JACKIE CHAN vs BENNY 'THE JET' URQUIDEZ Fights (Benny tells it ALL!)

[@SilverforceX]

The fight scene in Meals on Wheels still today is the best martial art fight scene in cinema.

Benny doesn't even swear. He seems like the nicest guy ever, and it's a pleasure listening to him telling these stories, smiling, with a contagious happiness and excitement.

[@combatshox]

Yet he,d kill ya in the ring.Great guy.Thanks for all the memories.

[@livingbeing1113]

Not only was Benny a real fighter, he picked up the art quickly and looked fantastic in movies too. Sadly very underused, he had the crazy, badass look and the charisma, and the fact that he was a real kickboxer added to his aura.

[@roddyboethius1722]

He's the real deal. It's just nice to listen to him tell his stories. He is so grateful and kind. A great fighter, no doubt.

[@johnnyenglish6751]

He was awesome in Grosse Pointe Blank! The fight scene with John Cusack was great!

[@treadstoned9915]

The movies that Sammo Hung and Jackie did together were always epic. Throw Benny the Jet in and you are guaranteed a banger.

[@chanimpresario4968]

I met Jackie and he is such a nice guy. I asked for an autograph and my pen didn't work. So Jackie said to his bodyguard to wait and for my friend to get another pen. As we were in Queensway London people started to recognise it was Jackie and gather. His bodyguard kept hounding him to leave and he turned and said "No waiting!" Really quite determine to give me an autograph. Legend of a man.

What was so adorable about that was that Jackie had a bodyguard :D

[@Newjerseyblows]

The rest of the story was Jackie had to leave early and later when the guy went to take a bath he read "Love Jackie :)" on his forehead

[@LeedleLee457]

In Jackie's autobiography, he tells a story of him at the airport. He met an elderly man in his 80's who wanted an autograph, Jackie was in a hurry and said "Sorry, next time". The old man replied "There might not be a next time". While sitting in the plane, those words bothered Jackie so much that he went back into the terminal and looked for that old man to give him an autograph. It's in his book "Never Grow Up".

[@shuflee2754]

Watching the shaky cam, dark room fight with 0.5 second cuts and CGI, you learn to appreciate the Hong Kong classics all the more. No director or stuntman has ever come close to emulating a shred of all these classic movies. Thank you Jackie Chan for giving us all a wonderful childhood.

[@damienholland8103]

I hate that modern movie technique (shaky cam + .5 second cuts) for violent scenes. Always seemed so cheap.

[@pilummurialis6490]

John Wick and Ip Man

[@LeetTron5000]

@@pilummurialis6490 ip man is of the genre atleast. John wick is probably the best of the west for it but still incomparable to prime jackie chan.

[@frankomarks895]

So interesting to hear it all from the legend, the man himself, Benny The JET!! A true master man you can see the pain shoot through Jackies arm and body when The Jet Kicked him in his forearm. Instantly stop Jackie in his tracks. It's a good thing Benny wasn't going full power cuz he would have easily broken his forearm right there at 5:48. Still look like it could have been a hairline fracture at least. You know Jackie felt that in the morning. A good strong kick made Jackies forearm wobble like jelly. Mucho Massive respect to The Jet a true warrior,!!

[@onlytri6734]

I think you'd enjoy the yuri boyka fights from the undisputed movies. Whoever choreographed those fights did really good 👍

[@dallassteel625]

I honestly REALLY enjoyed this interview. I say that because you let Benny actually do most of the talking and you’re not interrupting him every few seconds like a lot of interviewers do. THANK YOU FOR LETTING HIM TALK!!! It was great hearing his side of this legendary fight scene. I hope to meet Benny one day. It would be a great experience.

[@attieyag]

THAT FIGHT SCENE… When I was a kid… I was like “…… …Man… iREALLY think these dudes are HITTING and landing these kicks FOR REAL……” and it’s cool to hear that they actually were. Lol

[@Artesian_mirage]

I second this, was great and rare to see someone actually let the man talk free flow. ..& more people need to recognise this fight scene as one of the greatest (if not THE greatest, imo) fight scenes in cinematic history. Benny a true noble warrior

[@Coopdog1911]

Me too. This was a great interview

[@kenluk4031]

yes

[@SingleTax]

Glad those two got along so well.

[@tosickristian7365]

There you have it. a kickboksing legend saying that jackie could have been a champion. What more do you need to hear

[@Viewer13128]

yea, ppl should've been able to tell just by watching Jackie's physical exercises and timing and reaction. Jackie was way fitter than champions we see today. Ppl just think he can't react to punches. Jackie's been in street fights, sparring, and choreographed fight scenes. those are actually plenty to train punch reaction. They think Jackie will react like a new guy at the gym who never sparred? they think they know fighting but they are clueless about fighting. glad benny proved them wrong.

[@yongdeng1813]

Could have been means he is NOT… people gotta understand jackie is an actor, not a real fighter. Now if he trains hard to be a fighter then maybe, just like benny said

[@TamNguyen-vw4qg]

Well said Bro.! JACKIE CHAN'S MARTIAL ART ISN'T FAKE! But the SMARTEST GUYS in every WING CHUN school meant THIS! WC ISN'T the only GUNG FU and MARTIAL ARTS STYLE! JACKIE ISN'T ONLY AN ACTOR- OF COURSE HE MASTERS MARTIAL ARTS!!!

[@hendywijaya3213]

Sorry, I won't buy that.. Jackie isn't a real martial artist, he's physically fit and strong but only for stunt. He's a stuntman.

