After watching Rush Hour 1 and 2, I am hooked on him.

Can anyone recommend other good films by him. Ideally a similar sort of style - action and comedy.

Thanks.

Surely in the wrong forum?



Anyway:

Shanghai Noon is a JC film of a similar ilk.

Other than that, you are going into HK cinema territory here.

But (IMHO) not even close in terms of comedy.

You could try Police Story, I think www.play.com have it reasonably cheap. Otherwise check out the Hong Kong reviews topic in the Review forum.

I always enjoy watching 'dragons forever'. would definately recommend it as a comedy. Other old stuff like 'project A' and 'armour of god' are good as well. Mr nice guy is an alright new jackie film. And the end fight in 'who am i' is awesome. Drunken master and young master are good as well

what the hell as i think back i'll end up recommending everything he's done (even karate ghostbusters)

JC films that i've seen that I think are worth checking out:

Armour Of God
City Hunter
Crime Story
Dragons Forever
Drunken Master
Drunken Master 2 (AKA: The Legend Of Drunken master)
Fearless Hyena (Avoid the version Play.com have for £7.99 AT ALL COSTS, it's P&S from 2.35:1 to 4:3, then cropped again to 16:9. In fact, ignore all the JC films thathave front covers similar to that Fearless Hyena DVD)
First Mission (AKA: Heart Of The Dragon)
Gorgeous
Miracles
Mr Nice Guy
My Lucky Stars (HKL will release this later)
Operation Condor
Police Story
Police Story 2 (HKL release it very soon)
Police Story 3
Project A (HKL will release this later)
Project A 2 (HKL will release this later)
Rumble In The Bronx
Rush Hour
Rush Hour 2
Shangai Noon
Snake in The Eagle's Shadow
Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars (HKL will release this later)
Young Master (HKL will release this later)
Wheel's On Meals (HKL will release this later)
Who Am I?
Winners & Sinners (HKL will release this later)

That's a pretty big list actually, so here's my top 10 favourite HK Jackie Chan films (Otherwise Shangai Noon would be in there):

Dragons Forever
Drunken master
Drunken Master 2
Police Story
Police Story 2
Project A
Project A 2
Snake in The Eagle's Shadow
Young Master
Wheels On Meals

In no particular order of course. The above top 10 are all action comedies btw, but Young Master & Snake In The eagle's shadow are old school kung fu films.

Word of warning though,
Jackie Chan's old school kung-fu movies are completely different to the Rush Hour films.

More in common with Bruce Lee movies than what you consider to be a Jackie Chan movie
