That is incredible. His movements were the fastest, crispest I've seen in a long time, and by the end of the fight I was certain he could do comedy as well. Had he lived longer and decided to be in front of the camera, he could have been big.

You know what’s crazy? the fact that Brad himself said that he never wanted to be an actor. He just wanted to do stuntwork which is kind of a shame because I would have loved to see him showcasing them extraordinary skills in bigger roles

Read the book Of Jasher, and maybe study all religions, also find out who constructed them. There is Logos in all but you have to read the real deal researchers of 1800s & before; because most books are written with a formalised uniformatarianism narrative, and it hides that Genesis what really re-genesis, after a cataclysm hence 'go forth and repopulate(multiply). The Gospel of Ma rcion also has useful info. Then there is the 4 floods written in our proper history backed by chronology, much has been obscured & editted to hide the truth. . . . Giants are also the commonality in all the epics, but really they're bigger humans that live under a Vapo ur Can opy, which when it fell caused one of the past flood stories. Follow sub to who I do & test your be'lie'fs.

Well, in this movie you don't have classical villains. Jackie has a rival in business who he used to be friends with but they are out of touch now. Brad was hired by this busieness man but not to hurt him. He was hired to show Jackie that he isn't the best in more than one field. And Brad accepted the contract not because of the money, he accepted because he really wants strong competition. It's actually their second fight. Brad won their first one because Jackie was out of shape. During that first fight Brad used continously bigger gloves to give Jackie the edge and to not seriously hurt him. That's why it is so significient in this match that it is now reversed: He started out with big gloves and had to change them for smaller ones. Also, ultimately all of this benefited both of them. Jackie's life was downspiralling even though he didn't notice it because he was rich. He was out of shape not only physically, he was also falling behind in business and he lacked a meaningful relationship. It's unusual for a Jackie Chan movie but this one is actually mainly a love story. That first challenge fight kicked off his transformation, he started to train seriously and as a side effect he also revised other aspects of his life including his relationship with a love interest. He didn't have to work hard for anything for a long time. So, all in all Brad and his former business buddy did Jackie a favour because by the end of the movie, he got his bite back (and the lady of course). I like this movie for all of these aspects which are a departure from the typical formulas. He didn't fight for that girl as a trophy or something, there is no bloodthirsty villain as the "boss encounter" and the sportsmanship between these two is phenomenal. I still prefer Jackies true classics like Dragons Forever, Wheels on Meals, Drunken Master II and Projet A, however, it's refreshing and important that Jackie has movies like this in his resume.

"Gorgeous" is such a great and innocent movie, stuck in a single moment in history and seems content to stay there, and yet beloved by fans for its tiny unique quirks, considering it being a Jackie Chan movie. I don't even remember much about it, but its impression lingers. Jackie Chan plays a very inward character this time around, to contrast Shu Qi's more outward personality. Very refreshing to see Jackie's performance in this.

Definitely one of Jackie's best fights. The movie in general had less of that type of action than your typical Jackie film, but this fight makes up for it.

Such a satisfying scene!! The respect between fighters and the footwork and boxing and Allen's kicks... Phenomenal!!

This fight is MAGNIFICENT. I don't think I've ever seen such a high level of technique mixed with hilarious comedy in a film. Still unbeaten, for me.

I really thought brad allen was going to be the next jackie chan. His movement and timing in jcs style of choreo is so perfect and this is the best kickboxing fight scene ever put to film. RIP.

It almost makes me cry to see these kinds of fights - both fighting hard but still having respect for each other. This is a fight that I find myself grinning from start to finish.

awesomeness, if I'm not mistaken, Brad was one of the few fighters that didn't make Jackie slow down during their fight scenes.

