Here is Jackie explaining how he stages a group fight. This dvd taught me so much about filmmaking

I spliced together two cuts of Jackie Chan: My Stunts - the SD version that contains from the OG cut and the HD criterion re-edit with better video but fewer copyrighted clips.

John Woo is renowned for his intense preference for the Beretta 92 (specifically the 92F and 92FS models) in his films, a choice he considers essential for his "gun-fu" aesthetic.

@SuperViiral That’s a regular dude

John Woo on why he doesn’t like his heroes using machine guns, and the moment Chow Yun-fat first dual-wielded Berettas in A Better Tomorrow - effectively giving birth to the heroic bloodshed genre.

Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate.

On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other".

Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion.

Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself.

Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo.

Rest in peace, Chuck!

In 1976, before modern CGI, they just used a man in costume as the dog's stunt double

We have met Sam, and he actually is this sweet, this honest, and he came from middle of nowhere, with no contacts.

But he was brilliant, and forged his own path!
