The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature (2017)

Jackie Chan as Mr. Feng

Despite boasting an incredibly talented all-star cast, The Nut Job 2: Crazy by Nature It was a lackluster children’s animated sequel with very little to offer adult viewers. Chan played the leader of a gang of street rats named Mr. Feng, who hated being called cute despite his small stature and adorable blue eyes. With a story about a group of squirrels trying to stop a mayor from destroying their park, kids might enjoy this story of friendship and collaboration, but for everyone else, it’s best ignored, even though it was an improvement over the first. . Crazy job.

Fearless Hyena Part II (1983)

Jackie Chan as Cheng Lung

Although Jackie Chan has had his fair share of forgettable sequences, Fearless Hyena Part II perhaps it was the most disposable. In truth, Chan himself left the film during its production and he didn’t even finish filming his part (via Roger Ebert) after film producer Willie Chan left Lo Wei Motion Picture Company to join Golden Harvest. What was left was a poorly edited and unfinished film that told the story of two Kung Fu prodigies who struggled to fight two enemies known as the Earthly Devil and the Heavenly Devil.

Cannonball Race II (1984)

Jackie Chan as himself

Jackie Chan once again appeared as himself in the action comedy sequel Cannonball Race IIstarring Burt Reynolds. Although the first film was a fun and wacky showcase of car racing carnage, the joke was already over by the time the credits rolled. Despite this, a sequel was produced, as well as a third film in the franchise, but each subsequent installment felt entirely unnecessary, and while Chan’s inclusion was a nice touch, it wasn’t enough to save this franchise from mediocrity.

13

Viy 2: Journey to China (2019)

Jackie Chan as Master Et Al

Viy 2: Trip to China was a Russian-Chinese fantasy adventure that, like its predecessor Viyit was loosely based on Nikolai Gogol’s story of the same name. Although this sequel included martial arts legends Jackie Chan and action movie icon Arnold Schwarzenegger among the cast, that wasn’t enough to save this woefully misguided fantasy adventure. While Viy 2 was presented as a serious film, the only way to really enjoy this painfully off-putting story was as an unintentional comedy.

12

The Gemini Effect II (2004)

Jackie Chan as General Wai Shing / Lord of Armor

Hong Kong fantasy action adventure The Gemini II Effect was marketed as a sequel to The twin effect but it presented an entirely different story. Telling the story of a humble boy in a mythical land undertaking an epic journey to claim his throne, this Donnie Yen film featured many supernatural occurrences and a great quest for spiritual discovery. Jackie Chan’s role was minimal and amounted to little more than cameo appearances where he played two characters. Despite some strengths, The Gemini II Effect was held back by lackluster special effects.

11

Supercop 2 (1993)

Jackie Chan as Inspector “Kevin” Chan Ka-Kui

THE Police story the franchise has featured many of Jackie Chan’s best on-screen moments; however, the derived story Supercop 2 it was the weakest series. Despite Michelle Yeoh’s performance in Supercop being good enough to justify this new entryit just didn’t compare to the glory days of the franchise. While it was nice to see Jackie Chan reprise his role as Inspector Chan Ka-kui in a small cameo, Supercop 2 it just didn’t add anything new or interesting to the series.

10

Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)

Jackie Chan as Master Monkey

Jackie Chan’s role as Master Monkey was an essential part of the Kung Fu Panda franchise and was an important addition to the Furious Five fighting team. The third installment was yet another fun addition to the Dreamworks franchise, whose light touch and sense of humor made it stand out as Po (Jack Black) faced two main threats, one supernatural and one personal. While Panda Kung Fu 3 did not reach the same heights as the previous two installmentsit was still a fun and worthwhile addition to the series.

9

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

Jackie Chan as Master Monkey

Panda Kung Fu 2 proved the potential of this animated martial arts comedy series as a major franchise. Once again, Jackie Chan was introduced as Master Monkey, helping Po travel to the city of Gongmen to stop the evil peacock Lord Shen from conquering China. This epic quest was strangely moving Panda Kung Fu 2 It perfectly mixes action, comedy, martial arts and visual splendor. With Guillermo del Toro on board as executive producer, Panda Kung Fu 2 wasn’t afraid to embrace darker themes and delve deeper than the average animated children’s film.

