If he hasn't tapped, he wants the fight to continue. He's got some idea what he wants to do, even if his plan amounts to "weather the storm and hope for an opening to present itself."

Exxxxcellent. Yes, he has not quit and can still be quite dangerous from the ground.
ergo...

Most Exxxxcellent! Exactly. There have been numerous reversals or subs from gaurd. Lesner Mir 1 is a recent example.
It is a larger skill set than most "Honorable" slapdance styles incorporate, and people usually fear or dislike what they dont understand.

Like men ice-dancing??? WTF?? (watch I will get 3 ice dancers on my ass)!

I might have installed Jet Li in my thoughts because I KNOW Jet has murderized some peoples!!

I will watch some movies and PM you back if you are WRONG!

I remember in Supercop he gunned down a couple guys with a machine gun during the drug raid scene.

I think he had to shoot some guys in "Heart of Dragon" as well, but it's been a while since I've seen it.

Jackie did a RNC in the beginning of Heart Of The Dragon.

I think that if you have to look that hard for a body count for Jackie Chan it means that in general he doesn't "kill" people in his movies. Now Jet Li is all about fucking dudes up but his movies usually have more of a deeper meaning while Jackie's are more physical comedies.

It isn't hard he has done well to make people forget. People forget the movies he starred in and didn't have the control he has now.

He killed people on a level of Jet Li in the beginning of his career.

And my God, did those early movies suck? By that point Lo Wei's collaboration with Bruce Lee in Chinese Connection and Fist Of Fury were the biggest success he ever had and after Lee went on to do his own thing with Way Of The Dragon, Wei has been releasing pretty lackluster films that bombed and unfortunately Jackie was a major victim of this. In fact I don't really see Lo Wei as a "good" director.

I just watched Rush Hour, Gene Lebell appears as a taxi driver and uses a gun to control Jackie Chan, I think that says it all.

Jackie has never been a killing machine like some action stars. But he's always killed a few guys here and there in his movies. Or at least, one can assume he did when he shot them or threw them off a roof or what have you. And I'm not even talking the Lo Wei stuff. I mean like in the Police Story franchise.

What constitutes "violent?"
