Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy

Jinx says...

I would still be floating on the euphoria of filming a fight scene with Jackie Chan. Cross one off the bucket list. Besides, I think he was shaking his head at himself as much as for the other guy. He said it himself, it's not pure skill, it's perseverance.

Very interesting, nice video.

That moment when Jackie shakes his head when the actor doesn't perform to his liking, man, i would be destroyed...

Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy

Retroboy says...

Curious as to how people feel about "Kung Fu Shuffle" and "Shaolin Soccer" by Stephen Chow back in the 2000's? It fits the genre (of sorts), has comedy (although perhaps more oriental than western in sensibilities), and I've found them to be lots of fun. There's some parallels between him and Jackie, although Steven's not acted in a while.

Nobody does action comedy like Jackie Chan. Perhaps this is why much of the action movies are meh these days? Maybe that explains it all.

No problem. I've got a few jokes for you straight off the bat - what's brown and sticky? A stick. What's ET short for? He's only got little legs. Did you hear the one about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil. Doctor doctor, i feel like a pair of curtains. Pull yourself together! What's black and white and eats like a horse? A zebra. What's black and white, black and white, black and white? A penguin rolling down a hill.

Hell, Tim Vine does hundreds of one liners in half an hour and the majority of them are not at anyone's expense.

I think you've confused what you find funny with the term "humour" as it were. You may only find shadenfreude funny, and so you think all humour is shadenfreude, but it is patently obvious that things can be humourous without being at someone's expense and i find it almost petulant to be asked to prove it when it is so obvious. You almost certainly know loads of jokes like that. How does Bob Marley like his donuts? Wi' jam-in. I stood there, wondering why the frisbee was getting bigger and bigger..... and then it hit me. What did the fish say when he swam into the wall? Dam.

From what i remember of Lenny Henry's standup (like him or not) in the old days, he didn't often tell a joke at someone's expense. Tommy Cooper used to make people laugh by doing bad magic tricks. Les Dawson used to make people laugh by playing the piano badly as only a good pianist can. Terry Pratchett makes me laugh by conjuring up funny situations in a fictional world. I laughed at the Big Lebowski when he shaded the pad of paper to see what secret notes Jackie Treehorn was making and it turned out to be a doodle of a man holding his own cock. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. I bought some new viagra eye drops, cos they make me look hard. What do you call a man with a shovel on his head? Doug.

I could go on and on and on, but i don't get paid for this and i have other stuff to do, but i hope i've opened your eyes to whole new realms of comedy where people don't get hit in the face with stuff. Where are the Andes? At the end of your wristies. Why didn't the skeleton go to the party? He had no body to go with.

I'm so confused by your request for proof that i feel like someone's asked me "Air? What air? There's no air, i can't see any!"

I'm utterly dreading to read your reply if it says anything along the lines of "That ET joke is offensive to short people! That skeleton joke is offensive to people with eating disorders! The penguin joke is offensive to the penguin you pushed down the hill!" Please don't embarrass us both by doing that, we both know those jokes aren't offensive. (Or very funny, to be honest.)

Name it. Or try reading Stranger in a strange land for a better explanation of my point.
When analyzed thoroughly, all humor is at someone, or something's expense. I've never seen an exception...but I'm open to one if you have it!
EDIT: As I see it, all humor is schadenfreude (enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone (or something) else. )

The Raid Director Gareth Evans Lists His Top 5 Action Scenes

ChaosEngine says...

It sounds like the ultimate hipster doucheism, but really Jackie Chans Hong Kong movies are just so much better than his western stuff. Police Story is just so funny, it really showcases Chans comedic timing.

If you haven't seen it, you're really missing out. It's worth it for the scene where he has to answer 5 phones at once alone.

Also similiar to that last scene is the last fight in Fearless between Jet Li and Shido Nakamura (or at least his stunt double)

Bryan Cranston Scared Sh*tless in new Godzilla Trailer

ChaosEngine says...

that would be why I said it COULD be awesome.

great actors can't save a terrible script (see: almost everything DeNiro has done since Jackie Brown), but bad actors can ruin an otherwise decent movie.

lakawak said:

I think it is kind of funny that so many people think "Oooh...Bryan Cranston is in it! So it must be good." Not only before Breaking Bad...but SINCE Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston has been in one awful movie after another. Before Breaking Bad: The Big Thing. Terror Tract. Erotique. After Breaking Bad stared: Love Ranch. Larry Crowne. Rock of Ages. John Carter. And he is not stranger to awful remakes of old movies either, with Total Recall.

So having Bryan Cranston in your movie credit is far from a guarantee of a good movie.

Terry Gilliam's Advice to Tarantino

chingalera says...

Tarrantino's mash-up samples in his flicks are the greatest homage to other director's styles as well, it's what I can appreciate about his work the most...however hackneyed or stale, he mutates enough to stay on the grid, he's frikkin' full-blown and always will be the crazed genius.
Oh, and Jackie Brown kicks ass-

Terry Gilliam's Advice to Tarantino

mindbrain says...

So you're reducing anyone who enjoys Tarantino's movies into a screaming fanatic? That's bonkers yo.

While we're stating opinions as obvious global fact, Jackie Brown is his masterpiece.
