TGIF! No hate in today’s post, because we’re all excited for Sunday. HOX!
Word Count Filler Time
When we last saw Jackie Chan he was getting his ass kicked by Cliff in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Ok, that wasn’t real. But Jackie did really get hurt quite a bit doing his own stunts.
Armour of God (1987)
Jackie had to jump from a castle wall to a tree. He missed the branch though, and fell to the rocky ground below. This resulted in a broken skull, shattered jaw, broken nose, missing teeth, and a brain hemorrhage with blood pouring out of his ears. This resulted in a permanent hole in his skull that was filled with a plastic plug.
Snake in Eagle’s Shadow (1978)
Chan had a sword fight scene, but his opponent wasn’t using a blunt sword. As a result, Jackie’s arm was cut open and blood spewed everywhere. Ever the showman, Jackie continued the fight with the camera rolling. The scene, and the real blood, made the final cut of the movie.
Mr. Nice Guy (1997)
A stunt entailed Jackie falling backwards into a wheelbarrow on the second story of a construction site, then tumble out of the wheelbarrow to the ground below that was equipped with mats to cushion his fall. Jackie missed those mats though. He popped up to claim he was fine right before passing out. The fall had dislocated vertebrae in his neck and torn some ligaments.
First Strike (1996)
Jackie had a scene where he was supposed to jump through the rungs of an extension ladder. Well, he didn’t quite get through and instead was stuck in the ladder as it toppled over. He ended up knocked out and got a broken nose for the trouble.
Supercop (1992)
The stunt required Jackie to jump from a building 100 feet up onto a rope ladder from a moving helicopter, with no safety nets or mats below. Fortunately, he made the jump. Unfortunately, the rope ladder smashed through some billboards (excellent planning there folks) and Jackie suffered a broken shoulder.
Rumble in the Bronx (1994)
Jackie had to jump from a bridge onto a hovercraft. When he landed, he twisted his body to avoid hitting a wall, but his ankle didn’t and broke in two places. After the bone was set, Jackie put a sock over the cast and painted it like a shoe and finished filming the movie.
Police Story (1985)
Chan jumped from a handrail to a pole, then slid 70 feet down to the ground. But not before crashing through a glass ceiling then falling onto his back. Sliding down the pole peeled the skin off his hands, the fall fractured his pelvis and pushed his lower vertebrae into organs causing internal bleeding.
Tom Cruise could never relate.
