I would argue it's the best duel in martial-arts movies history, it's so well choreographed, and a perfect mixture of flashy and more direct stuff... The Jet being a real, legit fighter added credibility to it of course, and Jackie Chan is incredible as usual...
The final fight in Drunken Master 2 took 4 months to film. One week is typical, but Benny is saying that it was non-stop and they basically lived on the set.
Many people don’t realize this is an excerpt from a much longer interview. It appears that I cut Benny off at the end, but that was just due to editing. I drove 3 1/2 hours one way just to get this interview. Believe me, I got a lot more than five minutes!
Jackie said in his autobiography that every day he'd poke Benny by saying: OK, let's fight for real, and Benny would always say: anytime Jackie, anytime.
Silverforce Without a doubt. In fact both films where they fight are awesome choreography. Love both of them them as they are so humble. Actors yes but true Martial Artists, they have my respect.
in the aspect of martial arts. That true. But that just because the first 2 police story and project A dont have any the martial artist ego moment. as action movie, they are better. dont get me wrong, this great. but that 4 movies imo is JC best work
kira chew he’s also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. About 10 years ago, when I attended a banquet for the Martial Arts History Museum, Benny came and introduced himself to me! I was speechless!
The way his eye sparkle when he talks about the stuff he did in the movie is inspiring. This dude (and Jackie) both love what they do so much and it shows in the performance. Benny is an ultimate lad
Astonishing fact about Benny "The Jet" Urquidez: He was reigning champion for 27(!) consecutive years . The longest period of being champion in all of professional sports!!Simply amazing!
Man this woman by far one of the best interviewer I've ever seen. Patience and let people tell their story and no cut in interruption. Love it so good to watch. But it's just too short!
You all don’t know how much this interview meant to me. I always wanted to hear what it was like, because I knew long ago that they actually fought for the scene! Hats off to both of these legendary martial art masters and my childhood martial art icons! I lived this with all my heart!
That fight between Jackie and Urquidez near the end of Wheels on Meals is easily my favourite fight scene in any film. Probably my favourite Jackie Chan film, and Yuen Biao had a couple of great fights in it too. Great to see Urquidez talking about it here -- he seems like a genuinely nice guy!
batlin , the raid rama and andy vs mad dog was my favourite off all time til i seen this fight scene, you should check it out though i think you will like it
Debbie, I'm so glad that I came across your channel. It was a honor to watch this interview with Benny The Jet Urquidez. I watched all the Jackie Chan movies as a kid in the 1980's and it was great. Thank you My first movie being The Big Brawl in 1984, I was 8 and never stopped watching Jackie Chan movies from that day on. Benny and Jackie had some of the greatest fights on film, PERIOD!! :)
Watch, i think, episode 19 of Adkins' podcast, The Art of Action. It features Benny talking about his time with Jackie and includes Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever. It appears that Jackie left a hugely positive impression on Benny, who sings his praises.
Benny the Jet Urquidez, Ron Vanclief, Dennis Alexio, Super foot and Don the Dragon Wilson were fantastic in the ring and in the movies. OSU and respect for all of these Masters. 🙏🏼🐅🐉
That's what I was thinking. This guy has been in many fights and his hands have taken a beating as they're giving a beating. Still wouldn't fuck with Benny.
I remember watching a documentary about martial arts movies and it noted that fight scene from Wheels on Meals as the greatest fight scene ever recorded - after watching it, I had to agree it was amazing. I was always amazed how great Jackie was, but seeing Benny The Jet against him, knowing that Benny was an actual champion kickboxer, put him on another level. Yes Jackie was and is an amazing movie star and stuntman, but it always struck me that Benny is the real deal fighter! - he proved his skills in the ring - movie stars rarely do that
No need to talk down on a different athlete. Mayweather has been tested over and over, and just played the game that is boxing to be successful and win fights. Just like Urquidez he fought in a very competitive division and did very well. Two great champions in their own category.
The man had a solid jaw , amazing talent , a pair of wrecking balls for hands and thrown kicks as natural as a Chinese person eating with chop sticks 61 wins 59 ko’s no losses
Debbie you interview Benny like his on a fight set it's so fun to see champ Benny on anything either it's interview or his teaching a student God bless and keep it comin'
Showing much love & respect to the one of the greatest legend in martial arts history.Meals On Wheels is one of the best movie.He is one of the best.long live Sir Benny.thank you for the great contribution in the action movies.greetings from Philippines.😊🙏👍
That was an epic fight scene! The fight scene that really stands out to me between Jackie and Benny is the one they had in Dragons Forever. As a kid, my jaw dropped seeing how tough Benny is!
Without sacrifice nothing great come out....and that is why this fight scene still surfaces on internet and generations after generations enjoy this scene...coz of the heart n soul these two guys and the entire team put in. ❤❤❤❤
Man you can tell benny is so excited to talk about that again, you know he really enjoyed it. I think it's funny they used a screenshot from dragons forever in this video while talking about wheels on meals. Wheels on Meals was the better choreographed fight, but Dragons Forever was so brutal and epic, those guys took a trip to the hospital for sure! Both tied for my favorite Jackie Chan films of all time.
Exype There is a full one hour episode of this interview. One of the longest interviews I have done. You can find it at CMAC.TV-go to “On demand,” then “Series guide”, and then Martial Arts Mania. Benny was a great guest!
I was looking for that fight scene on youtube and after I found it, this video came up on my suggested. I wanted to know what it was like on the set for Benny and Jackie Chan. What's just as exciting is finding out this was interview was filmed where I live.
oh man! that story was so awesome. Not to mention quite historic. The experience of being on those sets must have been something else! (not to mention his work with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao) And what a perfect pairing for the Hong Kong action movie industry as a whole (talk about perfect timing). Arguably it's finest alumni (Jackie Chan) teamed with the most stylistic/skilled kick boxer of his time ..and we all get to be lucky enough to enjoy it :)
