Jackie Chan – Police Story

Jackie Chan is well known for performing his own stunts and fights, from sliding down a curtain from on high in Rush Hour to drunkenly jumping on stage to sing along with Taiwanese musician Jonathan Lee in real life.

His most famous franchise, Police Story, ends with one his most famous stunts. After dispatching countless henchman at a mall, he spots the film’s central villain running away four floors down. No time for the elevator (despite the villain being elderly and slow moving), Chan jumps on a metal pole covered in lights, shattering every last one on the way down. Then, without a cut, he leaps onto a busted kiosk, grabs a hunk of shattered glass (at this point in the film, shattered glass was really easy to get a hold of) and holds it to the neck of the age-challenged bad guy.

This fraternity brother bet was all performed with real Christmas lights with the power to electrocute, and a coffee kiosk as opposed to a crash mat.
