Oh Jackie Chan, the hours of joy you have given me.

My single greatest move in martial arts movie history is 1:20 into this video and it is a miss (and part of one of the great fights choreographed for film, though the YouTube picture quality really sucks.

Then 2:20 into this clip video is one of my favorite 2 second sequences ever.

You may recall a movie out last fall called Hitman. It had a sword fight under a train. The whole time watching that I was thinking "how could they possibly have thought that a good idea considering that the definitive sword fight under a train had already been filmed (see particularly 1:30 in; and that might only be the third best fight in the movie).


Of course, it isn't all Jackie all the time. Enjoy a fight over 4 minutes, 6 stories, and a single take.
