Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster (2000). Play online

Summary

Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster captures the chaotic energy of a Jackie Chan film, thanks to motion‑captured moves recorded by the star himself. Radical Entertainment consulted the actor throughout development, even getting his voice work to keep the action feeling authentic. The game throws you into 15 fully 3D New York City locales, each littered with improv weapons like chairs, brooms, and break‑away objects that fuel the combo‑driven fighting system.

I love hunting down the hidden golden dragons; collect them all and a secret video plays where Jackie shares behind‑the‑scenes motion‑capture footage and talks about the game. Boss encounters are hefty, and the level design encourages creative platforming alongside punch‑and‑kick battles. Despite these ideas, reviewers at the time found the title average—GameSpot and GamePro gave it modest praise, while NextGen lamented that even a legend deserved a more inventive beat‑'em‑up.

Showcased at E3 1999, the game landed on PlayStation through Midway in North America and Sony in Europe, carving a quirky niche for fans looking for a cinematic arcade experience.
