Is Jackie Chan The Most Fearless Guy On The Planet?

[Henry Huggins]

A movie star the most fearless?

Not to insult Jackie Chan but I think real fighters are more fearless, especially these guys:

Minotauro
Wanderlei
Sakuraba

I would fight any of those dudes before doing those stunts

 

[igordog]

He should just be stuntman because he's not a very good actor and he's never been in a movie that I've been interested in watching...Just not my style of movies.

 

[Joe Rogaine]

people will dog on you for the "most fearless" bit but Jackie Chan is the motherfucking boss of stunts. Dude was basically a stuntman who was so bad ass they just gave him his own movies. Now he owns half of China

I came here to post this, Baumgartner is a brave man.

Referring to his participation in the torch relay for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Chan spoke out against demonstrators who disrupted the relay several times attempting to draw attention to a wide-ranging number of grievances against the Chinese government, including China's human rights record and the political status of Taiwan. He warned that he would lash out against anyone planning to stop him from carrying the Olympic Torch, saying, "Demonstrators better not get anywhere near me." In addition, Chan felt that the protesters were publicity seekers. "They are doing it for no reason. They just want to show off on the TV," he said. "They know, 'if I can get the torch, I can go on the TV for the world news'." Chan felt the country was trying to improve and the Olympics is a chance for the country to open up and learn from the outside world and vice versa. "We are not right about everything. Things are getting better in China but we can change and are changing. We want to learn from the rest of the world as well as teach others about our ways and our culture."[113]

On 18 April 2009, during a panel discussion at the annual Boao Forum for Asia titled "Tapping into Asia's Creative Industry Potential," Chan said "...in the 10 years after Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule, I can gradually see, I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not."[114] Chan went on to say, "If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic." He also added, "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want." Chan however complained about the quality of Chinese goods, saying, "...a Chinese TV might explode."[115] but refrained from criticising the Chinese government for banning his 2009 film Shinjuku Incident.[116] Chan's comments prompted an angry response from some legislators and other prominent figures in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Hong Kong Legislator Leung Kwok-hung said that Chan "insulted the Chinese people. Chinese people aren't pets."[117] The Hong Kong Tourism Board stated that it had received 164 comments and complaints from the public over Chan's remarks.[118] A spokesman for Chan told reporters that the actor was referring to freedom in the entertainment industry rather than Chinese society at large and that certain people with "ulterior motives deliberately misinterpreted what he said."[119]

On 24 August 2010, Chan tweeted about the botched rescue operation on the Manila hostage crisis that left 8 Hong Kong tourists dead. Although saddened by the news, he also tweeted "If they killed the guy sooner, they will say why not negotiate first? If they negotiate first, they ask why not kill the guy sooner?"[120][121][122][123] Chan's comments caused outrage in Hong Kong. Several anti-Jackie Chan groups were set up on Facebook with tens of thousands of supporters. Some fellow actors and directors told local newspapers that they were also upset by his remarks. Chan reportedly has business interests in the Philippines. He issued a statement on 27 August 2010 apologising for his comments and claiming that his assistant who helped him post the tweets had misunderstood the meaning of his original message.[124]

In December 2012, Chan caused outrage when he criticized Hong Kong as a "city of protest", suggesting that demonstrators' rights in Hong Kong should be limited.

^ Gotta be fearless to speak your mind in China.

Lol ok

You think Minotauro is less fearless than Jackie? He fought a 350 pound Bob Sapp and got slammed on his neck.

Sakuraba is certainly more fearless. He was almost always at a size disadvantage and faced some serious beatings.

You don't think those guys are fearless?

Lol ok

[Stokanator]

some would say the fear of paralysis is greater than the fear of death...

That's a good point and I would agree with that.

 

[crazyjames1233]

Jackie jumps from rooftops to rooftops with no safety devices, he jumps from buildings on to moving helicopters over cities with NO SAFTEY DEVICES. He also does them more than once to make sure its perfect.

not to mention he has been seriously hurt many times yet he still keeps going.

 

[White Mongoose]

Just read Black Hawk Down. Men like Gordon Gary, Randy Shughart, Hoot, and Macejunas ar some of the most fearless men out there.

Jackie would shit his pants and run back to the base if he was in their shoes.

Ueli Steck.



The Eiger is no joke.

There are other examples but I don't care to search for them atm. Basically anyone who is willing to into a very hostile place with lot of danger with small chance of coming out alive are extremely fearless.

Basically my premise in my earlier post. What special ops guys go through sometimes is just the definition of fearless. Having to make incredibly hard decisions in split seconds while having loads of bullets flying at you is in my opinion scarier than action stunts. (although some of them are incredibly crazy no question)

Also people who go undercover to infiltrate organized crime or overseas knowing if they get caught they'll get killed and tortured
