Rush Hour 3 (2007)

Rush Hour 3 is the third installment in the action comedy film series starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, that began with Rush Hour (1998) and continued with Rush Hour 2 (2001). It is in pre-production as of July 2005. The film has been recently delayed and was pushed back to 2006. In November 2005 New Line Cinema was able to sign both actors. Producers aim to keep the budget under US$120 million. 

The sequel will be set starting in New York City, where Rush Hour 2 left off, then into an undecided country in Africa, rumors that Jackie Chan prefers it to be in Egypt, yet Chris Tucker, South Africa.. Variety reported in May 2005 that the film was going ahead on a budget of around US$100 million as soon as Chris Tucker signed a two-picture, $40 million contract with New Line Cinema for Rush Hour 3 and an unrelated film, but Jackie Chan said in July that, despite being a "good friend", Tucker was making too many demands such as final cut approval and an increased salary . The future of the project had been cast into doubt the previous month when it was announced that Brett Ratner, who directed the first two films, had signed on to direct X-Men 3. However, Ratner has confirmed that he will do Rush Hour 3, right after X-Men 3.

 

Project BB (2006)

Jackie Chan is a lucky man. At the age of 51, he can still do action. However, his dream is to be the actor who can fight and no longer the fighter who can act. After his action-drama 'New Police Story' comes his next 'different' Jackie-Chan-movie called 'Project BB'. Chan wrote it himself and it is about three gangster (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao) who kidnap a little baby. They get in a lot of trouble during trying to take care of the child. It drives them crazy and hence we can expect them not only to be the anti-heroes of this film, but also real villains. Jackie Chan said in an interview that there would be a scene where his character purposely burns the baby's hand with a cigarette. Let's hope that Chan's promise of a great and unique type of comedy film will become reality.

So what's he to do but steal the negatives, polarizing all of Tinseltown with the scandal?

Jackie Chan's First Strike (1997)

Action/Adventure
In director Stanley Tong's action-packed film, martial arts megastar Jackie Chan (as a Hong Kong police officer named Jackie) battles on land, in the air, and underwater in his efforts to help both the CIA and a Russian intelligence agency retrieve a stolen Ukrainian nuclear warhead. Sent on an easy tailing job, Jackie gets more than he bargained for and is soon fighting for survival on a frozen mountaintop against gun-toting baddies on skis and snowmobiles. Luckily the chase sends him to warm Australia, but danger still comes at Jackie from all angles--including sharks from below. As with other scintillating Tong-Chan partnerships, FIRST STRIKE features classic Chan-style slapstick comedy and balletic fight sequences, including an unforgettable warehouse brawl in which his only allies are a stepladder and a broomstick. Chan's already incomparable legend as a daredevil stuntman is fortified by a virtually unbroken string of dangerous acrobatics and by the news, upon the film's release, that its star contracted severe hypothermia after filming a plunge into an ice-glutted lake.

 

Jackie Chan's Second Strike (1997)

Rumble in the Bronx (1996)

Action/Adventure
After years as the biggest star in Asia, Jackie Chan (abetted by his able collaborator director Stanley Tong) took North America by storm in 1996 with RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, the first Hong Kong film to make it to number one at the U.S. box office. Keung (Chan) visits his uncle in the Bronx and ends up helping protect a local grocery store from thugs. A beautiful neighbor's involvement with the gang catapults Keung into even more trouble, and it will take all of his wits--and whiplike kicks--to save himself. The film introduced Chan's original combination of masterful martial arts and goofy comedy to a widespread American audience. As in other Chan movies, blooper scenes run during the credits, showcasing the hilarious and disastrous blunders made during filming and revealing that Chan, who performs all his own stunts, seems willing to take mind-boggling risks to create his distinctive brand of celluloid magic.

In the process, they become involved in a cruise ship hijacking. The film based on a popular Japanese comic strip.

 

Twin Dragons (1992)

Art/Foreign
It is a tradition in the Hong Kong film community for actors and directors to donate their time and the profits from a film in order to raise funds for various causes. TWIN DRAGONS was part of an effort of the Hong Kong Directors Guild to build a new headquarters. Ringo Lam and Hark Tsui split the director’s job and Jackie Chan splits the lead in two by playing twins separated at birth. They are brought back together when the nonviolent concert pianist John Ma comes to Hong Kong and becomes involved in the life of his streetfighting twin, Boomer. Although it is conceived as a comedy and an obvious satire of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s own twin brother film, DOUBLE IMPACT, there is plenty of action, including both car and boat chases. A complicated love story develops, with the usual mistaken identity problems, when Tammy (Nina Li Chi) and Barbara (Maggie Cheung) keep wondering why their boyfriend’s personalities keep changing. Cheung, who is best known for her stunning performance in Wong Kar-Wai’s IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, plays the foil to both characters with her usual sparkle. Chan provides the well-choreographed fights. Directors Lam, Tsui, and John Woo make cameo appearances.

