Best Jackie Chan Movies Malaysians Rewatch Over and Over Again!

Let’s be honest, you don’t watch a Jackie Chan movie; you get punched, kicked, and laughed at by one. Every time you rewatch, you notice another crazy stunt he actually did himself.

In many ways, he is an icon and hero for action fans.

For Malaysians, Jackie’s mix of Cantonese swagger and slapstick warmth? It hits somewhere between home-cooked chaos and Saturday-night reruns that you just can’t stop looping.

And while we all must admit Jackie is impeccable when it comes to dodging bullets, is he skilled enough to dodge CNY questions from Ah Ma, Ah Gong, Aunties, Uncles, Random Neighbour, Ah Ma’s cousin’s mother-in-law

1. Police Story 警察故事 (1985)

• Director: Jackie Chan
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung

“You push Maggie Cheung down the stairs—I fight.”

You think you’ve seen tough cops in movies before?

Wait till you watch Jackie Chan fly through real glass, crash into desks, and somehow laugh it off like he just stubbed his toe.

Police Story doesn’t just balance action and comedy—it smashes them together until sparks fly and bruises bloom.

What makes it unforgettable isn’t just the stunts. It’s how human it feels, even when things get ridiculous. You laugh, wince, maybe shout at the screen, then realise: this is a man literally risking his spine to tell a story about duty, chaos, and stubborn loyalty.

It’s wild. It’s honest. It’s Jackie.

2. Drunken Master 醉拳 (1978)

• Director: Yuen Woo-ping
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Yuen Siu-tien, Hwang Jang-lee

“I will beat the ass off of you. You will be a man with no ass.”

Drunken Master rewrote kung fu comedy before that was even a thing. The story’s simple: a cocky kid screws up one too many times, so he gets handed to a filthy old beggar who beats humility (and elegance) into him, one bottle at a time.

It’s raw, funny, and almost rude in its rhythm. One minute you’re laughing at Jackie acting like a fool, the next you’re gasping at how a “drunk” man just pulled off a perfect spinning kick.

This is the movie that turned Jackie Chan from a stuntman into a legend. Why? Because it proved you could sweat, stumble, and still look heroic doing it.

3. Project A A計劃 (1983)

• Director: Jackie Chan
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Dick Wei, Isabella Wong

“No shooting at criminals, we will chase after them instead.”

You know those movies where a guy jumps off a clock tower for real?

Yeah, that’s Project A. Jackie Chan literally drops from 60 feet and calls it just another Tuesday at work. Set in late 19th‑century Hong Kong, you get pirates, uniforms, and chaos so polished it looks accidental.

The story is simple—law versus outlaws—but the execution is pure endurance theater disguised as comedy.

What makes it hit different is how Chan turns danger into rhythm. A bar fight looks like a dance. A bicycle chase plays like slapstick jazz.

You watch this for the choreography, not the pirates. Every punch, tumble, and pratfall feels like it’s written in bone and sweat.

4. Police Story 2 警察故事續集 (1988)

• Director: Jackie Chan
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Bill Tung, Lam Kwok-Hung

“You bomb the city? Then I’ll bomb your plans.”

You think you’ve seen Jackie Chan risk it all in Police Story? Wait till you see him go toe-to-toe with bombers and lunatics while juggling love drama and bureaucratic punishment.

This time he’s demoted, bruised, and probably one dumb decision away from early retirement — yet somehow more heroic for it.

The action feels tighter, the humor dimmer, and the explosions louder. You’ll notice the slowdown in pacing, but when the fireworks explode — literally — you forgive everything.

It’s less goofy, more desperate, like Chan knew you were watching to see if he’d actually survive.

5. Police Story 3: Super Cop 警察故事 III：超級警察 (1992)

• Director: Stanley Tong
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung

“All I know how to ride a bike is how to go, how to speed, how to jump—that’s it.”

