Benny’s choreography was unique by the fact that he came up with his own ideas. He said in many interviews that Jackie and his stunt team would choreograph a scene and would then ask Benny what he would do. Benny would then choreograph what he was going to do in response. They worked the choreography like that brilliantly. Other films, Jackie would make the choreography and have the other actors follow it. Benny was more or less the sole exception.

My favorite is how, even after his "revelation" moment, Jackie still gets cocky a few times and pays for it (@5:30 is a great example). That's very Jackie. Most other leads don't do that, but it helps keep the tension as well as evolve the character.

You should do the wind tunnel fight from Operation Condor 2, that movie was full of killer scenes.

A lot of Chinese Martial Arts train to fight both Orthodox and Southpaw, Bruce Lee was the same way, mainly leading in Southpaw to keep the faster and stronger hand forward and cutting the distance to the target while also throwing the timing off most Orthodox fighters.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I watched this as a schoolkid. My mates and I watched every Jackie Chan video we could get our hands on.

The scene where the candles go out, he actually pulled a hamstring on one of the takes and they had to fan them out. Great cinematography.

benny did many interviews about this, i think he said they worked on this specific scene for like 2 months. Also he said they took a lot of his cues for the fight, like they kept asking him, what would you do in this situation, and benny would tell them and then they would set it up. So they would set it up on the fly, and then work on putting it together take after take. Benny also said they hit each other a lot of times, like they would make contact a lot, at one point benny kicked jackie chan in the chest really hard with that spinning back kick and jackie went flying, which is not disrespect to jackie chan, i mean benny outweighs him, and he's a bit taller, anybody would've went flying after taking one of his kicks.

Straight up street fighter scene

The music in the original is next level sounds like beat it

2:40 Jackie Chan specialized in boxing when he started as a stuntman for Bruce Lee. So I believe he is ambidextrous. Southpaw? Yes. As a kid looking at the camera angles and the choreography, I assumed that he always switched between right and left handed stances to capture the best of the choreography between him and the fellow actors he was fighting against.

i remember when i learn karate in 60s, my sensei says to me, if someone kicks you, block using your fist, let him taste the pain, the more the enemy throw a kick, the more your enemy will feel pain.. and i had a fight in school , i use his technic and i swear i am not doing it again..very dangerous.. Rip to my sensei Ogowa japan okinawa..

Well, I'm glad to hear tickling is banned in jujitsu. I would hate to join a competition and just lose because I was tickled. Even worse, I'm an "elf giggler". I'd feel extra weird losing that round.

not necessarily young cause he was 30 at the time, which was retirement age for competitive fighters back then (nowadays, 30 can be prime age for certain fighters, but Jackie is just crazy doing stunts until his 40s). At 30, u can expect Jackie to have incurred numerous injuries already on top of that.

Only 2 people in the world can wear suspenders and still look intimidating. Sensei Benny Urquidez and the late Robert Baker (petrov from Fist of Fury)

The only thing better than this fight, is their food truck at the start of the movie.

Benny Urquidez is one of the martial arts instructors who taught Shannon Lee (Bruce Lee's daughter).

Despite being choreographed Hong Kong style, it has the beauty of modern choreographies. Well, Benny’s real fights were beautiful with amazing technique, acted ones could only be better.

Jackie Chan is right-handed. He probably fights like that because traditional Chinese martial arts are less dogmatic about which foot you put in front, often switching between the two. Bruce Lee fought southpaw even though he was right-handed too, and would study footage of Muhammad Ali boxing, but flip the film on his projector so he could see how the technique could be done from southpaw. As for kicking out the candles, that's a bit of movie magic. They had a guy offscreen blow them out just as his foot went by them :)

for me the best fight in a movie

Looked like Jackie's stance was to be open to the camera as a 'Face'.