[@TamNguyen-vw4qg]

[@burqut]

Saw Wheels on Meals for the first time about 30 years ago, and the fight scene between Jacki and Benni arguably was the best fight scene I have ever seen. That notion still holds true to this day. Love and respect to sensei Benny Urquidez and Jacki Chan.

[@alexarellano2258]

Excellent interview, Benny is the man, he talks so sincerely and so happy, you can feel the excitement he irradiates when remember all that stuff.

[@kgunitkeese17]

Whenever I hear Benny the Jet talk, I always feel a strong aura emanating from him. It’s almost like he’s a philosophical monk.

[@kothet6961]

Can’t agree more

[@mckdink]

The big Buddha painting in back doesn't help either lolol

[@DARKCLOUDXERO]

Definitely one if not the best rival fighter in his movies. The first time I saw the fight I was just reacting to every impact and move. A gem of a movie. The sacrifice both Benny and Jackie made was well worth it.

[@Harmzz]

Still my favourite fight scene of all time. Excellent interview, I was laughing when Benny realised that Jackie was just joking when he wanted to fight him 🤣

[@antwango]

would love it if Conor Mac and Diaz started their next fight shit talk like this

[@BigD-nk6yj]

Same. Best fight scene ever

[@sasori21153]

Man. The movie is 38 years ago. Wasn't even born yet but that movie was awesome when I fist saw it in the late 90's

[@minionofgozer7414]

So basically, Jackie realised Benny was a real fighter, not afraid to remove barriers and get his hands dirty. Smart enough to remember the choreography, strong enough to keep going for hours and tough enough to give back what he gets. I imagine thats how you'd have to impress Jackie if you wanted to do a scene with him and earn his complete respect. Do it, show him you can do it and give back what you get. That way he knows you're legit and will treat you like a brother 👍

[@BellowDGaming]

Mad respect to Benny for taking Jackie's punches and jobbing for him on the film. This was the most gritty and bloody real fight Jackie ever had in his movies since it's really full contact.

[@kipp1231]

All of Jackie's movies from the 70s/80s were full contact.

[@alberisdantas4956]

I not even kidding but it was one of the most beautiful fight in the history of the action movies, that man in his pride was a animal.

[@woolfel]

benny's fight on wheels on meals is one of the best in cinema period! Even today it's still one of the best.

[@WushuTaz]

When I was very young, I wanted to be a fight choreographer and it was this fight scene from Meals on Wheels that motivated me the most. To this day, I still consider it one of the best fight scenes in the history of film. It was such a game changer back then.

[@jherrenor]

Westerners: Why do the hits look so real?! HK: Because they were real.

[@heic1971]

Especially this fight scene, Benny is a real fighter, he wasn’t good at pulling movie punches at least at this point of his acting career. So Samo and jackie just opt the punches be real.

so many stupid people who don't understand potential. they say "jackie is not a fighter, he would get destroyed" then an undefeated full contact kickboxing champion here who also beat an undefeated thai boxing champion is flat out telling you Jackie Chan could have easily been not only a professional fighter but an INCREDIBLE CHAMPION. thank you Benny

Yeah a lot of these martial arts stars are really well conditioned, flexible and learn quickly. They just need to practice fighting a bit and they should be pretty good.

[@awesomereviews1561]

Worked with JC twice and I disagree. Did JC had the physical abilities? Yes. Did he had the mentality? Big no. Benny is being nice to him coz JC helped him back in days. And while we are at it, JC has been using stunt double since forever ( only on minor stunts when he was younger). When I was working with him his stunt double was In-seop Lee ( aka Mr Lee), and he was shooting stuff all the time while JC was busy chasing girls on set.

[@dwightgaston6079]

That Meals on Wheels fight ranks as the greatest alongside Bruce and Chuck. That shot with the table scraping back as they fought was for me the height of cinematic fight chroeography! So nice to finally see Jet and have him break down this iconic scene! Thank you!

I’m a big fan of the Bruce and Chuck fight. But Jackie vs Benny tops it for me no question. It’s more entertaining.

[@Daemonarch2k6]

When hollywood is doing fight scenes, they need to speed it up later to make it look dynamic, when hongkong/jackie doing fightscenes, you need to slow it down, that it barely looks humanly possible. Benny is an incredible human being, i adore him very much!

[@roddyboethius1722]

Benny has a good heart. You can tell. He has this enthusiasm that is pure.

[@terrycook5248]

Benny was one of the most underrated martial artists of cinema. He should have been in more films.👍

[@FelixFukuyoshi]

So funny.. I expected him to say the he didn't blow out the candles with his leg. Because we tried it in our movie and we couldn't manage it!! Shows how much power Urquidez has in his kicks!

[@BruceWillow]

I also thought it was fake. Boy is he powerful!

[@Viewer13128]

if u guys thought it was impossible, what does it tell us that Jackie and his team expected it? im gonna guess some of them can do it.

Sounds like such an excellent experience. Benny and Jackie might have been unable to speak clearly to one another but the language of martial arts is universal. If Benny's story is accurate it really seems like two consummate professionals came together to create something amazing and UNIQUE. They did everything themselves instead of taking all their cues from the same choreographer that works with the exact same style across a bunch of different movies. What an amazing interview.

Excellent interview. I learned so much just about film making, motivation, and dedication. Watching this I always wondered about continuity. Yup they had to wait for the swelling to go down before they can re-shoot. I think that's why they got along so well. Recovery from accidents is what Jackie does in his spare time, then he does it again. They are both a special breed.