 

 

 

Jackie Chan's The Prisoner (1990)

Art/Foreign
Jackie Chan plays a shrewd cop who goes undercover with a team of mercenaries when a man he put away two years before commits a murder. The film features the great Sammo Hung as well as the terrific Tony Leung Ka Fai.

 

Operation Condor (1990)

Action/Adventure and Art/Foreign
Jackie Chan is the world's greatest secret agent, code name CONDOR, who has been sent to track down stolen Nazi gold buried beneath the Sahara. He is pursued by a band of terrorists trying to beat him to the hidden bounty. Along the way he must protect a pair of beautiful yet klutzy women. A high-spirited action-comedy with plenty of good-natured slapstick fun for everyone. This film was released in the U.S. as "Operation Condor," but is also known as "Armour of God II." The original "Armour of God" is a Hong Kong film that was released in the U.S. under the title "Operation Condor 2" despite the fact that it was made BEFORE "Operation Condor."

 

Miracles (1989)

Art/Foreign
A simple boy from the country (Chan) travels to Hong Kong in the 1930s where he accidentally saves the life of a mob boss. He soon moves through the world of crime until he finds himself on top, where he has to fight off a rival gang, while falling in love with a beautiful nightclub singer. A loose Hong Kong remake of the classic Frank Capra film A POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES, featuring some of Chan's most charming and thrilling work. Winner of awards for Best Actor and Best Action Sequence at the 1990 Hong Kong Film Awards.

 

 

 

Police Story 2 (1988)

Art/Foreign
Like a cross between Charlie Chaplin and a blender, Chan is back on the case of Chinese drug smugglers.

 

Dragons Forever (1987)

Art/Foreign
Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung pioneered kung-fu comedy, and nowhere is their zaniness more evident than in DRAGONS FOREVER. Chan plays an amoral lawyer hired to defend a corporation polluting a local fish farm. He employs his friends (Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao) to dig up dirt on the fishery, but in the course of their hijinks, Chan and Hung end up falling in love with the people they are supposed to spy on. Despite the film's title, DRAGONS FOREVER is, sadly, the last film in the 20th century in which Chan, Hung, and Biao--former classmates in a Peking Opera troupe called the Seven Fortunes--acted together. It is also the only film where one can see them fight each other simultaneously. Yuen Wah, another former member of the Seven Fortunes, appears with the three "kung-fu-teers" as a cigar-smoking villain. The climactic fight features Chan against the kickboxing champion Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, in a rematch of their famous battle in WHEELS ON MEALS, which many consider to be the ultimate Chan fight sequence.

 

 

Jackie Chan's Project A2 (1987)

Jackie Chan finds a new set of adventures as Dragon Ma, the only good cop in turn-of-the-century Hong Kong. This time he's assigned to clean up corruption in a local town while getting involved with a band of rebels. Chan wrote, directed and starred in this exciting blend of action and comedy.

 

 

Naughty Boys (1986)

Art/Foreign
Chan only has a cameo in this nevertheless top-notch martial arts picture featuring virtually unknown kung fu masters.

 

 

 

Heart of Dragon (1985)

Art/Foreign
The portly Hung plays a gentle retarded man and Chan his brother struggling to care for him. Of course, a violent subplot gives Chan a chance to display his martial arts skills in what is one of his most sensitive films.

My Lucky Stars (1985)

Art/Foreign
Because the success of the first LUCKY STARS film (WINNERS AND SINNERS) had a lot to do with the Japanese market, the second film in the series takes place in the land of the rising sun and features Michiko Nishiwaki, the Japanese female bodybuilder. Jackie Chan plays an undercover cop who solicits the help of his gang of childhood friends--the five Lucky Stars, each of whom specializes in petty crimes and minor mishaps--to help him catch Japanese gangsters. Dough-faced Eric Tsang replaces John Sham as one of the Lucky Stars, while Sibelle Hu plays the femme du jour and the object of the Lucky Stars' lust. The film features several notable fights, including a surreal sequence in which Chan rumbles in an outlandish amusement park costume; in another memorable fight, director Sammo Hung battles in a yellow jumpsuit, א la Bruce Lee's GAME OF DEATH. The fantastic showdown at a haunted house attraction pits the Lucky Stars against a stellar cast of opponents: Hu versus Nishiwaki, Hung versus Lau Kar-wing, Yuen Biao versus Lam Ching-ying, and Chan versus Dick Wei.

