One of the best videos on cinema. You gain a huge appreciation for Jackie. IMO his best work was with Benny the Jet, particularly this fight: https://www.youtu

Movie is "Wheels on Meals", for anyone curious. > The film's title was supposed to be Meals on Wheels. Superstitious Golden Harvest executives however demanded the title change because their two previous films with titles began with the letter 'M' – Megaforce and Menage A Trois – were both box office flops.

WTF. They're both astounding. Not sure I ever saw anyone that close to Jackie's skills.

  Hwang Jang-Lee is probably better, and has had more of an impact. In Jackie's older films, he plays many of the villains, and he is the one behind the iconic Silver Fox villains like pai mei that Tarantino lifted for Kill Bill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwang_Jang-lee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwang_Jang-lee He is almost always amazing to look at, like in this clip from the Buddha Assasinator, where he plays the main villain in red at the end. https://youtu.be/ehqAgeewn_o https://youtu.be/ehqAgeewn_o

This is magic. Like an extremely difficult, extremely well choreographed dance.

  It's not magic at all. I don't think people realize that it looks so impressive because it's undercranked; it's shot more slowly so the action is sped up. They are't moving that fast in real life at all. Camera trick.

    OK, but that hardly makes it easy to pull off.

    Some Chinese kung fu movies do this. Not all. Jackie tends not to do this as far as I know. I'm looking at this one and I don't think it's undercranked.

      I enjoyed it but it definitely is. Look at the speed of the candles flickering
