Jackie Chan Documentary (1989) - Son of the Incredibly Strange Film Show

Фильм және анимация

Jonathan Ross looks at the work of comedy martial-arts movie actor, director & stuntman, Jackie Chan. This was episode 1 of 'Son of the Incredibly Strange Film Show', which aired on British TV Channel 4 in 1989.
This video was transfered from my old VHS recording, and because it is rare and not commercially available I thought it should be uploaded for everyone to enjoy.

    I think Jonathan Ross deserves some credit for introducing Asian cinema (e.g. Hong Kong action movies and Japanese anime) to the UK.

    Johnatan R.- How much longer are you going to keep doing this stunts? Jackie C.- I think 3-4 more years. This documentary was recorded in 1989. Now we write 2016 and Jackie is making a new movie. This guy is just pure steel and adrenaline.

    @crichtonIASA Not Rumble in the Bronx. I would say Who Am I in 1998 was the last movie to have great stunts. Then in 2000s the only good work is New Police Story (2004) and among his American movies, Shanghai Knights (2003) had the most creative stunt work.

    Thanks for uploading this! Watching this from HK on CNY. I saw this program on Channel 4 in the U.K. when it first aired. Jackie is literally one of a kind and I believe Police Story 1 was his greatest film in terms of the set pieces ie the police raid in the shanty town which is still breathtaking in it’s magnitude with no CGI use. The fight choreography in the final shopping mall scene was incredible and unparalleled in modern day cinema. You can see the injuries he sustained in the outtakes at the end of his films. No one has ever suffered as much as Jackie for his art. Although Tom Cruise makes great action movies, he still has the use of modern CGI and safety wires to protect him from serious harm. Knowing Jackie had none of these in that film makes me admire and appreciate what him and his stunt team gave to HK cinema in the 80s and early 90s. Sadly for us this type of spectacle will never be seen again.

    I remember seeing this documentary before I knew who Jackie was (or who Jonathan Ross was, for that matter). I made an effort to find his movies after that - not long before Rush Hour first came out, and his movies were coming to video in America more around that time - and I've been a fan ever since. But I forgot that was him in Cannonball Run!

The kind of place where you could rent three movies for 50p (seriously) but you'd never watch the kind of movies that you could get for that price (lots of Indian action movies). But he literally had every Jackie Chan move and I devoured them all over the coming weeks.

    Thank you. To think that Jackie Chan made 100 films by the time he was 30 and he said for 3 more years and yet he has been working for 30 more years! He is very special. And he is cute. Interestingly, he thinks of himself as ugly but he is kind of cute. He can be good-looking too, I wonder if he were never told. But what is most amazing is that even today there are people who doubt both his and Bruce Lee's skills as martial artists saying they were just actors. I am always stunned when people come up with these ridiculous ideas, when they were always so fast that the moves cannot even be seen on the camera. Anyway, it is great to watch this old documentary with Jonathan Ross. I like the guy he is a clever but he is also a likeable one. Thank you for uploading it, so we could enjoy it too.

    Ive watched several BTS and although occasionally some are filmed at 22 and played back at 24, most moves in reality are filmed at regular speed or SLOWED DOWN. These guys are incredibly fast. Ie: in Forbidden Kingdom, Jackie and Jet were told to slow it down because the camera was catching a blur instead of the action making the total scene unclear.
