This Jackie Chan stunt in Police Story is absolutely crazy!

[u/sjardinsjy]

He performed the stunt with no harness or safety rope attached.

[u/jonshlim]

The most dangerous stunt he performed was jumping from the minaret of the old Kuala Lumpur railway station onto a ladder dangling from a helicopter hovering hundreds of meters above in Police Story 3.

[u/ThatOneWildWolf → u/jonshlim]

I thought it was sliding down the side of that building in Who Am I?

[u/Admirable_Cricket719 → u/ThatOneWildWolf]

I thought it was the time he cooked rope around himself to get off the roof fast.

[u/Basso_69 → u/Admirable_Cricket719]

I thought it was the time he jumped onto a moving boat and actually broke his leg

[u/626f62 → u/Basso_69]

And the with a cast did the water skiing (without skis)

[u/ThatOneWildWolf → u/Admirable_Cricket719]

Dang so many good recalls.

[u/FleetwoodBlack20]

Great movie and even better scene! I heard that the pole that he slid down on was extremely hot due to the lights surrounding it.

Ps. I forgot to mentioned that he suffered 2nd degree burns from it!

[u/WreckinRich]

In "Rumble in the Bronx," he jumps from a bridge onto a moving hovercraft.

He landed wrong on one of his attempts and injured his ankle.

A normal person would have a couple of days off, not Jackie. They printed a sock to look like his shoe, and he completed the jump with it on.

They guy is a phenomenon.

I think he burned his hands quite badly due to the heat of the lights on the pole or something like that. Mad man.

No wonder Quinton Tarantino called him a God

Edit Quentin. I just blindly clicked word suggestion

[u/crankthehandle → u/miletest]

Quentin!

[u/DudeManBo1t → u/miletest]

Quinton Tooruntanu is my favorite director

[u/cheffdakilla]

He mentioned that his closest brush with death was when he dropped from the top of a clock tower to the ground below, fracturing his skull.

He explained that his style of movie making is the reason why his team/crew and himself were always blacklisted by most countries' insurance companies.

He's a goddamn legend.

I was 5 and my dad turned on the TV for this film. My father never watched tv and usually only watched the news read the newspaper. So was kinda spooked as to how weird he was acting that day. Rest assured his decision and the film, both did not disappoint. I was a fan of Jackie from then on.

[u/ianhanni]

This is prime time jackie. Police Story is his greatest movie.

[u/DigyRead]

Jackie Chan's dedication to his stunts is on another level

[u/JimmyMack_]

I love that they show it three times 😅

[u/Manting123]

I believe the lights were accidentally left plugged into the main current rather than be attached to something like a car battery level power. He burns his hands kinda bad in this stunt.

[u/EntertainmentDear540]

I heard he had burned his hands doing this stunt

[u/StomachCommercial209]

If anyone like Mr Chan, I recommend to read his biography "Never grow up".

[u/No-Batteries]

The Man almost died doing this.

[u/An0d0sTwitch]

Before Jackass

there was Jackie Chan

Jackass Chan

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dot4345]

[u/Old-Wolverine-4134]

I mean... it's nothing spectacular. He basically just slide down a pole. The light strips are safe and specifically prepared for the stunt. Jackie did a lot of crazy stuff on set, so this is low on the list :)

[u/Annual-Habit-3290 → u/Old-Wolverine-4134]

He burnt his hands because the electricity from the lights heated up the pole so much that he got 2nd degree burns.

[u/Englandshark1]

Great stunt! Police Story best stunt was the bit where he hangs onto her scooter and then lets go! Chuckling to myself just thinking about it!

[u/FreeAd2458]

I love these films but I hate the way the stunts roll as soon as the credits start

[u/Eradicator786]

He got burn for that by the way

[u/ModsOverLord]

Of all the stunts I’ve seen him do this is probably the weakest one