Police Story 3: Super Cop takes his Hong Kong cop saga international—pairing him with Michelle Yeoh (go go Malaysia!), who doesn’t just keep up; she practically dares him to fall behind.

There’s less slapstick this time and more grit, but the humour still sneaks in like an inside joke between explosions.

Full on 20 minutes of cars, motorcycles, helicopters, trains—all moving at once, like someone dared gravity to quit its job.

And the wildest part is, they actually did those stunts. No CGI heroics, just bruises and very real panic.

6. Shanghai Noon 上海正午 (2000)

• Director: Tom Dey
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Lucy Liu

“The Sheriff is dead?!” — “This is the Wild West, you can’t just kill people!”

The movie that decided kung fu deserved a cowboy hat.

Jackie plays Chon Wang, an Imperial Guard way out of his depth, chasing a kidnapped princess across dusty Nevada and straight into Owen Wilson’s lazy outlaw charm.

It’s part buddy comedy, part martial arts western, and all attitude.

The hook here isn’t just fists flying; it’s watching two total opposites hustle their way through gunfights, bar brawls, and culture clash chaos.

It’s the kind of movie that knows it’s a popcorn flick and doesn’t apologize for it, the best kind of English-language Jackie Chan chaos ride.

7. Wheels on Meals 快餐車 (1984)

• Director: Sammo Hung
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Lola Forner

“Cooking’s easy. Fighting’s harder.”

Jackie Chan doesn’t just move, he ricochets off balconies, rails, and logic itself.

By the time you realize what’s happening, skateboards are transport, kitchens are arenas, and even a castle wall looks scalable if you’ve got the right rhythm.

The secret sauce is the chemistry. Three friends who trust each other enough to throw real punches.

Between the acrobatics and the dumb jokes, you see something honest: heroes who sweat, stumble, and still land the punchline.

8. The Foreigner 龙震天下 (2017)

• Director: Martin Campbell
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan

“Politicians and terrorists—they’re just two ends of the same snake.”

Yeah, it’s a little like Taken, but it’s Jackie, so he gets a pass.

The punches land heavy, the silence even heavier. Jackie Chan shows up wearing grief like armor and blows holes—literal holes—through that assumption.

Martin Campbell, the man who rebooted Bond twice, keeps the camera sober and the fights sharp. No glossy slow motion, no dumb one-liners. Just grit, sweat, and explosions that actually mean something.

It’s the kind of film that sneaks up on you. It’s totally different from the usual Jackie Chan works, but either way, it’ll keep you on the edge of your seat.

9. Rush Hour 火拼時速 (1998)

• Director: Brett Ratner
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, Tom Wilkinson, Tzi Ma, Elizabeth Peña

“Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?!”

Ahhh, don’t you just love the late 90s comedy? Unrestrained and just downright fun and comfortable to watch!

Rush Hour immediately gets it — the entire film runs on chaos and charisma.

Hong Kong meets Hollywood. Jackie Chan’s quiet precision collides with Chris Tucker’s nonstop mouth, and somehow it just works.

The setup’s simple: an international kidnapping, an FBI cover-up, and two cops who shouldn’t be partners but end up saving the day before anyone else finishes their coffee.

Chemistry between Jackie and Chris is the element that glues things together. You’re not there for the plot twists; you’re there to see Chan play the calm center to Tucker’s tornado.

10. City Hunter 城市獵人 (1993)

• Director: Wong Jing
• Cast: Jackie Chan, Joey Wong, Kumiko Goto, Chingmy Yau, Richard Norton, Gary Daniels

“He’s out of town, out of time, and out of his depth.”

Jackie Chan literally fights a Street Fighter villain mid-electrocution and somehow makes it look normal.

This movie doesn’t flirt with absurdity—it jumps in headfirst, drenched in neon, wearing roller skates, and winking at you the whole time.

At times, it feels like live-action anime on a sugar rush, which, depending on your mood, is either genius or a fever dream you can’t look away from.
