I must reflect the positives of most of the other reviews listed here. Absolutely great to have explained and see how Mr. Chan does his stunt work. Someone broke into my garage and stole my copy. I finally gave up and ordered a replacement. I admire these stuntmen as excellent athletes as well as actors. Their attention to detail and how much of the action steps they commit to memory also reminds me of how excellent dancers must remember long sequences in order to do what they do so well.
I have several other stunt explaining movies, but none of them show on such a personal level what happens. This is a large part of what makes this movie unique. It focuses on the Jackie Chan stunts in his series of movies, not just car stunts, buildings blowing up, etc over many other peoples movies. I enjoy the focus being on the involvement of people (not just cars and objects) in this video.
If you like Jackie Chan, enjoy his movies and are interested in how the stunts work behind the camera, I can't recommend this video enough!
If you collect videos like this, you may have noticed it is no longer in print and the cost of used ones is really going up. If you want one I would advise getting it now (if you can find it) and not waiting. You can also view clips of it on youtube, but I prefer to have it at home on the DVD and am a big fan of legally owned entertainment.
Enjoy

I had my doubts about this movie/documentary but I really enjoyed watching all of the behind the scenes footage with his stunt team. This dvd is really great because it explains how he does his action sequences and choreographs it with the stunt team he uses for many of his movies. If you are any sort of a fan of Jackie Chan, then you MUST HAVE THIS DVD!!! Don't think twice about it, just get it and you will be very pleased.
December 25, 2007This 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.
October 17, 2004Sitting 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!
May 16, 2002Whether 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! February 10, 2002
