I used to like Jackie Chan movies when I was younger, mostly because my parents also liked to watch his movies, and I would often join them. Most of his movies I watched were action-packed yet comedic, and as a kid I was drawn to those elements.

I read about his decision to retire a few days ago. It's sad, but there's a beginning and an end to everything, and in his case, it's totally understandable.

Kizoku Keenan · 2012-12-23, 17:40

I hope I can become famous by making a silly song with silly dance moves if it gets me a chance to meet Mr Chan.

Just read that Chinese Zodiac will be getting a summer 2013 release for US & EU.....I don't think I can wait that long. Who is willing to teach me cantonese?

It can't be helped, but...
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Sadly, I don't see any new HK stars who can match the talents of Chan, or other contemporaries like Sammo Hung or Chow Yun Fat.

Jackie Chan has had a pretty good run though. Though I don't think he still has the athleticism to do the stunts he was able to do in movies like Police Story.

Jackie Chan's Major Injuries: A Catalogue of Pain

Ouch. That's a lot.

Kyero Fox · 2013-03-29, 10:17

He almost became paralazed twice! :O

Solafighter · 2013-03-30, 05:51

I really love his old films. Laughing my ass off, every single time.

One scene, I can't leave unwatched.

aohige · 2013-03-30, 06:27

Just dropped in to say Jackie Chan is, has always been, the greatest action star in all of mankind.

kthxbye.

My favorite movie quote by Jackie from Rush Hour which is my favorite Jackie Chan movie,

Quote:

I like to let people talk who like to talk. It lets me find out how full of sh1t they are.

Jackie Chan is one amongst the top pioneers to infuse Hong Kong's Chinese martial-arts cinema with humor whether be serious or slapstick.

I feel that amongst his more modern films the "Tuxedo" was a flop if not boring from my P.O.V.

Now, you think that I believe "Rush Hour" is my favorite film? Think again.

My favorite Jackie Chan film comes from an era at a time when American actors were paid to dub the voices of all the actors and actresses, including his, starring in his films back from the 1970's, 1980's, and early 1990's.

My favorite Jackie Chan film is the live action adaptation of City Hunter.

The best and awesome scene from that film comes when Jackie is electrocuted senseless and thrown into a Street Figther II videogame parlor and transforms himself into E. Honda, Guile, Dhalsim, and Chun-Li; that last transformation was Best Gold Fight for that film.

This is the memorable scene I'm talking about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA_ATLFxIA4

Amongst his latter and more recent films, I consider the Forbidden Kingdom a worthy film to the martial-arts, wuxia genre.

Next, once witnessing the splendid drama he delivered in Mr. Han's character I thought that he should have been given and granted the sole rights to direct the 2010 Karate Kid himself. I mean his performance as Mr. Han during the most dramatic scenes and at the climax of the film not only was memorable but to me became a mind-blowing experience. From doing that role, then at that moment I acknowledged Jackie Chan no longer as just a superstar of wuxia and martial-arts cinema, but also superstar that is capable to deliver drama and performing in other film genres as well.

And I thought Shanghai Knights was more better and funnier than the previous film.

I already know from six months ago that Jackie Chan is retiring, but from doing anymore martial arts and action films, because he's now pushing 60 in age. However, he's NOT retiring from doing film making as director, producer, writer, and actor.
In the years to come he's going to do other films outside the action genre.

And, I would love to see and hear him doing more voice-acting roles like, for example, Master Monkey in the Kung Fu Panda films.

aohige · 2013-03-31, 19:31

^You best be trippin'
Drunken Master and Police Story series were absolutely the best.

Especially Police Story.
All his best stunts were on them.

But hey, OPINIONS!

I like the top rated commenter on that video, very true. That was much better than the real Street Fighter movies...

germanturkey · 2013-03-31, 21:03

that clip is actually from operation condor. the first time i watched that movie, i couldn't stop laughing for ages. its one of my favorites.

i also heard that Zodiac movie was TERRIBLE. i don't believe its worse than around the world in 60 days though.

Take my word that Rush Hour 3, Disney's most recent version of Around the world in 80 days, The Tuxedo, and Shanghai Noon are amongst the most terrible of his films of the 2000's.

Now, amongst his old films from the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's, which do you consider were flops?

Bit too "Dark and Edgy" to be a police story movie.

Also, Police Story in Mandarin doesn't feel right. You need to have that Hong Kong flavour!
