Index Of Jackie Chan Movies Better
More guns, glass, and broken bones
For the audience that values Jackie Chan qua Jackie Chan—the human crash-test dummy and spatial comedian—the "better" index is not the one with the highest budget or best reviews, but the one with the most stunts per minute, longest takes, and most visible scars. This paper proposes the JCI as a replicable, transparent metric. A full interactive database would allow fans to rank any Chan film by their own weighted preferences (e.g., prioritizing injuries over choreography). Ultimately, the search for a "better index" reveals that the best Jackie Chan movie is the one where you fear for his life the most.
