If people didn't use wires then they would get into lawsuits left and right, Jackie Chan can do whatever he wants because he owns his own stunt crew, which works on all his films, because no stunt team would work with him, because Jackie Chan can't be get insurance in the US, due to the number of injuries he suffered in his life. All modern and contemporary movies use wires because A) it allows for better choreography and more sensual action and B) They are obligated by law to do so for safety reasons. Classical martial arts movies (like those with Bruce Lee) died after the 80's. Donnie Yen, makes good movies.don't get me wrong but I'm more impressed by Jackie Chan's process.Дonnie Yen didn't use any wires in his 80's movies either, but that has to do more with the change in cinema than personal preferences. The point I was making between Yen & Chan in regards to wires or no wires is i've seen amazing things from Jackie Chan in films that were real, he really did them with alot of risk. I assumed that when you said that, that you were confusing story with action because that's the only way 'no moving following real life events to a T' correlates. If you are talking about his classic 70's and 80's movies, then I would agree with you. Have you seen the movies Jackie Chan has made in like the last five years? They are far from real. Donnie Yen, makes good movies.don't get me wrong but I'm more impressed by Jackie Chan's of the Jackie Chan films i've seen I don't remember alot of 'impossible moves' just fight choreo & stunts, unless it was a film with an unrealistic premise like Forbidden Kingdom.

We don't know what Ip Man did during the Japanese occupation of China or during his life in Hong Kong. Hell, he's only famous because he's Bruce Lee's teacher. Just to put it out there, no one knows what the real life Ip Man done during his life before meeting Bruce Lee. They are way too old for that kind of intense movements. Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, and Chow Yun-Fat are all in their 50s and they can't realistically do anything you see in any of their recent movies. So I'm going to counter this by saying that the majority of martial arts actors (at least in Chinese films) use wires because their old. Now you are bringing up an entirely new premise to the table.

I counter by saying that no movie follows real life events to a T. Your initial point was that Donnie Yen was using wires in Ip Man and that is bad because the movie is based off a real life person and events. Jackie Chan does this too, I fail to see where the difference lies? I'm not talking about exaggerating the story, I'm talking exaggerating movement and what the actor is actually capable of. He does indeed use wires to pull off moves that are not humanly possible, he does that quite a lot actually, as does the majority of others in Chinese martial arts movies. Well, I'm Chinese, so I can say that your view on him is pretty skewed. No wires or safety nets for alot of his movies. I have seen a documentary on his stunts though with him doing commentary about how he pulled alot of it off. Dude can put together one hell of a fight as an action director (or working with Sammo Hung as don't watch chinese reality shows. That's why Donnie is my favourite active martial arts actor. Anyway, people put too much stock in stuntwork, the choreography and action direction are more important in Kung Fu movies than crazy falls. I'd rather minimal use of wires and stuntmen if it means the audience gets a healthy actor who can do more movies now and in the future. As much as I respect Jackie for the hell he put himself through, I never have watched his movie just to see him hurt himself. Ip Man is based on true events and still had wires.ДЄnd Jackie's body is beat the hell up nowadays because of all the injuries he incurred from doing all those crazy stunts from the late 70's to the 90's. Most of his films that feature wires have unrealistic premises (Like the Tuxedo, The Medallion & Forbidden Kingdom). I'm saying it's never been how he was capable of pulling stunts off. I'm not saying that Jackie Chan NEVER used wires. You know that Jack Chan uses wires in some of his movies too right lmao?
