7Project A
Two films
The movie that watch the creation of Jackie Chan ’s own official stunt team , the originalProject Awas an challenging action drollery that saw some of the most unsafe and elaborate stunts of the role player ’s life history . The rootage of Chan ’s long history act as officer of the law , the actor stars as the valiant Sergeant Dragon Ma , a military police officer of the Hong Kong sent on a military mission to pacify a striation of ferocious buccaneer . undertaking A 2saw Dragon Ma retort , this prison term hop to quell depravity brewing within the Hong Kong police force from the inside out .
Featuring a young Jackie Chan , his youthful enthusiasm is on full presentation as Dragon Ma in both of theProject Amovies . Beingthe first film to allow Chan to truly design his own stunts , some of the exploit of daring he pull off in this franchise are incredibly impressive , admit one ofChan ’s most famous action scenesin which he hang off of a clock towboat . However , stacked up against his recent study , the duology does n’t offer much that other film in Chan ’s catalogue do n’t do better , essentially a beta super bull action at law movie thatPolice Storywould ameliorate upon .
6Rush Hour
Three films
The original unlikely buddy - fuzz pairing of Jackie Chan ’s career and arguably the first film to hone the subgenre in Hollywood , Rush Hourwas something of a sensation , opening at number 1 at the box function among high - profile competition likeTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . The hit of worlds between Jackie Chan ’s adorable Chief Inspector Lee and Chris Tucker ’s ineffable Detective James Carter is the clobber of Hollywood legend , the two bounce off of each other and bickering all the way through their investigating to the sound of a blockbuster mavin .
For all the laugh the film serial publication offers , it ’s also surprisingly drear , center on around the tense kidnapping of a young missy with bad cat that do n’t meet around . That being said , the dealership slowly lose its boundary over the course of the 2d and third films , wringing the premiss of the unbelievable union far past its departure date . When the charm of the starring duo wears away , the poorly - cured racial humor , recycle jokes from Jackie Chan ’s early motion-picture show , and general lack of effort in the posterior films slowly makes itself unmistakable , fading the appeal of theRush Hourfranchise .
5Shanghai Noon
The second of Jackie Chan ’s franchises to take advantage of the actor ’s lastingness as a atomic number 27 - star pair with an unlikely ally , Shanghai Noonthrust the Formosan martial artistic creation star into the Wild West opposite Owen Wilson ’s crook triggerman . The comedic contrast of Owen Wilson ’s laid - back grit and Chan ’s relentless energy was enough to prompt a subsequence , Shanghai Knights , which pretty sullied the winning formula by turning the sidekick - fuzz activity skylark into an eyeroll - worthy Pisces the Fishes - out - of - weewee account in London . Still , the franchise overall offered enough laughs and chemical science between Wilson and Chan to not be the weakest of the actor ’s many film series .
4Kung Fu Panda
Four films
Despite its silly premise , theKung FuPandamovieshave easy grown to become the most pop invigorate martial arts moving-picture show around , with Jackie Chan ’s liaison being an obvious selling full point . In the first three films , Jacki Chan bestow his voice acting accomplishment to Monkey , a appendage of the Furious Five , theKung Fu Pandaworld ’s most elect fighting force of soldierlike artists . While admittedly a modest role , Jackie Chan ’s Monkey is keen to steal any scene he ’s in , quick with a joke and even faster on his apposable - thumbed foot in a brawl .
Beyond a prima famous person plaster bandage , the franchise does an unbelievable job blending easterly ism with spectacular Kung Fu action . Unfortunately , it seems the upcomingKung Fu Panda 4will drastically cut the screen fourth dimension of the Furious Five , mean Jackie Chan ’s Monkey wo n’t have much of a presence , if he appears at all . A true shame considering that the serial publication , if anything , was already underutilizing Jackie Chan ’s abilities as a core character .
3Armour Of God
Yet another series to follow out of Jackie Chan ’s crowded 80s calling , the firstArmour Of Godintroduced the actor as Asian Hawk , a hoarded wealth hunting watch that offers a martial artistic creation - infuse spin onIndiana Jones , similarly contend with cults and national socialist warfare criminals over the self-command of rarified artifacts . The ceaseless momentum of Chan ’s stunt work in the first two motion-picture show is propelled by the creative premise , utilizing the pre - World War II backdrop to great event . Shockingly , this enfranchisement chair toJackie Chan ’s individual spoilt injuryafter a everyday stunt went unsound , examine the performing artist ’s death - defying commitment to his employment .
Regrettably , the dealership fall off of a drop with the third film , CZ12 , also bang as Armour of God 3 , which see Asian Hawk trail slip idol of the Chinese Zodiac . With none of the strenuosity , dazzling stage dancing , or refreshing step of the first two films , all that was leave for audience to grapple with the awkward loyal messaging , nonsensical secret plan , and unreasonably prospicient runtime . For as influential as theArmour Of Godmovies were on Jackie Chan ’s calling , the character of Asian Hawk was forever marred by a unsatisfying reappearance in the third flick , tragically sullying the franchise ’s legacy .
2Police Story
Seven films
constabulary Storyis the most all-encompassing flick dealership of Jackie Chan ’s career , and it ’s easy to see why . coalesce Kung Fu with comedy , crime , drama , and some of the most breathless stunt of Chan ’s entire filmography , thePolice Storymoviesare astoundingly uniform in quality for how numerous and bloated the series became . Once again placing Jackie Chan as a fellow member of the Royal Hong Kong police force , Police Storystrikes an impossible balance of drama , comedy , and mindless action setpieces that all somehow mould in tandem despite seeming like they should compromise one another .
The following moving picture actually bring off to improve on the chemical formula , withPolice Story 2pushing the bound of danger and connive even further andPolice Story 3adding in the talents of Michelle Yeoh ofCourching Tiger , Hidden Dragonfame . The story would be rebooted twice with the late films , with the aptly titledNew Police Storyin 2004 andPolice Story 2013 in , of course , 2013 . While these reboots could n’t quite retain the same legerdemain of the original continuity , they were still earnest efforts that realise the spirit of the franchise while taking the narrative in a unexampled , more serious guidance .
1Drunken Master
Jackie Chan ’s breakout role and some of the greatest Kung Fu movies ever made , Drunken MasterandDrunken Master IIstand the test of fourth dimension as jaw - cast action glasses with a ton of heart . Chan ’s Wong - Fei hung , well known in the West as " Freddie Wong " , is a hilarious , yet relatable everyman protagonist that ’s easier to root for compare to his other heroes , and Chan had a marvellous outcome on pop civilisation as a whole with his enrapturing " Drunken Fist " fighting style . From the first - rate combat choreography to the hilarious jokes and gags , theDrunken Masterfilms are undoubtedlyJackie Chan ’s best .
