Police Story 3: Supercop (1992)

Chan vs Wang: 3.5/5


Chan vs Guards: 3.25/5


Restaurant Fight: 3.25/5


Train Fight: 3/5



The Police Story franchise gets gradually weaker over each installment. This is the third in the series, and it's still pretty damn great. Though there are no blow away fights like in the first 2, the fighting that it has is solid and the action scenes are larger in scale and scope.

This is the first film in the series Jackie didn't direct. It does have a different feel than the first 2. The other new thing about this one is that it has Michelle Yeoh. She's great and steals the movie at multiple points. She pulls off a stoic, badass yet not invulnerable female action star like we don't see much of anymore save for a Furiosa. She also plays off of Jackie's character very well.

Watching the outtakes in the credits is always great fun too. These stunts were no joke. Great action.

I dig this movie. Recommended.

Ting vs Fujita: 3.75/5


Chen vs Fujita: 5/5



One of the greatest martial arts films ever made. Yuen Woo Ping, one of the best fight choreographers ever, was at the peak of his game here. This is not only his, but also Jet Li's magnum opus. The final fight is one of my favorite fights of all time, an easy 5 stars. I can't say enough good things about this masterpiece. Just go watch it.

HIGHLY Recommended.

Drive (1997)

Opening Fight: 3/5


Bar Fight: 2.5/5


Handcuff Fight: 2.75/5


Motel Fight: 3.75/5


Garage Fight: 4/5


Toby/Malik vs Thugs/Bikers: 2.75/5


Toby vs Advanced Model: 4.5/5



What a great movie. Ok, so it's cheesy, the acting's not very good and it's not very well written. But it's still great.

Mark Dacascos' screen fighting was so good in this. The stunt work and choreography were both on point. Creative martial arts action sequences. And wire work that didn't annoy me.

The final fight feels so epic. It hits all of the cliche "final fight" beats but does it so well. This came out before The Matrix and while it's not in the same league as The Matrix as a film, as a martial arts movie it's quite comparable. Really good work there.

I dig this movie. Recommended.

Gorgeous (1999)

Boat Fight: 3/5

Baseball Bat Fight: 3.75/5

Bradley James Allan vs Jackie: 4.25/5

Bradley James Allan vs Jackie: 4.75/5


Not a lot of fighting, as this movie has a very different tone than most Jackie films. It's a romantic comedy, with a few fights. But man, they're good. Even the boat fight is tons of fun while it lasts. This movie is a showcase for Bradley James Allan, who was the head of Jackie's stunt team at the time. He's ridiculously fast, a highly talented screen fighter. His two fights with Jackie are worth watching alone, or seeking out individually. The movie itself is just mediocre. Somewhat Recommended.
