anyone else a fan of him and his stunts? im thinking of getting into the stunt industry for a year or so because of him. and i know shauns interested because he did a scene in one of his vids where he gets hit by a car and does the classic stuntman roll.
anyway im dabbling in freerunning to get the feel of it.
I love him, maybe not as much in the newer movies, which were still good, but I like his older stuff much more.
Did you know that he is a singer too? Pretty sure he did the vocals for Mulan, not the english version. lol
I think im gonna go grab some of his movies and have my self a little Chan marathon.
i was downloading police story but it slowed down in th last 10%. ill leave it on overnight. i got the armour of god the other night. thats the one where he jumps off a wall and onto a tree and the branch snaps. he landed on his head and needed brain surgery. hes also got a permenant hole in his skull and bad hearing in one ear cause of that. on the plus side he parachutes onto a hot air baloon and abseils down the side:D . i think police story is the one where he jumps onto the pole with all the cristmas lights on it. youtube " jackie chan: my stunts " it covers how he does stunts etc.
His clock-face fall in Project A has to be seen to be believed.
And the handcuffed flag-pole climb from the same movie is a greatly underrated stunt.
Yes, Iām a Chan fan.
One time there was a bus of asian people and they were getting out I asked one if he was Jackie Chanā¦he of course didnāt say anything back but it was funny nontheless.
FTFY.
meh, +1. True Trueā¦
Yeah I would definatley have to agree that his older movies were the best. Heās just so freakin crazy!
Anyways, Bruce Lee is still the best:p
Thereās no way he would be allowed to do the stunts he did now, because of shudder a health & safety officer.
No, really, donāt get me started.
Iāve been kind of a member of a Dutch stuntteam who used to cooperate with Jackie Chan for at least 2 movies or more.
We came up with a couple of very extreme unicycle stunts, that weāve discussed, but never executed.
Now that unicycles can resist much more, and Iām also better than I was by thenā¦ I still would like to do some.
Being part of the team was a nice experience. Being on a level that you trust your life to others, and vica versa isā¦ well; special
(but you donāt wanne know the debriefings).
Heās cool, but Chuck Norris is the best.
haha I love chuck norris jokes, so many so funny
howd ya get on the dutch stunt team?
I have no idea if they found me, or I found them. It was many years ago.
After my last post I decided to give them a call, and found out their stuntschool doesnāt excist anymore. So besides budget, there now is no space available anymore.
Shame cause we had a couple of āeasyā but spectaculair unicycle stunts in mind. I bet someone else will do them one day.
yeah. im doing safe and easy stunt stuff for fun atm. eg at school weāll stage a fight scene outside a class in the middle of a period then run off. or i get hit in the face and fall off my chair etc. recently ive managed to jump from one level to a stair landing halfway down the staircase. later on in the year me and someone else wanna do a whole level. its only like 2.2 metres or so. i just saw āwho am iā where he slides down a building. it was sweet.
