Jackie Chan Documentary (1989) - Son of the Incredibly Strange Film Show 

They’re celebrating his 35th birthday and I’m watching this on his 65th birthday.

I think Jonathan Ross deserves some credit for introducing Asian cinema (e.g. Hong Kong action movies and Japanese anime) to the UK.

Making sure that plastic stays on his skull forever it's amazing that's he's almost 65 looking alive and healthy as if nothing bad happened.

Johnatan R.- How much longer are you going to keep doing this stunts? Jackie C.- I think 3-4 more years. This documentary was recorded in 1989. Now we write 2016 and Jackie is making a new movie. This guy is just pure steel and adrenaline.

People sneer at Jonathan Ross......but this tv series opened up a world of odd cinema, that belied expected taste.....I value it even more than the excellent offerings of Norman and Kermode.

It blows my mind to watch this oldschool footage, it seems like another world

Armour of God,meals on wheels and Project A are my all-time favourites when I was younger and I'm 41 now 👍🏼

Jackie is a legend forever and Maggie was adorable at the time!

New "Just do it." Jackie Chan version

Jackie Chan u r handsome inside outside honest n humble❤️

Jackie is amazing. I love his fights. He is very charming I think.

NO FEAR .. NO STUNTMAN. NO EQUALS

the biggest thing that made the documentary great was Jonathan Ross, I like his style so much ever since he was host on Penn and teller, such a gentlemen with knowledge and skills.

Thanks for uploading this! Watching this from HK on CNY. I saw this program on Channel 4 in the U.K. when it first aired. Jackie is literally one of a kind and I believe Police Story 1 was his greatest film in terms of the set pieces ie the police raid in the shanty town which is still breathtaking in it’s magnitude with no CGI use. The fight choreography in the final shopping mall scene was incredible and unparalleled in modern day cinema. You can see the injuries he sustained in the outtakes at the end of his films. No one has ever suffered as much as Jackie for his art. Although Tom Cruise makes great action movies, he still has the use of modern CGI and safety wires to protect him from serious harm. Knowing Jackie had none of these in that film makes me admire and appreciate what him and his stunt team gave to HK cinema in the 80s and early 90s. Sadly for us this type of spectacle will never be seen again.

I loved hearing Maggie speaking English :D

"if anything happen, we get married." lmfao!😂😂😂 -jackie to maggie cheung doing the stunt.😂

The Real Deal ! Jackie and his team were just unmatched for Decades ! he is the greatest martial arts ghoreographer and stunt man of the century

I remember seeing this documentary before I knew who Jackie was (or who Jonathan Ross was, for that matter). I made an effort to find his movies after that - not long before Rush Hour first came out, and his movies were coming to video in America more around that time - and I've been a fan ever since. But I forgot that was him in Cannonball Run!

4:04 audience come to see jc not double 15:53 many Bruce Lees 24:04 movies is my life 38:03 someday I die people will remember me

"There's a hole in your head." I can't...

I remember seeing this when it originally aired. Straight after I remember going to Rainbow Video in Bradford which was at the back of an asian general store. The kind of place where you could rent three movies for 50p (seriously) but you'd never watch the kind of movies that you could get for that price (lots of Indian action movies). But he literally had every Jackie Chan move and I devoured them all over the coming weeks.

I do really appreciate you upload this. Thank you!!

Great job i just found this in my VHS collection and was about to upload it.

Ugly?! more like handsome asf

"That's the Yugoslavians for you" lol

Jonathan Ross, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this brilliant footage with Jackie Chan. What a spectacular interview and what great insights Jackie shared. I think he felt very relaxed with you. Thank you again! Laura

So glad to see this again takes me back to 1989 when i was 15 i too had this on vhs but its now lost or gone great documentary of jackie chan loved all his movies and he still going man is a legend 👍👍👍

Amazing documentary and very rare. Thanks so much for uploading. Videos like these is the reason youtube is so great 😊

Thanks for sharing this, never seen it before.

I remember this back in the day. I recorded it on video and made my family watch it. I was only 14. Lol.

He has done soo much and is alive, I have not yet achieve anything and I just want to die

Maggie Cheung.💕

How I wish Jackie Chan would work with Brandon Lee during this time period 😔😔

Thanks for uploading and a nice intro too. A terrific show this was, one of Jonathon Ross's best. It gave the lesser known film stars and film makers, perhaps the more independant ones an opportunity to shine, and be appreciated. Best ones for me were this one with Jackie Chan and Sam Raimi

I'm so glad this interview is online. I recorded this on VHS back when it was aired in September 1989, and the tape went awol a few years later. 30 years have passed and Jackie is still making movies. Fantastic career, and quite frankly it's amazing he's still alive after these stunts lol

A lot of these video cassettes get misplaced and we can only recall vague details so thank you very much for sharing this lost gem❤

28:27 - I love how the other actor continues to kick Jackie while he's legitimately on fire. That's what you do though! You don't want to ruin a potentially awesome take! But at the time I can imagine Jackie saying "I don't need this right now!!!!"

