What is so special about Jackie Chan films and the fight scenes in them? Why is Jackie black-listed by nearly every insurance company?
Jackie Chan does his own stunts. The retakes of his stunt scenes are usually shown during the end credits of his films.
Jackie holds the Guinness World Record for "Most Stunts By A Living Actor", which emphasizes "no insurance company will underwrite Chan's productions, in which he performs all his own stunts". In addition, he holds an unrecognized record for the most number of takes for a single shot in a film, having shot over 2900 retakes for a complex scene involving a badminton game in Dragon Lord, directed by himself (1982). The end fight scene at a steel factory (1994)
But a lot of young people in Hong Kong do not like his movie at all.

I am the biggest fan of Jackie chan. He is a superhuman and a living legend. No one EVER will be able to match his action and stunts.
