Get the God damn talismans, Jackie.
TWO NEW VIDEOS ON PATREON: / overanalyzing
TWITTER: / overanalyzinga

[@overanalyzingavatar]

Like and comment on this video or else you'll never truly hit the immaculate vibe you've been striving for.

[@noahcody2655]

I’m curious what you think of practical stunts by Tom cruise in MI or Tom Hardy in Mad max. I really agree that Hollywood has lost the art of practical stunts just curious what you think about movies like that :) I’m also curious your thoughts on directors like Christopher nolan who opt for real set pieces over cgi when possible. Edit: Jesus Jackie is built like a mother heffer!

[@vintheguy]

When is overanalyzing ligma?

[@bigtruck805]

didn't know this thank you my respect sky rocket even more

[@DIEFH]

Ima try to hit it

[@matijasostojic4288]

So... Can we all agree that he isn't human.

[@billy_lead]

he's that perfect blend of passionate, perfectionist and absolutely batshit

[@okami-shaman9548]

Who? Jackie Chan or our dear Overanalyzing Avatar

[@billy_lead]

@@okami-shaman9548 either or lol

[@MumboJ]

@@okami-shaman9548 Yes.

[@danimadi3]

Being batshit insane makes the greatest people on earth is what I've noticed.

[@SnailHatan]

Yeah I agree, Overanalyzing is the best

[@CptCh4os]

I saw an interview where Jackie said he didn't like doing movies for Hollywood cause they won't let him do 128 takes on a 2 second shot to get it just right. Chinese cinema let's him do that. Yeah he's an absolute perfectionist and artist

[@ihavekalashnikovyoudomath9275]

Makes me wish Jackie could make his own studio and makes movies with the quality he wants. Not just make movies, but find and train people with the same perfectionist mentality. Not just actors, but stutmen, camera crew, grips and gaffers, writers, editing, the whole production. Jackie has a very specific style, so it's likely someone with his mentality will have their own specific style that has to propagate throughout the whole production. For example, when a punch is thrown in a Jackie movie, sometimes to emphasize the hit, the edit should show the hit twice. Show the hit in wide, cut to a closer shot where the punch hits again. In Hollywood editing, the hit is never shown. They show all the way up to the hit, and then cut to the reaction. It shows that in order for a vision to be realized, all steps in the production has to be on the same page

[@nyetloki]

That and Hollywood cuts on every hit. Instead of letting a fight happen naturally

[@Mech299]

Jackie Chan truly is the modern day Stanley Kubrick, albeit a much better sport about it all. It has to be just right.

[@bobosmith101]

Weird how that contradicts that one-take-destruction thing he brings up.

[@DuDe3810]

That shot of him landing on his neck sends chills down my spine.

[@beepbop6542]

I'm sure thousands of people die every year from lesser injuries, he's an absolute beast, and clearly someone up there really enjoyed his movies.

[@jon9828]

@@beepbop6542 Lady luck is my personal guess.

[@JaelinBezel]

Forget Bruce Willis, this man is the real Unbreakable!

[@laurelsilberman5705]

It’s so bad😰😰😰it’s one of those clips that makes you feel fucked up and have to look away a little bit

[@Breadmaker332]

Bet it sent chills down his spine too

[@Audentior_Ito]

Love that fan quote; perfectly summarizes a lot of his career & the characters he chose to create/play. "It's not 'Jackie so good,' anyone could do it - it's if you have the patience to do it."

[@iantaakalla8180]

But the thing is, no one has the patience to do it and safety protocols will prevent people from trying so Jackie Chan will remain the king of that style of physical movies for a very long time

[@OludayoKolawole]

He's so funny. "Anyone can do it" hell no

[@Falllll]

I mean, it's a complete falsehood. It's the combination of an absurdly talented and creative guy with seemingly infinite patience.

[@jon9828]

Brings to mind a quote from the game Furi. "We are what repeatedly do. Excellency is a habit". Come to think of it, that particular boss thinks the best way to fight an alien cyber-samurai is an oar and copious amounts of training. There's a connection here i think 🤔.

[@enderking6904]

In the mighty words of Markiplier “I’m not a masochist, I just want to see the upper limits of my body.”

