Jackie Karate Films
I absolutely love Jackie Chan. I think he is one of the greatest comedic action stars of all time and a badasses. There is always something so compelling about him on screen doing his frantic style of stunts. Check out Jackie Chan’s crazy list of injuries from doing ALL his own stunts until recent years. He’s a god damn legend, able to climb to the top of his profession and stay there for over 3 decades, becoming universally loved from east to west. IF you want the full experience, watch them in order.

_____________
Double Bonus: Kung Fu Hustle - Super Stylized and totally insane. This is a cult classic. Rotten Tomatoes (90%)
Triple Bonus: Hard-Boiled - Not for everyone. A very specific type of Chinese shoot-em-up but its very entertaining. Drink every time Johnny Woo should have had to reload but doesn’t. Rotten Tomatoes (94%)
The Rare Quadroople Bonus: The Raid Series - If you liked the first one you will like em all. They get progressively more bloody but the crazy martial arts grows on you over time. Rotten Tomatoes (86%)
