#5 - Building Slide “Jackie Chan’s Who Am I?” (1998)
Top 20 Greatest Jackie Chan Stunts
The ol’ spy with amnesia set up, this film puts Chan on the run. Trapped on a tall building, he decides to escape via its slanted glass slope. A 21 floor drop on a 45-degree angle, it’s been billed as one of the world’s most dangerous stunts, taking Chan two weeks just to build up the nerve! Jeeze, what does it cost to insure this guy?
#4 - Construction Site Fight “Mr. Nice Guy” (1997)

#3 - Chan Vs Benny Urquidez “Wheels on Meals” (1984)
Top 10 Greatest Jackie Chan Stunts
Another flick, another quest to rescue a chick! This plot leads Chan to get caught in this grueling confrontation. Fighting American kick boxer Benny The Jet Urquidez, this is the fight that stands out for being the most realistic and highly praised fight of Chan’s career.

#2 - Clock Tower Triple Fall “Project A” (1983)
Top 10 Times Jackie Chan Got Seriously Injured
In this period piece, Chan plays a cop out to stop pirates. This eventually leads him to end up fighting in a clock tower. When gunfire forces him out on to the roof, he ends up dangling 60 feet up. Dropping, only two canopies stood in his way from hitting the floor full force. Unhappy with the shots during filming, Chan shot the stunt three times, hurting his neck in the process! You can actually see it because they kept the shot in the film, as well as the redo.
#1 – Drunken Boxing “Legend of the Drunken Master” (1994)
Taking the top spot on our list is Chan’s iconic flick in which his fighting ability is proportional to the amount of booze he’s consumed! As such he’s regularly being tossed bottles mid combat and drunkenly antagonizing his opponents. Some badly timed sobriety leads him to get beat up in a steel mill, and thrown onto hot coals. Only by drinking pure alcohol does Chan gain the upper hand! Without a doubt, this is definitely the most hilariously memorable Jackie Chan moment of them all… Agree with our list?
