Jackie Chan: My Story/My Stunts [DVD]

Very good purchase, a rare inside look into the inner workings of both jackie and his team

good and informative movie- but bad bad Picture quality!

A great insight into the world of JC,a must own for all JC fans.

Excellent

An intimate portrait of the worlds biggest movie star - you get a massive 190 minutes - thats over 3 hours of Jackie at his best.The second feature: My Stunts, is a great programme where Jackie personally guides you through what makes a good stunt and what it takes to be a member of his elite stunt team.Instead of being a non stop clip show, 85 percent of the footage is specially shot stuntwork presented by Jackie in his inimitable, informal style. Jackie's personality shines through as he trips over his English (watch him try to pronounce aluminium) and knocks holes in a set wall he is about to climb up.All this original material is suplemented by Jackie's greatest hits (pardon the pun) full of bone crunching action.A brilliant, quality package.

Hong Kong Legends are on a winning streak with their amazing quality Hong Kong releases, and this is no exception."My story" is a documentary about Jackie's life. From the Peking Opera school, on to how he got into the movie business as a stuntman, and how he got to be the world's most popular action star. It also includes an injury list, complete with "ouch"-ratings for all his injuries. This is essential viewing for all Jackie-fans and is fun and entertaining for anyone else as well."My Stunts" is a specially made documentary where Jackie shows you all the tricks of the trade. How he coreographs a fight, how he and his stuntmen prepare for flips and falls, and how they pull of spectacular stunts without the aid of expensive safety devices. You'll get a lection in camera positioning, the important use of standard everyday appliances in fight scenes and lots of things you definitely shouldn't try at home.As usual for Hong Kong Legends the visual quality is top notch.If you are a Jackie Chan fan ( and after watching this, you will be ), you'll be insane to miss this. Especially at this price. BUY IT!!! NOW!!!

If you are a Jackie Chan fan, you will want this. If you aren't a Jackie Chan fan you will still want this. My Story takes an in depth look at JC, the most physical actor in the world today. Watch his progress from his youth, step by step all the way until present. My Stunts takes JC back to the set of police story (a town/city!) for him to re-do some of his stunts. You will also be taken to the JC stunt lab to learn the tricks of the trade. This is a must buy for any fan. If you don't already love JC, you will after this. Buy this and take a look into this wonderful, funny, unique and inovative man. Jackie Chan really is the man!

In this he shows you just how much work is put into his films. For a 2 minute action sequence it could takes days to plan, this helps you to really appreciate his films. He only has the best people working for him, he should know he's the one who trained them.
