A Potpourri of Vestiges Feature
Through the streets, between the skyscrapers, train-top
fights, flying down from an umbrella, hanging from helicopters, buses, trees,
walls, and do note, clock hands as well. Chasing, escaping, fleeing away,
Jackie Chan, always on the run, with his evergreen stunts, peculiar comedy, and
silly jokes, has continued to win hearts of all. Chan is known for performing
his own stunts and is revered by today’s stars for action packed sequences. Also
known for some of the most complex fight scenes and choreography, Chan has
risked his life time and again for the sake of perfection and of course,
entertainment. He is, hands down, in the top handful of martial artist to have ever
lived.
While it's difficult to rate his stunts, here is an attempt to
list down his five best stunt performances in movies.
Clock Tower Fall in Project A
Chan hangs from the hands of a clock and with no safety
harness, he takes a direct fall from the top of the clock tower through a two
storeysand onto the ground.In the scene, just after the
fall, which was shot as naturally as it seems, Chan is seen, with much dapper,
delivering a silly joke. With ton of wild action, this movie is a sheer delight
for all action lovers and you can catch it airing on Star Movies at 9.00PM on 15th July 2019.You can check
out the stunt here.
Snowboarding onto a helicopter in Police
Story 4
While almost all of Jackie Chan’s movies have some or the
other extreme stunts, in the Police Story 4: The First Strike, Jackie Chan
brought snowboarding to a new level and is seen taking it down a slope and onto
a helicopter at such ease. You can check out the stunt here.
Wall Jump in Armor of God
This wild entertaining action comedy and adventure features
one of Jackie’s craziest stunts. Here, he jumped from a wall on a tree and took
hold of the branches which broke and he was crushed on the rocks underneath.
This stunt almost killed him; he had a fractured skull and was taken to
hospital for brain surgery. The movie offers some of the loved action comedy by
Chan and you can watch it soon on Star
Movies at 9.00PM on 22ndJuly 2019.You can check out the stunt here.
Building slide in Who Am I?
In Who Am I, action film co-written and co-directed by Chan
himself, the actor slides down a 21-storey skyscraper with no safety harness.
And though he did execute it so brilliantly and seamlessly, he injured himself
in the ankle.You can check out the stunt here.
Hanging from the Helicopter
Well, why limit just to
helicopters. Jackie Chan has hung himself from buses, buildings, clock hands,
poles, and what not. Packed with insane action and stunts, Supercop, in one of the
chasing scenes, had Chan jump off a building and onto a rope-ladder hanging
down a helicopter. And just like most of his stunts, this one as well was with
no safety and he managed to pull it off with utmost brilliance. You can check
out the stunt here.
