So it turns out that today is Jackie Chan's Birthday!!! He happens to be my favourite actor of all time. I'm guessing most of you thought it was Bill Cosby. Although Bill Cosby is great and all, he'll never be able to replace Jackie Chan's fighting style, respectful personality, comedic style, and his devotion to helping out the less fortunate. No offense Bill Cosby.

So what's your favourite Jackie Chan movie, stunt, etc? My favourite movie would probably have to be Around the World in 80 Days or Who am I. As for the most favourite stunt it'd be sliding down the slanted building in Who am I. It didn't look as brutal as his other stunts (like jumping from one building to another or sliding down Christmas lights) and it looked really fun doing.

Also, I guess I'll link you guys to some funny fake Jackie Chan movies.

I like the older Jackie Chan movies the most, y'know, pre-Hollywood. I did think that the first Rush Hour was pretty enjoyable, though.. but, it's been years since I've seen it. "Who Am I" is a good one, and also the one with Michelle Yeoh (I have somewhat of a weak spot for her).. I can't remember what it's called.

Jackie Chan ftw. Happy Birthday! I like him, but I haven't had enough experience of his films to pick a fave.

Jackie Chan is an absolutely phenomenal performer and all-round awesome guy. The amount of effort and physical injury he endures for the sake of making his movies the very best they can be, even in his older age, is staggering. His Honk Kong movies are a far cry better than anything he has done in the West, my personal favourite being the most recent Police Story movie, which was just plain brilliant. It amazes me that the guy isn't dead, he's had more than his fair share of cuts, bruises and broken bones over the years.

Mister Jackie Chan, the Cap'n salutes you.

If you like Jackie Chan, you owe it to yourself to watch his classic Hong Kong films and not the Hollywood action-comedy crap he's been getting rich on for the past decade. like Drunken Master, Police Story. Absolutely incredible movies, made only more amazing by watching the outtakes and seeing all the physical abuse he takes when stunts go bad.

The Kramer vs Kramer one got me for a second there

Happy B-Day Jacky son! A'yo, Jackie's old movies are the best. I LOVED Drunken Master! And I can't wait 'till The Forbidden Kingdom comes out! Jacky Chan and Jet Lei ftw!
