When it comes to Jackie Chan movies, the beloved actor, singer, and stuntman is known for one thing above all else: The incredible Jackie Chan stunts that are the trademark of every Jackie Chan movie. The Drunken Master has done his own stunts for years, which has resulted in a litany of Jackie Chan injuries that would leave lesser actors six feet under.
As evidenced by the brutal Jackie Chan bloopers, Jackie Chan outtakes, and Jackie Chan moments he includes at the end of his films, this legend has a sense of humor about all the times he’s been Jackie Chan injured in a stunt gone wrong. The master of action comedy is more than just a series of Jackie Chan fighting and Jackie Chan stunt scenes, but over his long career full of amazing movies like Rumble in the Bronx, Rush Hour, Supercop, Police Story, City Hunter, and far more, the martial arts icon is most famous for his endurance and indestructibility. When you see a Jackie Chan stunt, you know that there’s a real person there, suffering for his art, but surviving to become a legend around the world.

Lemme get this straight this dude broke his spine like 5 times and is somehow healthier than me and I've never broken a bone
Edit: was hit by a bus and now have a six pack can confirm.

That means break all your bones

I’m pretty sure the real Chan is dead, and their are multiple “Jackie impostors” who have taken his place before they meet their own fate.
@C H E E S E Who you calling a “Mini Stalin”?
@C H E E S E Fair enough then.
Imagine how confused Death was standing next to Jackie Chan everytime he did a stunt.

They could have done so many movies together

Jackie Chan is the real definition of "what doesn't kill you only make you stronger".
All that stunt not only didn't kill him but also immortalize him forever. What a legend
because stuntman will die first before him czcams.com/video/ewytqhgt_Uo/video.html Yeah he is a legend.. legend that liar to his fans for until today also still
makes you stranger
More like, what kills you doesn't kill me.
or immobilize him forever
Jackie Chan: *falls in a dangerous fashion
Also Jackie Chan: Ok let's do it again.
Jackie literally risked his life for our entertainment. Years of service in the arts. Let's just embrace this legend!

The fact that Jackie is not a morphine addict fiend makes this man one of the hardest, resilient and badass people in the world.

I've always adored Jackie Chan and his incredible stunts. He's so creative and so funny. One of my favorite actors to watch for all time.
The real question is ...
How many doctors does he know?
Fare point
All of them
I'm sure by the time he reached his peak, he probably had his favourite/best doctors around him on set 24/7
HeLLCaT__ O7 but he didn’t get any insurance in china like they put him in the black list...😐
Wait yeah how many do they just have 100 doctor on set when filming Jackie's movie's

joseph liao and he is still alive. Ddaeng.
@@hyunjinsfallenrice5606 i see whatchu did
@@hyunjinsfallenrice5606 The scary part is that, by all means, he can still do fight scenes on his own. I mean, perfectly understandable (and preferable, both from his end and the audience's end) that no one would want him to do any stunt that requires him dropping to the ground by more than 6 inches... it just seems like he really, really wants to do more stunts... atleast that's the vibe I get off from him.
Heck forget how he’s still alive, how’s he still able to walk or still able to have his motor skills?! Mad respect for Jackie Chan. He’s earned every dollar he’s made.
Nah bro he doesn't........He deserves x10 the amount he's earned
through the video, i wanna say why Jackie got respect from people all over the world is not just because his actions are funny or any other reasons, most important reason is because he paid his life
Doctor: Your leg is completely broken and it swells to twice the size.
Jackie: I need a bigger shoe!
'Tis but a scratch
One day (hopefully far away) a Coroner in a morgue will announce Mr Chan's time of death, at which point Jackie will sit up and ask for a second opinion

Jackie has 1 life, he just, unlike others, only loses a fraction of his life when doing stunts.
My heart is shivering in fear seeing him do all those stunts..
He is one of my heroes after my dad. When I was a kid my father find his dvd’s for every week to watch with him. Thank you so much for all those good movies Jackie Chan

Mahesh Thakur racist
*Fun* *Fact* : Jackie Chan and his stunt team are blacklisted by all insurance companies so he has to pay himself whenever somebody in his movies gets hurt. Jackie has voluntarily agreed to pay for the cost of the treatment for the injuries sustained during a stunt for the entire life of the injured team member.
OMG..😨.
Understandable
This is a sad fact
legend
If I ran an Incurrence company, I would insure him.
Would be great marketing. The only Incurrence company with the balls to insure Jackie Chan

JACKIE : oh no ! anyways
and the best part about all those injuries is that he goes onto talk shows to tell stories ... and it always makes audience laugh. very likeable dude indeed :)
"How the hell is Jackie Chan still alive?"
because he's a protagonist
Indeed!
His plot armor could defeat the entire GoT franchise, and somehow still be the most likeable character in the story and fight.
Well, he definitely has the agony part down.
He is *THE* protagonist...
*then who is the antagonist-?*
I'm so happy Jackie got an Oscar for his work. This man is a treasure. Great video.

BiboDL shaking his fist while doing it too
Rumble in the Bronx is hilarious

shanghai heroes is good too
My fav was “DAMN! He ain’t gon be in rush hour 3”
The MICHAEL JORDAN of stunts. To be so good at something, you get this title. AMAZING person to watch work.
that level of dedication i need that in my life.
There are two types of actors
1. Jackie Chan
2. I don't care.
Good for you.

Jackie: no, it’s your time

Haha lol
Sadly there will be a day when we'll hear the news (if we're still alive) of Jackie's passing. However, knowing Chinese race - their average life expectancy is damn high compared to us average scrubs

Reverse card
Umair Saleem yep, the average male is considered to live about 80-100 years. Females are considered to live ~90 years. While Indians and Chinese, well, Asians as a whole live more than a 100 years thanks to their food diet.
Jackie chan is the living embodiment of "Tis but a scratch"
Me who just watched around the world in 80 days: I see this as an absolute win
This is painful to watch but we’re all still glad he’s alive.
Seriously. After seeing just the first stunt falling through the two awnings, I had to pause to catch my breath. And he did it two more times? Jesus, Jackie.
he made all american and european stuntmen look like babies...that's why he's the grand daddy of parkour
Wrong, hes the grand daddy of free running, theres a difference
Why does that sound so wrong.
Orbital Nexus dosent come close
Ermm yeah you are all kinda wrong here, sorry folks. David Belle practically invented Parkour and Sébastien Foucan is pretty much regarded as the founder of Freerunning.

You such a nerd.. 😂😂😂
Salute to him, he put his real life into movies. Not everyone is willing to do that.

Awesome man... me too...
How Jackie Chan and Tom Cruise haven't made a movie together is mind-boggling
Insurance companies are not ready for that :P
the insurance budget would be double the movie budget
When I saw that helicopter scene it just reminded me the action superstar "Jayan" from our southern state Kerala India who lost his life in an helicopter hanging scene during 80's in the movie " Kolilakkam" which literally means controversy where he fell down from the helicopter while doing a real stunt.
Jackie Chan is truly a legend.
The different between Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan was that: Tom wants to stay alive by time he delivers a movie, Jackie doesn't know if he'll survive a stunt while filming.
Crazy right, and he is still alive.. lol
He's like Vikings : they didn't die while fighting because they were ready to die and wanted it to happen on the battlefield. He's their cinematic equivalent.
You would get a very different answer if you asked stuntmen who worked with both of them…
@@awesomereviews1561 what would they say?