[@tylerherr4288]

fast forward to that time in the future where i finally break my own hands because a video game pissed me off

[@Malumultimus]

I'm not surprised you like Jackie Chan. Avatar really reminded me of him. One of the big things that makes me like both is how creative they are with martial arts choreography. Whenever people ask me if I like action films, I always think of something like that and want to say "yes", but then I remember they're probably asking if I like cars and guns.

[@yeo4725]

I just realised I'm the same even though I didn't see that many Jackie Chan's movies. Cars and guns just don't work for me most of time.

[@LARVideos]

Man.. Now that I think of it, Aang's fighting style is pretty Jackie-like a lot of the times. He improvises a lot and uses his environment to his advantage quite often.

[@Silvershire]

This is not where I was expecting the channel to go, but I’m down with it.

[@romangalo3395]

i really love the fact that this channel is branching into different styles of content. Your overanalyzing Avatar series was outstanding, so i am really happy to see your aproach to making videos evolve and take on different forms.

[@RB-ej8wk]

I love when he overanalyzes stuff

[@TheKirbyT]

I went on a HUGE Jackie Chan kick a few years ago, and the man has my enduring respect. The level of perfection that man exhibits while also being a genuinely great person is so admirable.

[@ftckasino]

You really did the impossible. Building your entire fanbase from Avatar and switched to other topics once that series was over and we all came with you. Hats off to you bro!!

[@iantaakalla8180]

And simultaneously giving a name to work for both his origins and future.

[@JagoShogun]

the fans helped too. They came of their own volition. Thank you!

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

If it's martial arts slapstick you seek, then I highly recommend Kung Fu Hustle. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

[@Simonk_6]

Great movie

[@gart0562]

Yup yup

[@reachthroughreality]

I can never find the dub anymore and that makes me sad.

[@marc68521]

If you want more insane then Kung POW

[@themightybosch5923]

Was my favorite movie before Everything Everywhere All At Once showed up

[@zacharysherwood7178]

I am down for this series!

[@Thjperry97]

I’m loving these types of videos, obviously avatar is amazing and I loved your series on it, but you are seriously talented at taking topics and breaking them down in a comprehensive and interesting way. Can’t wait for more videos like this and Bigfoot! Haha 😂

[@superspider64]

Jeeze, i knew Jackie did a few stunts all on his own but I had no idea it was this crazy, the man earns my respect even more now

[@ICYoyoLamar]

I obviously found you because of Avatar, something I'm extremely passionate about, and I wasn't sure about how I'd like your other content but you're a great story teller and analyzer. I look forward to whatever you put out man. You're so talented.

[@chico_Olares]

I always had respect for Jackie Chan himself and his stunts and after watching this it has grown some more (Enjoyed the video btw and have a great day or night)

[@DominoPivot]

Part of me is like: wow yeah, some of these clips were comedy gold, I need to watch some old Jackie Chan movies. Another part of me is like: yikes, this doesn't seem healthy and I'm kinda cringing thinking about how painful that must have actually been. Maybe I should stick to the cartoons.

[@badmann8099]

Amazing video "Every Frame a Painting" has a similar video but he talks more about the directing style of Jackie, for anyone wanting more

[@killerdrew99]

Jackie Chan is a fucking menace. A genius and innovator but an absolute menace.

[@TacticalBunnyCA]

Statement of fact: Jackie Chan is The singular greatest action actor of all time, not Sylvester Stallone not Arnold Schwarzenegger not Bruce Willis not Bruce Lee not John Wayne or Clint Eastwood but Jackie Chan. Absolute fact. I’ll say that Tom Cruise puts in an incredibly high level of effort as well I might truly be the master of the number two slot but Jackie Chan still exists which precludes the GOAT spot.

[@krewisyoodkrefamforever3381]

Search up stellvestee ajero :)

[@DDKolt]

I always looked up to him because he was so good, but just as he says, he’s not good he just keeps going until it is perfect. When I heard him say that I looked up to him even more, because not giving up is one of the most important things to be a successful and interesting person.

[@matthewgoodson9275]

I would 100% would watch a series completely new to me as long as I was watching it weekly with you over analyzing it. Or under analyzing. Or really anything, your humor is a perfect match for me

[@michaelmurray5868]

Didn’t know what you would do after Overanalyzing Avatar was finished but you have just kept putting out bangers. Love the style of how you deliver your content. It’s different than everyone else and keeps me hooked and listening. So glad I found this channel a couple months ago. Keep up the great work!

