While I was at the Tube' searching for a vid of Jackie Chan's cosplay of Chun Li for her birthday thread, I took some time to watch a couple of Jackie Chan-related vid links. Hence, the inspiration for this thread (arigatou, Penance-san for mentioning Chun Li's "cameo" in a Jackie film).
I also thought of making this thread open for general discussion and contribution of martial arts and related stunt materials, armed or unarmed, instead of limiting it to just Jackie Chan, as there are many other great martial artists who made their names in the movies, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris,Tony Jaa, to name a few.
What this thread DO welcome:-
1) Jaw-dropping, heart-stopping, adrenaline-pumping, gut-cringing, rectum-contracting, sh*t-inducing raw martial arts fight materials and related stunts!
2) General martial arts discussion.
3) Fights or stunts involving wireworks and mysticism (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Prince of Persia, Indiana Jones) are acceptable as long as there are elements of martial arts or acts of great athleticism in them.
4) Slapstick or fight parodies 4tehLULz such as THIS and THIS to lighten up the thread.
What this thread DO NOT welcome:-
1) Evil Knievel and all those stunts. No, no lame circus acts here, folks.
2) David Blaine and all those hocus pocus. No, no magic tricks either.
3) Fear Factor, Whipeout, Takeshi's Castle, yadda yadda... Seriously?
So, I shall start the ball rolling with Jackie Chan.
Though he gained global recognition from starring in Hollywood films, the gist of his talent stems from his early days in Chinese movies. Here are the Jackie vids I found done and narrated by the Nerd himself, James "Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe.
The following lists James' top 10 Jackie Chan's fight scenes. DAMN, it makes me wanna watch those movies over and over and over again.

WARNING!!! The following vid may not be too graphic to watch, but it will make your stomach, skin, bones, muscles, eyes, ears, brain or even your hair cringe watching the punishment Jackie Chan takes for the sake of our movie enjoyment.
And yet, after all that, he still walks among us to tell his tales.
A lot of his moves aren't really martial arts per se, as they are simply displays of great athleticism, agility and acrobatics, improvisation of props, his surroundings and situational scenarios, and a little screw loose in the head. Martial arts are truly fleshed out in direct confrontations with the opponents.
Though he is still involved in the showbiz, thank sanity he has retired from actively performing stunts and fight scenes. Truly, Jackie Chan >>> Chuck Norris × 9001.
