Jackie Chan doing his thing

Personally I dug Jackie Chan's sublime maneuvers more than his big set piece stunts, moments like effortlessly shimmying up over a high fence or the various improvised props he would incorporate in his fight scenes. But people dig the big stunts, they were his trademark and he made some of the craziest and most inventive action scenes ever filmed. My personal favorite is #2 on this list from Project A: the 3-story drop smack into the ground--then he gets up and has a scene! (I once recommended Project A to the great comparative religions scholar Huston Smith. I wonder if he enjoyed it...)