[@SeraSmiles]

Jackie Chan is absolutely at his best (imo) in kinda small chinese roles/movies where he can be as ridiculous as possible. Nothing will ever beat him playing the chef who doesn't know Kung Fu being taught to fight by children telling him to pretend the enemy soldiers are dough

[@drilltotheheavens1695]

This is still one of my favorite videos you’ve made.

[@feliciaadams7666]

I was not emotionally prepared to learn Jackie Chan can sing.

[@iamjaboba]

I thought i had seen every video on this channel. And then imagine my surprise seeing this one in my KZbin recommendations

[@firesd7306]

Loving these, just some fast paced documentaries of things we never really think about. Amazing.

[@ItsNotJustRice]

Jackie was, and still is, my favorite actor to watch. Kung-fu related or not, he is truly something else. You should do something overanalyzing the movie 'Kung-Fu Hustle' Not sure what injuries happened, if any, but its a favorite of mine, and reminds me of Jackie through the whole film. This whole trying to find where the channel goes after avatar, I'd love to see more martial arts related content, you're fantastic at it man! Thanks for the content!

[@MumboJ]

Fun Fact: The criminally-underrated "Jackie Chan Adventures" cartoon was actually a documentary explaining the real-life backstory of how Jackie Chan gained his magical powers. Seriously though, that show is amazing and everyone should watch it (or rewatch it if they only saw it as a kid).

[@daxcasselman8627]

really glad to see you making content after finishing with avatar. I especially love the subject matter. His initials being JC isn't a coincidence. The man is a god

[@isaacweston6066]

I like how the title of this channel has changed meaning from "Overanalyzing the show called Avatar" to "the Avatar of Overanalyzing things"

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

Can we talk about the sheer nie-superhumanity of Bruce Lee? He attained such perfect honing of his body and extreme talent that he once one-inch-punched through three HANGING BOARDS in a SINGLE STRIKE. He once took on two players at once in ping pong, WITH A PAIR OF NUNCHUKS, _AND WON._ Do you know how _hard_ it is to use nunchuks effectively, much less achieve the sheer precision required to play _ping pong_ with them? and he beat TWO GUYS AT ONCE like that! There's footage of that match on youtube to this day!

[@SolomonTheSoloOneDy]

All the Police Stories and Legend of the Drunken Master are my favorite movies. I love how he puts the outtakes in the ending of all his movies

[@vladtheinhaler9744]

I've always been a big fan of Jackie Chan and his work, since my dad showed me alot of his films when i was younger. He would mention where he suffered which injury while we were watching, which gave me huge respect for him. I did not know however, that he directed most of his films himself, makes it even more impressive. I think this is the perfect direction to take for the channel. The reason i love your stuff is your style of Analysis, but this shows that you can apply that to other things very well. As long as the topic you're covering is something YOU have a passion for, i will watch every second of it!

[@someonelikeable616]

You just inspired me to rewatch a bunch of jackie chan films, I always liked that guy. He's such a good person in real life too.

[@armstrong.r]

What makes Jackie Chan so recognizable to me is his style of direction and choreography, both of which are vastly different than Bruce Lee's. I love that we have two very iconic and classic approaches to the same niche genre.

[@LordRunty]

I love Jackie Chan, he's absolutely incredible. I always want more of him, and I also kind of lowkey hope there's never another Jackie Chan, because all those injuries he's sustained over his career, they're just crazy. But it's also a big part of why Jackie Chan is so amazing. Nothing feels as real as his scenes and his fights because they just aren't as real. They feel like something someone in a desperate situation would do, and the crazy lad did it. But the dedication to the long takes where there's hundreds of tries until it's near perfection? That's something I wish Hollywood would do more of. Shaky cameras and cuts every 5 seconds will never be good.

[@fernandothatsonofabitch]

watching Jackie Chan get hurt doing a stunt and then keep going is inspiring he's like if Mick Foley had the agility of a squirrel

[@fadingstarlight8]

Your style of explaining your thoughts is absolutely gold and unique to you. I love it.

