happened.

Then just watch the Project A movies, they are quite piraty 😊 I would have liked a Shanghai Sea, but unfortunately he was starting to get old at this point. We wouldn't have wanted another Rush Hour 3, where everyone just looks old.

We have very similar taste! I love all the movies you have mentioned. Then you will have to watch Super cop and the Armour of God movies too 😍

I think that in pre-Hollywood Jackie had many of his best single moments because of his insane physicality, but he for sure didn't have his best overall movies. I have watched most of his movies with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, and thought they were too silly, and took away from Jackie's stunts to leave room for the less interesting guys. I have watched most of his historical movies, and just don't care much about all that, I want insane stunts. In some of his first solo movies he used to have awesome training montages, like in "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow", "Drunken Master" and "The Young Master. But much of those movies were just Jackie goofing around acting overly silly on bad fake-looking sets. The early stuff isn't always automatically the best.

It was the end of his Hong Kong era, and the beginning of his Hollywood era. I love a bunch of his Hollywood movies:

Rush Hour 1 + 2
Shanghai Noon + Knights
Mr Nice Guy
Who Am I?
Rumble in the Bronx.

But before he also nailed it
The Legend of Drunken Master
SuperCop
Twin Dragons
Armour of God 1 + 2
Police Story 1 + 2

I wasn't the biggest fan of his earliest stuff with the trio and Project A, but I did love "Wheels on Meals".

I think that this statement didn't really become true until Jackie became political in his old age. He use to love Hong Kong and be against the communist party, until he suddenly wanted to become part of it. Strange.

Come on, Jackie Chan is known for his insane stunts and martial arts, not for his voice work. Then we should also include his appearances in commercials, talk shows and so on.

The animated movies don't really count when it comes to Jackie Chan 😊 He is mainly know for his physicality and inventive stunts/cinematography.

Untill then I think the Rising Sun is the closest you will get 😊

The Beach - With Leo... I guess...?

The atmosphere and dive into the Japanese work culture was spot on! Cannot wait for season 2.

Bloodsport - Probably my favorite martial arts movie of all time!

So true! I wonder what Indians think of the movie...

The Protector - Jackie Chan's least child friendly movie! It is a buddy cop movie, where they even go to a massage parlour....

I will check it out for sure. As I said, I live the genre 😍

Ha ha, great description of the movie!

Ha ha, I hope the joke wasn't too culturally inappropriate...

True, though I remember Brittany Murphy being a bit too much. I have a hard time abstracting from her voice.

Big in Japan (2014) - An unsuccessful punk band goes to Japan to become big! They go through a lot of special cultural aspects of the Japanese culture 😊

Black Rain - Michael Douglas and the Yakuza!
