What's up everyone, I've decided that I want to watch a bunch of Jackie Chan movies but I don't know where to start. Which of his movies are essential viewing? I'm committing to watching everything that's suggested.

The Drunken Master films are unparalleled in comedy action. Absolutely hypnotic choreography.

First one was excellent! Seeing him play a spoiled little shit was great.

[–] recreationalplacebos@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Anything directed by Yuen Woo-ping is going to be great.

Drunken Master is #2 Thanks!

[–] Milan@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't sleep on the sequel!

[–] MobileSuitBagera@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is that "New Police Story?"

[–] Milan@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Drunken Master 2 or Legend of Drunken Master depending on your region

Read the wrong comment lol Drunken Master 2 is #4 Thank you!

I'm gonna start with Rumble in the Bronx (1995) because I know that one.

[–] MobileSuitBagera@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Finished Rumble in the Bronx, I realized about 40 minutes in that I knew it because I'd seen it before. Still enjoyed it though.

Police Story is a good one that's easy to find and has a lot of sequels so you can keep going if you want. Drunken Master is probably my favorite of his movies. I watched a bunch of them as a kid and he made me a life-long fan of stunt work.

[–] MobileSuitBagera@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the suggestions, They're on the list.

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You should give Police Story a watch. The stuntwork in it is insane.

[–] MobileSuitBagera@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Police Story is #3 Thank you!

[–] MobileSuitBagera@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Great rec! I the mall jump was bananas!

[–] chaddy@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Both Armour of God movies, and both Drunken Masters would be my personal pick.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Armour of God is Jackie’s take on Indiana Jones and Operation Condor is his James Bond. Both are pretty epic.

[–] MobileSuitBagera@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you! Amour of God will be #5 and Operation Condor is #6