[@tacocatandy]

I'm so happy that you have not only continued with the content post ATLA, but it's just as top quality as it always was. HUGS!

[@lmockx]

Why is this not in your “overanalyzing premium” playlist??!!

[@seanengelgau5496]

You're currently proving you are not limited to just one type of video. You've got some incredible on screen charisma and sense of momentum, even from your first video you've had the building blocks for a great channel and I hope you stick with branching out into talking about a variety of topics without having to be stuck with one type of video. Fantastic work man!

[@bobosmith101]

I think you just made me a Jackie Chan fan without me ever watching a Jackie Chan movie.

[@cesnottheconvention]

Grew up watching Jackie Chan. Absolute unit. Favorite are the bloopers at the end of his movies.

[@FireZombie7WH]

The amount of info dump is something I never knew I needed lol This was an amazing analysis of someone I loved seeing growing up.

[@legarsa_la_casquette_kaki3052]

The secret of jackie chan is been jackie chan and not trying to mimic somebody else . nice video man .

[@cjlg1822]

Yesssss, this is why I stayed subscribed, most people now find it hard to find a direction in there channel, you are the avatar, who over analyzes everything

[@Dirpman42]

This was great! I'd be totally down if you wanted to go through some of Jackie Chan's movies. Or hell even doing a series on Jackie Chan Adventures. That shit is aces.

[@kylebourgouin8673]

idk if anyone else commented this but, Jackie Chan's physiotherapist or chiropractor is a GOD

[@showingthelinks8441]

This is the second time that I saw the notification come up(Bigfoot being the other) where I was like, "I don't know if I am going to like this so I'll pass on this one" only to be scrolling through for relaxing content and find it again and play it to have a wonderful time watching. These last two videos have been very delightful and I will say better than all of overanalyzing avatar. I will always watch your stuff.

[@marzipancutter8144]

I think the worse his injuries were in those scenes, the more he wanted to finish it. Normal takes, he can repeat whenever he wants. But after a stunt like the pole drop, he knows he only has this one take, he isn't going to be able to take a fall like that twice in one day. So he keeps on trucking because it's the only chance he's going to get for the perfect take, and that's an amazing mindset.

[@eduardochavez7889]

Jackie Chan is one of the reasons I want to learn martial arts since I was a little kid, it always looked awesome

[@masonlewis8462]

Fun fact, jackie chan didn't actually do the voice of himself for the cartoon jackie chan adventures, even though they had him at the end of most every episode

[@tyriekbaker2667]

It'd be pretty sick to have an over analyzed Jacki chan adventures series. Hint hint

[@victor_e_dafeet8218]

I love how you format and talk about stuff in your videos, so if you keep making videos about random topics you’re into I’ll probably watch them all. Keep up the good work my dude!

[@OfficalCali]

I think Jackie Chan has entered the jet lee tier at this point I don’t see another one coming up for a long time

[@edisonadler6618]

I'm so into this overanalyzing-type genre you're pioneering! Especially on Jackie Chan here; I knew about the injuries but not to the full extent you analyzed it at.

[@sejdric]

This man was my childhood icon, a real hero for the people

[@yellow7043]

you should name the films youre clipping cause god each of these are incredibly dope

[@markm5927]

Awesome video. The point about action scenes not really sticking with viewers now is spot on. I often zone out during superhero fighting scenes. Jackie Chan's movies have a clear realness to them that the comedy only adds to.

[@that_blind_ginger]

This was just 12 minutes of being told that Jackie Chan is the toughest and coolest SOB to be on earth... friggin 10/10 and it would be cool to see more videos like this one on other stars to

[@Multigameguy35]

I was literally thinking about your videos earlier today I did not know all of this, thanks for sending out the recognition

[@hamasathecold7842]

I think kindred spirits in the industry are Jackie Chan and Tom Cruise. Both perfectionists, both absolutely dedicated to making their stuff as real as humanly possible, and both pushing their industries as far as they can possibly go. I shudder to think of what might happen if the two of them got together to make the most banger blockbuster the world has ever seen.

[@pheonixMHTri]

Your style of video can really just make me watch about any topic, I didnt even think I cared for the genre of movies jackie chan made but now its sorta interesting
