Jackie Chan: My Stunts (1999)

A companion piece to My Story (1998) that goes into greater depth about the choreography, the setup, the execution and the dangers behind throwing yourself and your team into potential life-threatening situations.
Jackie’s limited English vocabulary means he’s not the best at explaining details, so he teaches by example instead. Having it presented that way is actually more entertaining and makes a lot more sense to the student.
His respect for his ‘Jackie Chan Stunt Team’ is clear to see, as is their professionalism and commitment. They help him look good most of the time and it’s right that they should get some recognition for it.
