He's old now.

Yes. Tom Cruise does some cool stunts too, but no one put themselves in more danger than Jackie. (Unless you go as far back as Buster Keaton and a few other total badasses of the silent film era)

>physical actor
what did you mean by this?

that is not christian bale.

chris farley

>but no one put themselves in more danger than Jackie.

I'll say this, Jackie beats Tom right now just because he 100% should have died when his skull got cracked open.

Tom ain't there yet, but I think he's on his way.

Keep pushing that envelope Tom, Xenu can't stop you.

It annoys me how Bale always has his mouth open like a retard when he is in the bat costume.

I get the feeling the nose bit of the cowl makes it tough for him to breathe.

I don't think he can breathe through his nose in the suit.

Yup there it is

>“When it gets cold the cowl is extremely tight, and it gets better the warmer I get it; it becomes more flexible. But after a couple of takes I was trying to breathe properly in my nose,” Bale told Huffington Post UK. “I was starting to see stars and I said ‘I have to take this off’. And thank God on this one I can—on Batman Begins I couldn’t—so I had to get inside because I couldn’t let anybody see me without the cowl. It never looks how it feels. It’s so weird.”

>rush hour bloopers
>that one where he has to flip a table off himself
>one blooper it slams on his neck
>everyone rushes over like he's dead or something
Dude is a machine. Also he was fucking brilliant in The Karate Kid, he should play more older wise-man type roles like that.

No.

I like how Jackie Chan's bloopers are all him fumbling very difficult stunts while Tucker's bloopers are him just missing his lines.

>that movie where he didn't want no trabble but then he got trabble

Absolutely

>yfw Jackie wants a trouble

He's a national icon.

Yeah haha

>that blooper where chris gets a phone call and jackie starts talking to the person on the phone

>fight happens in a hardware store with a liquor shelf

I never noticed how shit the fighting is in the background

>and there's a priceless vase precariously balanced nearby

Jesus christ the choreography in that movie was truly horrendous

One thing Snyder absolutely destroys Nolan in, the fighting and combat scenes are by far the worst part of the Nolan trilogy which is unfortunate considering the franchise and character

>And Jackie is HOLDING A BABY

>Jackie Chan thread
>Faggots STILL talking about TDKR in every thread

neither can write dialogues.

Do you think he actually drove that car while sitting on the sofa?
Also the one where he goes to the dentist and gets dressed while still driving

>i cnt beleve peple r stil torkin abut a masterpeace of cinema wut idiot

pleb

Snyder probably isn't afraid of numerous takes either, not like Chris "1, 2 we're through" Nolan.

Everyone involved in the glass fight in Police Story has balls of steel. That includes the woman.

>his master just died in the hands of the villains

God helps us all

They were actually really good in Batman Begins then they just got worse and worse.

He's really into cars/racing etc. so it's very plausible.

>the villain mocks his drunken style of kung fu

I like how he makes it look effortless, but then in the outtakes they show you all the fuckups and him getting taken away on a stretcher.

You mean this?

Did they use real glass or something?

That's the one. Yeah, they used real glass because it'd "look more realistic". It's fucking brutal.

>Masterpiece

What I've always hated about HK flicks are the goddamn flapping cloth sound effect on every fucking thing.

Dude, that and the solid punch effects are my fucking jam, I love that.

EFP was right, as good as Jackie is, it's the combination of him and his stunt team that really make the movie and why the american stuff suffers.

did you not take issue with how the other words were spelt?

>it's the combination of him and his stunt team that really make the movie and why the american stuff suffers
Not to mention the choreography which is creative as fuck and the camerawork where you can actually fucking see all of the action.
I hate nothing as much as the cheap ass hollywood way of making action films with cameras that are too close and a cameraman having spasm while filming.

If you saw the EFP video you know it's not only about the stunt team.

Well that was implied.

that amazing. Like most people, I was saved by JC when Rumble in The Bronx came out, so I've never seen this

Pretty sure the long scene in Drunken Master is still considered one of the most impressive fight scenes to date

My man started as a fucking porn actor. Imagine Sasha Gray doing these fight scenes

I have a baby nephew and whenever I see him I yell uncle like Keung did in RitB after the motorcycle drag race bit

>long scene in Drunken Master
You mean the Legend of Drunken Master?

obv

That crazy son of a bitch did that pole slide in 1 take, with real christmas lights, got third degree burns on his hands, cut the shit out of them and broke a few of his vertebrae and dislocated his pelvis doing it

He's an absolute madman.

He is THE action comedy master.


That EFP video convinced me and really spelled out a lot of what Jackie does that works, and I mean, even watching those clips man, I just start laughing. That rhythm he uses in his choreography is just really effective and funny.

I've seen this as a kid. But only now understand how impressive and dangerous those stunts are. True poetry.

Watch him slide down the pole through the lights makes me feel nothing but sympathy

>The mall pole slide also nearly paralyzed Jackie Chan after nearly breaking the seventh and eighth vertebrate in his spine. He also dislocated his pelvis doing it (something hadn't previously known was possible).

>Jackie Chan sustained burns on his hands during the pole slide scene in the mall. The Christmas tree lights were plugged into the wall instead of a low-voltage car battery.
Goddamn

The man loves his art. There's a cool youtuber that does film appreciation vids and he covered JC. Really made me respect the man a bit more. Shame he's a sockpuppet for the CCP.

If the scene actually went down that way the movie would have been better.

He's not even the best physical actor in a Jackie Chan movie...

>dat many people play fighting like little kids
Looks so fun :D

I just can't from this long haired dude behind Bane.

my favorite is in the rh2 reel where don cheadle says 'his name is lee goddammit' after tucker calls him jackie for the millionth time.

Chaplin, Lloyd and Keaton did it better.
