Along the journey, a Korean warrior attempts to seize her back but Meng saves her. Ok-Soo falls in love with Meng and displays her affections for him openly, but Meng keeps his honour by rejecting her and successfully completing his mission. The Qin emperor becomes critically ill later and he sends Meng to find the immortality elixir, the only thing that can save his life. The guards escorting the elixir are ambushed by rebels on the orders of the treacherous prince and chancellor. Meng hands over the elixir to his deputy Nangong Yan and dies in the ensuing battle.

Rumble In The Bronx

Blinded by greed, his involvement draws his gang, the kid, Keong, and the whole neighborhood into a deadly crossfire. When the lazy cops fail to successfully resolve matters, Keong takes things into his own hands. Needless to say, much spectacular kung-fu and outrageous action
Rush Hour Trilogy
The Rush Hour series comes to a close (hopefully) with this inert and entirely needless installment, in which stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are put through the paces of an overblown and downright desperate attempt at recapturing the energetic charm of the original. This time around, cops Lee (Chan) and Carter (Tucker) must travel to Paris after old friend Consul Han (Tzi Ma) is gunned down by Chinese mobsters. There's virtually nothing within Rush Hour 3 that works; screenwriter Jeff Nathanson offers up a stale storyline that's exacerbated by the unreasonably slow pace, while the film's fight sequences come off as hopelessly bland and surprisingly dull. Brett Ratner's stilted directorial choices ensure that the loose, free-wheeling vibe he's obviously striving for remains just out of reach, and Rush Hour 3 consequently possesses all the spontaneity of a daytime soap. Chan's expectedly stiff turn isn't even remotely as problematic as Tucker's obscenely broad performance, as the actor shouts and mugs his way through the entirety of the movie's protracted running time. And although the climactic battle is admittedly kind of effective, it's simply not enough to excuse the worthlessness of almost everything that precedes it.
Snake In The Eagles Shadow (1978)
Chien (played by Jackie Chan), an orphan adopted by a kung-fu school, is overworked as their janitor and abused by the kung fu teachers as a walking punching-bag. Chien befriends an old beggar (Yuen Siu Tien) by offering him a meal and a place to stay. Unknown to Chien, the old beggar is actually the last surviving master of the Snake-style of kung fu. The old man is on the run from the Eagle Claw clan, which is viciously killing off all of the rival Snake-style kung fu masters. Seeing that Chien is being abused, the old man teaches Chien the art of snake style which enables one to avoid an opponent's attacks.

Machine guns are of no avail against his lightning-quick hands and feet. The film, directed by Robert Clouse (ENTER THE DRAGON), marks Chan's first starring role in an American production.
Fearless Hyena

He keeps getting into fights, even though his grandfather warns him not to show their Kong-Fu to others. Jackie, though, is tempted by some thugs he beat up to act as the master of a Kong-Fu school. This school's name apparently spreads far, as an old enemy of Jackie's grandfather (who turns out to be the master of an old gang or something equally obscure) shows up and kills him.

Shaolin Wooden Men
Jackie witnesses his father's death by the skilled hands of a martial arts master with an unknown killing technique.

After befriending a variety of shaolin masters, each of whom teach Jackie a particular style of kung fu (drunken, killing, slippery snake, etc.), Jackie suddenly finds himself good enough to go give the beats to the 100 "wooden men" whom all shaolin (in this flick anyways) have to beat to get the funky haircut. Jackie then proceeds to go around laying the beats on everyone, but shows his humility and compassion at the end.
Amour Of God 2
Armour of God II: Operation Condor (Chinese: 飛鷹計劃) is a 1991 Hong Kong martial arts-action film, directed by and starring Jackie Chan. It is the sequel to his hit Armour of God. It was produced by Golden Harvest / Paragon Films. It was filmed primarily in Madrid, Spain and Morocco.
This film is even more akin to Indiana Jones than Armour of God, in that it features Chan's character Condor ("Asian Hawk" in the US release) battling against a former Nazi to retrieve gold from an abandoned base deep in the Sahara Desert. In one scene, Jackie escapes his persecutors in a zorb-like sphere.
City Hunter 1993

Two young students of a drunken master fight against an evil kung fu master and gang. Evil kung fu master had previously lost to the students' master. The movie is a set up for the incredibly long fight scene at the end of the movie. Written by David Ukrainetz {dairydd@sk.sympatico.ca}

Police Story 3
Police Story 3: Super Cop (traditional Chinese: 警察故事３超級警察; Cantonese Yale: Jing cha gu shi III: Chao ji jing cha), also known as Super Cop in North America, is a 1992 Hong Kong action-comedy film starring Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh. Jackie reprises his "Kevin" Chan Ka-Kui character, a Hong Kong cop from Police Story and Police Story 2. It is the first in the series not to be directed by Jackie, with Stanley Tong taking over the helm. It is also the last appearance in the series for Maggie Cheung as Jackie's girlfriend, May. Another significant aspect of this film is that it was the first Jackie Chan film from Hong Kong to use sync sound, allowing all the actors' voices to be recorded as they spoke on scene, rather than dubbed over by different actors later.
Police Story
Kevin Chan (aka Jackie) is a Hong-Kong cop, who scores his first big hit by virtually single-handedly capturing and arresting a big drug- lord.
