Okay, I'm running out of ideas of what movie I'm going to choose next on my Netflix queue. All I know is that I feel like watching one of Jackie Chan's earlier movies. I've seen Shanghai Noon (very good) and the Rush Hour movies (I was mixed about those), so I want to see something from before then. The one movie I'm leaning towards is Police Story (1985). Does anyone have any other suggestions about an older Jackie Chan movie? Or if you do not like my idea, anyone got any reason why I should just change what I should be choosing?

I remember a Jackie Chan movie about the martial art called "Drunken Fist". It was funny as hell, but I don't remember the name.... :(
came in here to recommend this, it's called "The Legend of Drunken Master"

My favorite Jackie Chan movie is easily Rumble in the Bronx. Close to being one of my favorite movies. But you can't go wrong with anything he was in. Back then, he did all his own stunts with no special effects of ANY kind. So if you saw him dangling from a helicopter and holding on for dear life as they slam him into billboard and buildings, it's because they actually did exactly that, with no green screen or proportion effects or anything.
It's not a Jackie Chan movie, but Kung Fu Hustle is a great kung fu/comedy movie that plays like Wuxia meets Looney Toons. I'd highly recommend it, even if you decide to see someone else's suggestion first.
I actually did see The Legend of the Drunken Master. It was very entertaining. Actually, I was thinking back to when I saw that movie, which caused me to go and make this thread.
