The famous Jackie Chan proved himself in front of the audience in several ways: he is an actor, stuntman, screenwriter, director, director of battle scenes, stunts, as well as a producer, singer, goodwill ambassador and philanthropist.
Comedies with Jackie Chan have similar features that distinguish these films from the likes. Their highlight is, of course, the main actor - Jackie, who, in addition to the acrobatic fighting style, gives the plot a special charm with its comedic gift and the use of various "improvised means" during the battle. Films with Jackie Chan, including comedies, demonstrate how the actor is getting used to his image: he does it so that the viewer sees not a person who knows how to fight, but a fighter who is fluent in acting. It will not be amiss to recall that during his acting career Jackie broke absolutely all the bones that could be broken: from the top of the head to the toes, including the nose with chin, arms and legs.
Jackie's Filmography: From Negatives to Hilariously Positive
It is no secret that at the beginning of his career, the actor played negative characters, as evidenced by the film "Disassembly in Hong Kong" - the role of the leader of the gang; “Bloody fingers”, “Heroine” - the role of a bandit; in the film “Awakened Energy”, he even raised a hand on a woman. But after Jackie established some moral restrictions for himself and after starred only in the role of a man forced to fight in order to defend himself, loved ones, innocent. Moreover, in the same period, he created an image in contrast to the generally accepted standards of the hero of the militants - a good guy, driven by a sense of righteous anger or revenge. Characters created by Jackie were sometimes lazy, sometimes mischievous and hooligan (Astral Kung Fu, Fearless Hyena), but always remained amusing, kind, rustic and cracked down on negative characters with an enviable share of ingenuity and humor (“Twins dragons” "," Twins "," Big Soldier "). Starting to watch such comedies with Jackie Chan as “Diner on Wheels,” “King of Laughter,” “Who Am I,” “Medallion,” you won’t be able to resist attacks of sincere laughter.
Successful Trilogies
Jackie also has film projects that have a sequel. It is they, according to the majority, who can claim the title "Best Comedy with Jackie Chan." The review should begin with the film “Police Story” (1985), after which the second part of the comedy appeared in 1988, and the third came out in 1992. These films have the so-called restart series “New Police Story” (2004), “Police Story- 2013 ”(2013). Not only too successful was the spin-off of Super Police 2 (1993). Separately, it is worth highlighting the trilogy “Armor of God”, saturated with carcolomeric tricks and curious situations. The first part came out in 1986 and was so successful that in 1991 it was followed by the second “Armor of God-2: Operation Condor” and after a long break, in 2012, the third part of “Armor of God-3: Mission Zodiac” matured. However, in contrast to it, one more trilogy of the comedic genre action movies can be considered - “Peak Hour”. All three paintings were released with a relatively small gap (1998, 2001, 2007). Jackie's partner was American comedian Chris Tucker. The tandem of two surprisingly talented comedians managed to turn the banal plot into an enchanting and memorable show. These comedies with Jackie Chan received not only the love and sympathy of the viewer, but also the positive reviews of film critics.
Family Movies
The characters of Jackie Chan are touched in the films recognized as family and recommended for viewing with children: “Baby for 30,000,000. e. ”,“ Tuxedo ”and especially“ The Spy Next Door ”. I would like to note the picture with the participation of Jackie “Around the World in 80 Days”, in which such film genres as melodrama, comedy, adventure thriller, western are harmoniously connected. This film can be safely recommended for family viewing. In this category, you must definitely add the animated series "The Adventures of Jackie Chan", in which after each series Chan answered all kinds of questions from young viewers. From all of the above, we can conclude that comedies with Jackie Chan were, are and will be in demand and loved by the audience.
