Now that I realize it, Jackie Chan is the only director I know who revealed his secrets on a full-length feature film. You get to see in the film how he makes his movies, preps for his stunts, choreograph his fight scenes, and you will be amazed by how Jackie Chan does it. I used to think Jackie was a very talented, and very incredible peron. Now I think much more. In this film, Jakie shows you how ingenious and creative he is by going back to the locations of the Young Master, Police Story, Who Am I, and Rush Hour as well as brand new never-before-scenes you can't miss. My only complaint is the title scene that comes on when you start the DVD (it takes forever). It's Chinese yes, but he speaks English on one side and Mandarin on the other (neither are his first language). If you can find this autographed, get it (I did). Don't listen to the other review, he/she's wrong.

Whether you are a die hard Jackie fan or a passive visitor of the infinite Jackie video libraries you will find this "documentary" highly entertaining. This isn't a typical type of documentary because it features Jackie and his stunt crew showing off how the intricacies of their action sequences. It seems Jackie actually took the time to film this twice, one where he speaks his native language and another time where it is filmed in english. He didn't simply dub it, there are two sides to the DVD.

Pay attention as Jackie nails the camera while demonstrating how they use fake blood...what a pro!

I find myself constantly fascinated by this man, Jackie Chan. He never ceases to amaze me. Look how old he is and try to understand how he does what he does. He truly is a legend in the flesh.

This particular DVD is an excellent example of how Jackie makes his stunt driven movies. He goes into fine detail on how he sets up the scenes and prepares for each of his breathtaking stunts. It also gives you a little insight on Jackie's creative stunt team that have been black listed on the insurance market for doing what they do. It shows that without them Jackie's stunts would never look as good as they do. For me this DVD was a great "HOW TO" movie. I myself make cheesy movies every now and again with friends and hope to someday make big budget movies, this DVD showed me how to perform some stunts with better protection and just made me think of new ways I can decieve the audience. Mind you, don't go trying this stuff at home unless you are physically fit and mentally fit for it.

In the end I would have to say this is just another Jackie Chan movie that must be in your collection. What's great is that there are two sides to the disc, one is English (yay!) and the other is Mandarin. No subtitles here baby! Buy it, buy it, buy it I say! For Jackie Chan will never fail to entertain you.

This DVD is a must have for any Chan fan! Take a tour behind the scenes as Jackie gives an in depth look into the art of making a classic "Jackie Chan movie." You'll see exclusive footage and fighting sequences choreographed by Jackie and performed by his stunt guys and students. You'll go behind the scenes on the set of Who Am I? and Rush Hour, take a bus tour in Hong Kong with Jackie hanging by umbrella for a look at Police Story revisited, listen as Jackie tells fascinating stories about stunts gone awry, visit the Jackie Chan Stunt Lab. You'll learn what it is that makes his fight sequences so spectacular, get a glimpse of their training techniques, hear some of Jackie's ideas and plans for the future and so much more! This DVD is high quality stuff, and the JC Group went all out to make this documentary as a gift to his fans. In fact, some of the stunt men were actually hurt in the filming! If you truely love Jackie's movies you must have this DVD! It is so much fun!

want to see what jackie chan and his stuntmen club do behind the scenes of his movies. then watch this. my stunts gives a full look on how he makes the fights and stunts so spectacular. major coverages include drunken master 2, police story, operation condor, who am i, and rush hour. has out-takes from near-misses and never-before seen footage.

Excellent behind the scenes type video explaining and detailing everything you could want to know. Too bad we don't get to see Chan do much execpt for when they show some of the greater moments from past movies. Get it!

This DVD is wonderful. Here Jackie takes you behind the scenes and demonstrates and explains how stunts and different special effects are done in his movies. He also goes over the stunts scenes in several of his movies, and you get to meet his stunt crew.

Sitting in awe of Jackie and this DVD. That man is amazing. A must have for any Jackie Chan fan. Long live (and love) Jackie Chan!

If you're even a small fan of Jackie, you need to watch this. If you're fan of HK action movies, you need to see this. You will gain so much respect for how Jackie Chan makes his stunts look so spectacular and effortless. You will also come to see how unspectacular Hollywood stunt filming is after watching this. Jackie Chan is a master of his craft!!!!

I purchased this in April 2001 and still toss it in the DVD player 2-3 times a year. It's a fascinating look at how Jackie and his team put together great stunts and fight scenes for his movies.

If you're a Jackie Chan fan, you will enjoy this!
