Happy birthday, Jackie Chan, the greatest action star of our time.  It's really not fair to call him an action star, though.  He's closer to a dancer, like Gene Kelly, or a comedian, like Harold Lloyd.

Here's a collection of Jackie's favorite stunts.  Please note that while he does take certain precautions, he really is doing his own stunts and they are very dangerous.  The man has broken every bone in his body.



These stunts may mean a lot to him personally, but I can easily think of twenty or thirty sequences which are as good or better.  His best stuff, as the video hints at, are actually a series of related stunts where he's able to build up a head of steam.