I love it! Martial Arts should, at it's core, be about enjoying yourself and having fun, I think. This whole scene just embodies that philosophy so well

This is by far my favorite fight scene of all time. There isn't any good guy vs. bad guy dynamic, or any ill will or animosity between the people involved. It's just two people who have both trained hard and are having a friendly match without cheating to see who is the better fighter. BJ Allen is fantastic as well, and I believe after this film he became the head guy for the Jackie Chan Stunt Team and has worked with Jackie on choreography and a lot of stuff behind the scenes ever since. Pretty sure he's also supposed to be the lead fight choreographer for the upcoming Shang Chi film for Marvel as well.

One of my favorites fight scenes of all time. And there's a lot of comedy and sportsmanship involved, which also makes it light and fun to watch.

We just lost Brad Allan. Such a dope martial artist....RIP buddy..

Wanted to see this after what has happened, Rest In Peace Brad Allen

I love the respect and sportsmanship in this fight.

Honestly, I don't care where the guy is from...he went on screen with Jackie and looks great; That's all I need.

The part where Brad change his glove, is because he assumes Jacky's punch are not powerful (as shown in their first fight), therefore giving him a handicap to play fair. but after Jacky's training, his punches becomes heavy and powerful, thus decided to change his gloves to match his strength. One of the best Jacky Chan fight scene in my opinion, RIP Brad Allen 🙏

most of jackie's fights are "upbeat" and "good natured" by default given his choreography and performance, but i always liked this one because of how genuinely good natured it felt, in and out of context. it's rare to see this side of martial arts displayed in films, especially nowadays

I LOVE these old school martial arts fights where the fighters are adversarial but still respectful of one another. After all, if anyone is going to understand exactly what it takes to reach that level of skill its them and that DESERVES respect no matter what else is going on.

I love Gorgeous. Even among Jackie Chan's long list of awesome fight scenes, Gorgeous has always stood out to me. I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that Brad Allen's character, if just a cool guy when they go at it. He's not looking to be a dick or malicious trying to cause harm, he just wants a good fight and, especially during round 2, that's exactly what he gets.

One can see how much fun they had filming this scene.

One of the greatest Jackie Chan fights for sure.

There are 4 fights you should react to . Jackie Chan vs Benny the Jet (meals on wheels) Jackie chan vs Benny the Jet( Dragons Forever) Bruce lee vs Chuck Norris (Wrath of the Dragon Jet Li vs kong lung (Black Mask)

As a Chinese myself, I really can tell that the actors are having a great time in this movie, after watching so many Kungfu movies~~

Holy shit! I just saw an actual butterfly kick here. That was sick!

Always enjoy watching Jackie Chan's comedy in films like Rush Hour, Rumble in the Bronx, Drunken Master. I always loved that he was the opposite of many if his contemporaries in that they wanted to be badass hero whereas Jackie loved playing the scrappy underdog.

I like how you rooted for Brad for being Australian but little did you know Jackie spent some of his youth growing up in Australia haha

I think my favorite thing about this fight is that they are both willing to put the fight on hold for a moment rather than pressing every advantage they get for maximum effect.

Lmao I love how in a lot of Chan fight scenes, partway through he'll have some stupid epiphany that totally works. Like in that one where he's like "treat it like training", and same here with the smile. It's like psyching out your opponent. Everyone knows there ain't nothing scarier than crazy/unpredictable

What makes me admire Jackie Chan and his art the most is the humility of being "not invincible"... the guy who can get hit and return the blow! And so he manages to show the Martial Arts to the fullest, because his opponents are also big, as in this extraordinary fight!

We will never forget you brad..#Facts

One thing to look for in Jackie Chan movies is that he and whoever is fighting are always wearing contrasting colors so they stand out and are distinct. If Jackie is wearing white, his opponent is usually in dark colors, and vice versa.

One of my fav movie fights of all time. So underrated tho.

Best thing about this fight is the mutual respect they show to one another.

6:24 The character that he touches means laugh or smile, so that's why his expression changes when he reenters the fight.

For some reason most people I've seen thinks it is an advantage to have the bigger gloves lol. This is such a beautifully choreographed fight. It just looks attractive.
