He also fights Benny in Dragons Forever - it may be even better.

The tagline for Twin Dragons is great: "Jackie Chan - together again!"
Also, he made it to raise money for an organization that was fighting the influence of organized crime in HK Cinema, I think.

How can you say Yuen Biao and Sammo are "less interesting"? Now, if we're talking "Winners and Sinners" or "Lucky Stars" movies, I agree - too little Jackie, too much lame humor.

Snake in Eagle's Shadow is the weakest of the three you mentioned. I have a soft spot for the "you killed my master so now I must grow up fast" movies like Young Master, Drunken Master, Dragon Lord et al, but he really put it together in the Project A and Police Story movies. Plus - young Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh!

Hey, I did say "beginning". It's fun, just not as good as his best 80s stuff. Also, if you want "awesomely dumb" then you want the Asian Hawk Indiana Jones ripoff movies (Armor of God) or maybe Twin Dragons.

It's always great when he's working with both Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung, so Wheels on Meals, Dragons Forever, Project A.

Drunken Master II was the last GREAT Jackie movie - Rumble in the Bronx was the beginning of the end. Best Jackies:
Project A, parts I and II
Police Story I-III
Dragon Lord
Dragons Forever (a personal fave because it's got the 3 brothers in it)
Drunken Master I & II

Mary Poppins (the original - I find the sequel vastly inferior)

Luca is lovely and while there are emotional scenes, there's no great peril...

I find Ponyo sadly rather tedious. And for GOD'S SAKE don't show them Princess Mononoke! Kiki and Totoro are head and shoulders the best for the younger set.

If (a) Jackie is singing the credits song, and (b) Jackie is nearly dying in the outtakes at the end of the movie then you know you just had a good JC experience.
