John Wick is already kind of a Jackie Chan-style movie, but with guns. The lack of cuts during action scenes, the meticulous choreography of the fight scenes, the heroism mythology present in the movies.

You know how Jackie Chan complains that Hollywood doesn't know how to make great martial arts movies because of how they shoot scenes? Well it seems the John Wick directors adhere to his philosophy. They could even make the movie a big homage to Chinese kung fu movies, just like how John Wick was an homage to the silent films american films of the 20s and 30s.

I think Jackie Chan is due for a comeback in the West, and the John Wick directors should get on that before he gets too old for it.

He's too busy singing Adele

 

[Kolibri]

Chan is way too old and broken.

 

[Sheroking]

Dude is 63 years old.

Those days may be behind him.

 

[friskykillface]

Let Jackie rest, the 🐐 will get seriously injured if he did a movie like that.

 

[Skulldead]

Change Jackie, put Donny yen or the raid guy, even tony jaa (that rescue his career with Killzone 2)

But it will not happen...

 

[AuthenticM]

They can get stunt doubles for Chan. It's fine.

 

[AllGamer]

Before he gets too old? He's already too old. They could use Iko Uwais, though.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Only if its Rush Hour 4

 

[Lifeline]

John Wick: The Raid

Team up the directors from both movies.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

No, they need to do a movie with Chow Yun Fat and/or Tony Leung.

 

[dezzy8]

I'd rather them use Donnie Yen, or some younger actor. Jackie Chan is way too old.

 

[The Main Event]

Dude is 63 years old.

Indeed.

Donnie Yen however...

 

[Sojgat]

No, they need to do a movie with Chow Yun Fat and/or Tony Leung.

I'd watch that.

 

[Goofalo]

2 hours of Jackie Chan death defyingly sucking up to the Beijing government and chiding young people for wanting more freedom of speech.

 

[Foggy]

Jackie's old and busted.

Let them run wild with Wu Jing or a fresh face.

 

[Youngfossil]

I Miss young Jackie Chan. Not only was the fighting scenes and action great, a lot were dont all in one shot. He somehow made fighting both exciting and funny. No one around is only his level at his peak.

 

[HStallion]

They should do it with a younger actor like Iko Uwais or even Donnie Yen who isn't a spring chicken but still kicking ass.

 

[FrontalMonk]

He's too busy singing Adele

I had to make a conscious effort to close my jaw. Wow.

 

[Kaladin]

Just watch Yun-Fat Chow in Hard Boiled instead.

 

[Sir Doom]

Your nostalgia is clouding your judgement. Jackie is too old

 

[lightskintwin]

Chad Stahelski, the co director of John Wick and the director of John Wick 2, is directing Triple Threat starring Tony Jaa, Tiger Chen, and Iko Uwais.

I think we're good.

 

[jetjevons]

They can get stunt doubles for Chan. It's fine.

That'll be a cold day in hell.

 

[H.Cornerstone]

They should have been the showrunners/directors for Iron Fist.

 

[Stitch]

That'll be a cold day in hell.

He already had stunt doubles so it wouldn't be anything new.
