Jackie is a stuntman, he's supposed to being doing that nutty crap. I vote for Irwin.

i dont see anybody forcing JC do all that stuff. you are a stuntman becuase of the stuff you are willing to do, not the other way around.

At first I thought Steve Irwin. Then I thought about all the Jackie Chan stunts and outtakes and I've got to say I believe Jackie Chan is the overall winnah. For some reason, I also think it's more likely that JC could / would do what SI does than vice versa.

Both are great fun to watch! :D

Good poll!

Chan all the way! Does his own stunts...is in shape to do his own stunts...keeps doing his own stunts.
Irwin...sucks...is STUPID...his stunts are "controlled" and will most likely end up done soon.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Too close to call. Different types of brave stupidity involved.


Jackie Chan comes inches from shaving his balls off with a power saw, Steve Irwin stick his arm in a croc's arse. I can't decide.




Of course, if Jackie had failed that power saw stunt, I think we'd know who was "ballsier".

They are both pretty damned ballsy, different areas of calculated and educated risk. I'm pretty sure that Irwin wouldn't try some of the stuff Chan does and Chan wouldn't try some of the stuff Irwin does.

But if you go strictly by their history of injuries as a measure of their ballsiness, then Chan wins hands down. Irwin has wrenched his knee a few times, has been bruised, battered, slashed, and stitched up more than you can shake a stick at, but Chan has that plus broken like every other bone in his body, including his back and his skull.

You guys need to read this Stuff magazine interview with Steve Irwin...its hilarious. Here's a tidbit:

Stuff: There are Crocodile Hunter dollls everywhere. Do you like them?
Irwin: Oh, mate, I absolute love 'em. But people do weird things with them.
Stuff: Like what?
Irwin: Oh they take [my wife] Terri's pants off and get my head down there and go "Have a look at this little beauty."

July 2002 issue, page 44 :)

Jacky Chan all da way eh! :D And no, its not just because I'm asian! Well, maybe just a little :p
But yeah, just look at the Jacky Chan outtakes and you'll know why. The fellow's very persistent, knows of the risks, and takes them for the sake of entertainment.

I bet some of you guys don't know he's also a singer too! Not sure how well accepted though in HK, as far as his singing ability goes.

BTW, one more thing. 10 or so yrs ago, Jacky didn't make it big in Hollywood. But now he's a household name in America. Why now??

None of Jackies movies centered around traveling the globe to find and handle the 10 most venomous snakes.

and none of the croc hunter's episodes centered around dangling from a helicopter a few hundred feet in the air... what's your point? you only have balls if you handle snakes?

white folks are slow like that :p

i dunno, it probably just took his career a little time to get big enough for hollywood to pay attention.
