#10: Jackie Chan vs. Donnie Yen “Shanghai Knights” (2003)
Top 20 Jackie Chan Fights
Who could possibly hold their own against Jackie? Well, the star of the “Ip Man” series might be a safe bet. In this uproarious comedy sequel, Jackie returns to the role of Chon ‘John Wayne’ Wang, who finds himself trading blows with Donnie Yen’s villainous Wu Chow as he tries to prevent the British royal family from being assassinated. Of course this isn’t your average brawl between two master martial artists, since the pair has to avoid being mowed down by a machine gun as they duke it out.
#9: On the Ropes “Miracles” (1989)
Top 10 Jackie Chan Moments
Even in the director’s chair, Jackie doesn’t hesitate to throw himself into the fray when it comes to wild fight scenes. In this Hong Kong variation of Frank Capra’s “Lady for a Day,” Jackie takes on the role of a kind-natured individual who finds himself in the awkward position as leader of a notorious gang. Coming into conflict with a rival boss, Jackie ends up having to take out an entire swarm of goons inside a rope factory. As you can guess, the rope work is damn impressive, made all the better by the fight’s comedic edge.
#8: Jackie Chan vs. Brad Allan “Gorgeous” (1999)
Top 10 Greatest Jackie Chan Stunts
The course of true love never did run smooth, but when Jackie’s involved you can expect there to be some kind of fight added to the mix. After becoming smitten with a gorgeous woman named Bu, their whirlwind romance is interrupted by a rival businessman who becomes so determined to take Jackie out that he hires some extra muscle, played by Australian martial artist Brad Allan, to take him down a peg. Try not to blink; otherwise you’ll miss the flurry of fists and comedic dance that takes place.
#7: Don’t Break the Artifacts! “Rush Hour” (1998)
Top 10 Jackie Chan Movies
Who would have guessed that all Jackie needed to smash into mainstream Hollywood is his usual brand of action choreography… and Chris Tucker. While at a Chinese art exhibition, Inspector Lee finds himself not only having to take out multiple thugs, but also ensuring that the exhibits don’t end up destroyed, which is pretty tricky when you’re getting the crap kicked out of you. The only thing more priceless than the artifacts on display is the look on Jackie’s face when one of them gets blown to bits.
#6: Environment Takedown “Rumble in the Bronx” (1995)
This is the film that gave the west their first real look at the awesomeness that is Jackie Chan. It may have been long overdue, but it certainly made an impression with audiences, with one a hell of a fight scene being especially memorable. Caught up in an escalating feud with several gang members, Jackie’s Hong Kong cop shows them why he’s not to be messed with as he takes down the villainous Tony and his cronies’ singlehandedly. Not only does he get to show off his martial arts prowess; he also uses everything from tables, chairs, shopping carts, and even a fridge to his advantage.
#5: The Ladder “Police Story 4: First Strike” (1996)
Top 10 Times Jackie Chan Got Seriously Injured
One of Jackie’s longest running series has no shortage of epic moments, and while the playground fight from “Police Story 2” is all well and good, there’s just no comparison to the now legendary fight scene in which the Chan Man takes a ladder and turns it into a lethal weapon. Even the plot—which involves nuclear warheads and a killer shark—pales in comparison to Jackie artfully wielding a ladder and taking down a room full of Triads in the process. It just goes to show that you can give this guy anything and he’ll find a way to make it an exquisite source of pain for his foes.
#4: Jackie Chan vs. Benny Urquidez “Wheels on Meals” (1984)
Another Top 10 Jackie Chan Moments
If there’s one man who could give Jackie a run for his money, even back in his prime, it was Benny ‘The Jet” Urquidez. Playing a fast food truck owner with some serious skills when it comes to martial arts, Jackie finds himself once again caught up in a criminal syndicate’s activities, eventually leading to a confrontation with The Jet himself. In a full on east vs. west showdown, these two masters of their craft prove what they’re made of. With a castle for their battleground, you can practically feel the impact of every punch that’s doled out. Bon appetit.
#3: Jackie Chan vs. Benny Urquidez: Round Two “Dragons Forever” (1988)
Jackie Chan Vs Jet Li
We get to see Jackie and The Jet duke it out again! This time, Chan is playing a lawyer hired by a chemical company to try and discredit a local fishery claiming they’re polluting the water. Jackie’s investigation soon leads him to take the law into his own hands when he finds himself the target of a narcotics kingpin. As you might have guessed, the villain’s main henchman is played by Benny, who really gets a chance to shine as he takes on both Jackie and fellow martial arts extraordinaire Sammo Hung. Guess you just can’t beat The Jet when it comes to playing minions.
#2: The Mall “Police Story” (1985)
Top 10 Funniest Jackie Chan Movie Fight Scenes
The stunt work in this scene alone is a sight to behold. Trapped in a mall, hunted down by a slew of goons, Jackie goes full-on super-cop and not only takes each of them out, but also manages to destroy most of the store in the process. Whether he’s slamming enemies into glass fixtures, running them over with a motorcycle, leaping over escalators, or that infamous moment when he slides down a pole wrapped in light bulbs, a lot of bones are broken and we can all agree that the whole scene is an action masterpiece. Before we reveal our number one pick, here are a few butt-kicking honorable mentions. - Bunker Brawl “Armour of God II: Operation Condor” (1991) - Jackie Chan vs. Pirates “Project A” (1983) - Rooftop Showdown “Who Am I?” (1998)
#1: The Fury of Drunken Boxing “Drunken Master II” (1994)
Bruce Lee vs Jackie Chan
What would later become known as “The Legend of Drunken Master” in North America, this film’s final fight sequence is unrivalled when it comes to its choreography, resulting in a furious feast for the eyes as Jackie exchanges fists with two deadly henchmen inside a factory. While he manages to dispose of one easily, the other proves to be far too skilled for Jackie to handle… that is until he ingests some industry alcohol. What follows is a demonstration of his drunken boxing at its best as he goes full-on beast mode. And this is why Jackie Chan is the man.