Thanks, great quality...looks more like Betamax lol. Still got this on Beta in the loft...just no player anymore.

Wow 24years ago video Jackie Chan is really great actor and awesome guy :) Thank you uploader

so many people would love to meet jackie in his prime :0

It's hard to watch ur childhood hero getting older day by day. I just love him so much❤. Everyday I'm thinking like if jackies dies i will be broken😖Just thinking about that makes me very upset and I'm crying everyday😭. I know if a person was born he/she need to die some day.if there was a way to give extra life to other person.😄Then i would happily give my life to the legend Jackie chan☺

Jackie i love you

Thanks for sharing. Good quality.

Great video! Those were the days. 24:23 should be "Cheung" 38:45 Wrong way round, it was Jackie pursuing the baddies!

God blessed him with long and healthy life...I wish him all the good wishes that he always be happy and live a long life...

Willie chan, missing you.

Jackie THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. To think that Jackie Chan made 100 films by the time he was 30 and he said for 3 more years and yet he has been working for 30 more years! He is very special. And he is cute. Interestingly, he thinks of himself as ugly but he is kind of cute. He can be good-looking too, I wonder if he were never told. But what is most amazing is that even today there are people who doubt both his and Bruce Lee's skills as martial artists saying they were just actors. I am always stunned when people come up with these ridiculous ideas, when they were always so fast that the moves cannot even be seen on the camera. Anyway, it is great to watch this old documentary with Jonathan Ross. I like the guy he is a clever but he is also a likeable one. Thank you for uploading it, so we could enjoy it too.

I love this vhs recording😄😄😄😄😄😆😆😆😆,do you have more?upload upload more.

I'm watching this a few days after his 70th birthday

i remember this on vhs lol i was like 3

Jackie Chan is one of the greatest man ever.Love him.

"Goddamit! Im coming down" - love this guy

Jackie Chan sir you vintage time is very beautiful youngman from India 🤗🇮🇳

JR: "How long can you keep doing the stunts?" JC: "Three more years, four more years." Close Jackie, around 30 or so years.

Love jacky chan

Watched this so many times back in the day! "Only" took about 10 years later until Jackie broke the mainstream American market with Rush Hour in 1998!

back when hong kong was still hong kong...

The way Jackie choreography his fight scene is amzing

Love the skill work interview Jackie

We love Jackie so much we started our new film review show with Operation Condor! We breakdown all our top moments from our top Jackie movie and share facts about his legendary man himself. Check out our channel for more! Go Jackie!

What impressed me the most early on no one really cared about Jackie in fact he was called box office poison. But he kept making films and became a box office success.

9:37 I saw this on this show and went out and bought this my pocket money as a child from HMV the next week. I saw Police story 1 and knew I would not be disappointed. "I don't want his mother to recognise him!" When I heard the dubbed version of that I want Jackie to beat them up.

Master of action!

Incredible

I miss those times...

Love that clock on the wall in Willie's office. Where can I get one?

I'd forgotten about the little scrolling box that appeared before the adverts.

I Love JACKIE

Hidden gem 💎

24:12 Maggie Cheung can't believe she's features of this video being joined to the scary stunt of Project A part two and interviewing her in English, a funny moment of her and Jackie Chan before the rolling so embarrassed lol!

Why only Japanese fans are invited in his birthday party ? Still now. It's discrimination. I once wanted to meet him to an event, but it was only for Japan Fan Club. I was really mad.

Man called Incredible 🙏🙏🙏👍

39:00 "You didn't scratch that corner. Rebuild the city for take 308" - Jackie Chan to his crew

Jackie says, just do it.

I Prefer To Watch MR Jackie Chan Movies More Than Any Other Actor Not Only In Asians Or Hollywood Cinema But Also In All Over The Glove The Reason Is Because He Does The Movies Stunts With His Own Self He Never Ever Bring Stunt Men That Is Why He Is Loveable And Meny People Prefer To Watch His Movies And To Watch His Action Stunts I Wish MR Chan Young Chan All The Best In His Career And I Wish Him And All His Family And Relatives All The Best , Greetings From Mahmoud Abdulaziz An Egyptian Who Working In Saudi Arabia And I Wish To See You Soon Either In Egypt Or In Saudi Arabia.

10:34 that is KEN LO the main antagonist in Drunken Master 2.

Why does all these people and even Jackie think he’s ugly? Most people of my race keep saying they wish they were handsome like Jackie.

Them fights scenes MUST be speeded up and i am a Jackie Chan fan!

Maggie Cheung = beautiful and gutsy!

❤️ Jackie Chan 🇮🇳
