I figured they had their own little plane, so they'd keep chasing him anyway.

This is an amazing movie. There's nobody like Jackie Chan. He took the baton from Buster Keaton and changed action in movies.

100%. It's really hard to find another Jackie Chan.

I didn't know what was going to happen next for a single moment.

Didn't Jackie Chan almost die making this movie?

Jackie Chan almost died in all of his early films, but yes, this was one of the closest.

Isn't that Armour of God?

Yes. That's the movie that almost killed him. He was rushing a 'simple' stunt. It was a jump from a wall to a tree, and I remember it was about 15 feet high. He jumped, missed the branch, flipped over, and landed on his head. Then he had to sit in a hospital in Hungary(?) for 24 to 48 hours waiting for brain surgery. I think it was to relieve the pressure from a hematoma. He's said in interviews that he's careful to protect that part of his head when filming fight scenes. I'm writing this from memory.
