A List Of Jackie Chan Stunts In Which He Almost Died

In the list of Jackie Chan stunts the star risks his life

, and has come close to death many times. Still, he keeps going, making some of the best martial arts movies ever made. Here are seven Jackie Chan Films in which he nearly met the grim reaper, or at least suffered serious injuries.

One of his early starring efforts was a movie called Snake in the Eagle's Shadow. During the filming of this movie he failed to evade a sword which should have had a blunt edge. The result was a thick spray of his blood, and the screams you hear in the scene are of his real and actual pain.

In Police Story he was nearly paralyzed. He slid down a pole in one scene, exploding lights and ripping electrical wires and falling through a glass cover. In this scene he broke the seventh and eighth vertebra in his spine, and dislocated his pelvis.

During the filming of Crime Story Jackie had a scene in which he was between two cars which were crashing together. Either his timing, or the drivers' timing was not quite what it should have been. The sequence resulted in one Jackie Chan Stunt, and a star with two crushed legs.

He has injured his knees more times than he can count, and doubts that he has much cartilage left. One of the worst knee injuries he ever suffered was during, of all things, a skateboard scene. The film was City Hunter.

One of his most famous injuries was while filming a scene while filming Rumble in the Bronx. He leaped and broke his ankle when attempting to land on a moving hovercraft. You can see, if you look carefully, the cast they put on his leg so he could keep filming.

He nearly broke his neck on the set of Project A. In this instance he fell from a very tall clock tower, bounced from awning to awning, before landing on his head on the ground. You can see this scene, and other out takes of him being injured, at the end of the movie.

The worst injury he ever received, however, was during the filming of Armour of God. He leaped to a tree, missed, and bashed his head on the ground. The star is a trooper however, for within two days of nearly dying from a broken skull and hemorrhaging brain, he was back filming and making more of his incredible Jackie Chan Stunts.
