According to Quentin Tarantino, this action film with Jackie Chan contains “the best waterfalls ever filmed!”

A great lover of Asian action cinema, Quentin Tarantino has never hidden his love for the films of the Shaw Brothers or the productions of Jackie Chan. The famous director also claims these prestigious influences in his diptych Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2.

The best cinema cascades?

In an interview published on the YouTube channel Quentin Tarantino Universethe director praised a work made by Jackie Chan in 1992: Story 3 police: Supercop. “This film is directed by Stanley Tong And contains the best waterfalls ever filmed in the cinema! Even including Buster Keaton“”says Tarantino.

This film is directed by Stanley Tong and contains the best waterfalls ever filmed in the cinema! Even including Buster Keaton.

“Do not look any further than Michelle Yeoh jumping on a train launched at full speed “he concludes. Indeed, Supercop is one of the most striking works by Jackie Chan and her duet with Michelle Yeoh is explosive. Questioned by Entertainment Weekly In 2022, the actress revealed that she almost lost her life during a waterfall.

In a scene, she had to jump from the roof of a truck on the car driven by Jackie Chan. “The windshield was supposed to break, which would have allowed me to take a break. But it was not broken, I had nothing to hang on, and I stopped sliding the car”explains Michelle Yeoh.

“All that I remember is a 'boom' on the ground. Fortunately, I did not fall first. Then, I hear Jackie. He said: Ok, that's enough! We stop for today! We don't continue! It's stupid! It's ridiculous! We stop!”said the actress.

Jackie plays with her life

At that time, Jackie Chan launched himself headlong into completely crazy and potentially fatal waterfalls. After the first two components released in 1985 and 1988, Jackie therefore put the cover as a breaker police in Supercop, the most spectacular episode of the Story Police saga.

The film contains many pieces of bravery, but the helicopter waterfall is surely the most dizzying and the most perilous! Jackie Chan is not afraid to admit, he is always afraid when he embarks on a dangerous waterfall! But on this scene, he was even more terrified, because he much thought back to his fall in Mister Dynamite, and that was paralyzed. During the shooting of this film, he went to the verge of death after a fracture of the skull.

However, he did not decide against this immense challenge! Especially since the press and dozens of curious people had gathered in the street to see and film the waterfall. And Jackie Chan requires, no green background or special effects, everything is 100% real! Perched on the roof of a building in Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia, the actor starts to run before leaping to hang on a scale connected to a helicopter!

Stroll through the air

Like Jean-Paul Belmondo in Guignolo, Jackie then goes on a walk in the air, gripping on this small scale, without any security! An error and the actor could let go and be rushed into the void!

To add chili, the artist takes some obstacles on the road! Finally, staying just hanging on a scale under a helicopter, may be too simple for this crazy Jackie Chan! Everything went very well very well and the sequence was able to be boxed with brilliance.

If you have not seen the Story Police saga, we strongly recommend it, and of course, Supercop remains the most impressive opus in the saga, and Tarantino obviously seems to agree with that!