8

Rush Hour 3 (2007)

Jackie Chan as Chief Inspector Lee

While It’s always a pleasure to see Jackie Chan teaming up with Chris Tucker for another installment in Rush hour series, in the third film, the concept seemed to have lost strength. This time, the action has moved to Paris, where Chief Inspector Lee and Detective James Carter unravel a mystery involving a killer and Chinese triads. Although large spectacle sets kept things fun, Rush Hour 3 failed to add anything meaningful to the franchise and was a disappointing ending that will hopefully be undone whenever the much-speculated Rush Hour 4 finally comes to fruition.

7

Rush Hour 2 (2001)

Jackie Chan as Chief Inspector Lee

Rush Hour 2 managed to bring this franchise into new and interesting territory when the action was moved to Jackie Chan’s house while Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) vacationed in Hong Kong. However, this simple premise soon turned upside down when the crime-fighting duo found themselves embroiled in a murder investigation. With more of Tucker’s signature sense of humor and Chan’s martial arts skills elevating the film’s action sequences, Rush Hour 2 offered audiences everything they could want in a sequel to this well-loved and mismatched buddy cop story.

Police Story 4: First Strike (1996)

Jackie Chan as Inspector “Kevin” Chan Ka-kui

Police story 4: first attack was the last installment of Police story franchise before being rebooted and featured much more of the over-the-top action that the series was known for. From snowmobile chases to underwater shark fights, Jackie Chan really gave it his all in this highly entertaining action comedy which, in many ways, seemed like an homage to the James Bond franchise. Although there were better plots at the beginning of the Police story series, this entry was a lot of fun and more than lived up to its title.

5

Armor of God II: Operation Condor (1991)

Jackie Chan as Jackie aka “Asian Hawk” Condor”

Armor of God II: Operation Condor continued in the same vein as its predecessor to offer more Indiana Jones– martial arts-inspired excitement.

Police Story 3: Supercop (1992)

Jackie Chan as Inspector “Kevin” Chan Ka-Kui

The third Police story The film saw Jackie Chan team up with a young Michelle Yeoh for a surprising adventure that moved the action from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur. Chan’s character was given a tougher edge than was seen from him in the rest of the series, and his comedic skills were never better than those seen here in Supercop. From death-defying Kung Fu battles to hanging for dear life from a helicopter’s rope ladder while on a collision course with an oncoming train, Supercop proved Chan among the greatest martial arts stars and stunt performers of all time.

3

Project Part II (1987)

Jackie Chan as Sergeant Dragon Ma / Ma Yu-Lung

Jackie Chan returned for a sequel to his martial arts classic Project A; however, his close friends and co-stars Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were absent for Project A Part II. This sequence saw Chan become police chief of Sai Wan District and encounter a gangster kingpin, anti-Manchu revolutionaries, fugitive pirates, Manchu loyalists, and a corrupt police superintendent. A worthy continuation of the original, Project Part II kept the crazy stunts, epic Kung Fu battles, and slapstick humor coming.

2

Drunk Master II (1994)

Jackie Chan as Wong Fei-hung

Drunk Master II was also released under the title The legend of the drunken master and was a sequel to Chan’s debut film, the role that made him a star in Asia. While Drunk Master was a tough act to follow, this sequel more than lived up to its reputation and proved that Chan is a master at mixing martial arts and comedy in an accessible and enjoyable way for viewers around the world. Featuring some of the best fight sequences of Chan’s entire career Drunk Master II It was a jaw-dropping action movie. this remains impressive three decades later.

Police Story 2 (1988)

Jackie Chan as Sergeant “Kevin” Chan Ka-kui

Jackie Chan surpassed the original with the excellent sequel, Police story 2, an action comedy that upped the ante with bigger action sequences, wilder stunts, and a more emotionally engaging story. While Police story 2 It was as funny as the first onefleshed out its characters and gave viewers a reason to connect with the story about a Hong Kong super cop stopping a group of blackmailers. By taking everything the original did to the next level, Police story 2 remained as the greatest achievement in Jackie Chan incomparable career.
