Great Jackie Chan Video

This is The Angry Videogame Nerd's top 10 list of Chan's best stunts. Even if you don't like TAVN, the video's a blast to watch and really help appreciate how far Jackie will go to entertain us.

jumped through a sheet of real glass ?

i dont think so ..

the stunts are spectacular to be sure but i dont believe everything i see.

- the film on rollerskating stunt under the truck was sped up for one thing.


the one thing i cant understand is that at his age - and after all of those injuries - why isnt he just one big mess of aches ?

he had a couple of small ones - but you'd get that from the framework holding the fake glass and the stuff around it he landed on.

trust me - if you jumped through a real glass plate he would be sliced and stabbed to bits .. not little pokes.

the stunt was great - dont get me wrong .. no matter what he jumped through his body is going a great distance at a great speed ...and there's going to be a hard impact ... but no one will jump through real glass.

I think it was real safety glass, the glass which breaks into small chunks rather than shattering into giant jagged pieces. It didn't shatter like a standard glass pane would but it probably still hurt like hell. As far as the truck scene being sped up I don't know, I do know that jackie claimed that he did not use any camera tricks. I think if he would have continued doing stunts of that magnitude he probably would have died on film. Did you see the way he landed on the clock drop? Holy crap...

I loved his work with fire in the first Drunken Master too, he probably spent some time in a burn ward after that one.
