“Jackie Chan: My Stunts” is a brilliant documentary that shows you exactly how action star Jackie Chan (“Project A”, “Rumble In The Bronx”) pulls off his impressive stunts. This is a brilliant movie where we get to see a true master of his craft at work.

“My Stunts” shows you how Jackie Chan and his stuntmen team are able to create some of the most thrilling sequences ever seen on film. It covers everything from the fight choreography to the spectacular jumps and falls to the vehicular stunts. It also shows you the sets of “Rush Hour” and “Who Am I?”.

Jackie Chan is such a likeable action star and here, we get to see him talk about what he does best. I think the decision to focus on the action is what makes this such a successful documentary. I’ve seen him talk about his career and life in other documentaries and countless interviews. This gives him an opportunity to get into the fine details of how he makes the best stunts. The filmmakers also know to keep the focus on Jackie and not get side-tracked with showing you all his co-stars and other celebrities that he’s friends with. Jackie and the stuntmen really get to show why they are the best at what they do.

If you have any interest in martial arts movies or action movies in general then you absolutely have to see “Jackie Chan: My Stunts”. We know Jackie suffers for his art as we see the painful outtakes during the credits of many of his movies but this shows you all the preparation that goes into making a Jackie Chan stunt. This movie could have been longer and shown us even more of his stunts but what is on offer is fantastic. I highly recommend this. It’s also a lot better than the “Jackie Chan: My Story” documentary.
