The famous scene wherby jackie and co form two teams who are in the final of an improvised and unique game. Its called "Jianzi" wich originated in 5th century BC in China. Still holds world record for the most number of takes needed for one scene:2900. Watch, and you will see why, great dedication by jackie and co.

  • I don't understand why this took so many takes. The only reason that I can think of would be that they didn't choreograph it or practice it before filming.

  • @hobofuture It was the final wonder goal by Jackie that took 2900 takes. He was very much a meticulous perfectionist as a director in his action scenes and would take many more takes then necesary at times, until he felt satisfied. As a result this film went way over the budget (and time) set out that the producers had Sammo Hung sharing some of the directorial control in Chan's next film, the classic "Project A".

  • god dammit it cuts off right before he nails the girl in the face!

  • @shiretsu lol yea well i left that out because that is more part of the storyline then the match itself, people who have'nt seen the film (one of jackie's more underrated classics) would be more baffled if it ended like that. However, in the context of the film itself, that part is pretty hilarious and an ingenius way of taking the storyline forward.

  • it wasn't the 2900 retake scene, it was the opening pyramid rugby sequence..

  • @103Rockistan well no, there has been dispute about this but Hong Kong cinema expert Bey Logan (who actually visited Chan at the set of the movie) confirmed that it is the shot in this scene right at the end for Chan's wonder goal that took 2900 takes.

  • the whole ten minute scene needed 2900 retakes before it was perfect

  • They had to do everything specifically, it's not just a game and they filmed it, it was probably choreographed specifically.