 

 

Ninja Thunderbolt (1985)

Action/Adventure
The story of a greedy woman's desire for power and money. Contains plenty of ninja action.

 

Police Story (1985)

But the tables are turned when Kevin is duped by the comely witness. The drug boss is then released for lack of evidence, and Kevin is framed for murder. This entertaining action film pawned a successful franchise and is widely considered to be one of Chan's best movies.

Action/Adventure

Jackie Chan is among the recruits of this team.

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Art/Foreign
Buddies Thomas (Jackie Chan) and David (Yuen Biao) drive a high-tech lunch truck in Spain, where they get mixed up with a femme fatale and a novice detective (Sammo Hung), setting the stage for lightning-fast martial arts and wild car chases through the streets of Barcelona. At times reminiscent of the many THREE MUSKETEER films, WHEELS ON MEALS was one of the first films to star Chan, Yuen, and Hung, who were once part of the same Peking Opera troupe.

 

The Fearless Hyena II (1983)

Action/Adventure
In this sequel to the martial arts classic, Jackie Chan once again portrays Chang Lung, a member of the Yin/Yang clan, who for years has been pursued by evil gangsters known only as Heaven and Earth. When Chang is reunited with his long lost brother after the tragic death of their father, they decide to band together to defeat the scourge of Heaven and Earth once and for all! This deft mix of fast-paced action and wild comedy is a must for any fan of Chan.

 

Project A (1983)

Chan stars as Dragon Ma, an honest marine cadet in turn-of-the-century colonial Hong Kong, who must do battle with the smugglers and pirates terrorizing the south China sea in order to preserve his company's honor. Revered by Chan-devotees as one of his finest films, PROJECT A seamlessly combines exhilarating action sequences with classic-style slapstick comedy. Chan's energy, timing, and grace are truly infectious, as demonstrated by the hilarious opening bicycle chase and his now legendary homage to Harold Lloyd's SAFETY LAST, in which he plummets from the face of a clock tower with only a series of window awnings to break his fall. A must see for fans of the genre! Sequel: PROJECT A II.

 

Winners and Sinners (1983)

Art/Foreign
Teapot, Curly, Windpipe, Vaseline, and Ranks are a band of bumbling thieves who try to clean up their act by starting a janitorial service.

Directed by Sammo Hung .

 

Dragon Lord (1982)

Art/Foreign
Dragon (Jackie) and his buddy Cowboy get mixed up in a plot to swipe some valuable Chinese antiques and are forced to kick butt. However, the real attraction here is a number of showstopping set pieces that involve Jackie and Cowboy playing some pretty demented versions of Badminton and Football, all while trying to win the heart of a local beauty. Known variously as YOUNG MASTER IN LOVE, DRAGON STRIKE, and DRAGON LORD, it is still a very worthy entry in the Jackie Chan canon.

 

 

Cannonball Run (1981)

Comedy
A cross-country car race provides the plot for this action-packed madcap comedy with an all-star cast. The fun continues from coast to coast with the likes of Burt Reynolds, Jackie Chan, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Mel Tillis, Sammy Davis Jr., and dozens of others.

 

The Big Brawl (1980)

Action/Adventure
Set in the wild days of the roaring 1920s, THE BIG BRAWL tells the story of a courageous martial arts expert (Jackie Chan) who almost single-handedly takes on the mob. Machine guns are of no avail against his lightning-quick hands and feet. The film, directed by Robert Clouse (ENTER THE DRAGON), marks Chan's first starring role in an American production.

 

The Young Master (1980)

Art/Foreign

Dragon Fist (1979)

Action/Adventure
Since bursting onto the martial arts film scene in 1973, Jackie Chan has become one of the world's most popular stars. His movies -- which he acts in, performs his own stunts for and often directs -- have earned millions at the box office.
In DRAGON FIST, he plays Juan, a vengeful young kung fu fighter, who tracks down the man who killed his master. Joining Juan on his journey are the master's wife and beautiful daughter. However, once they find the culprit in his remote village, they discover he has suffered so much guilt over the deed that he's mutilated himself.
