JACKIE CHAN vs RON SMOORENBURG - WHO AM I ? - FINAL FIGHT - ROOFTOP - HD - ROTTERDAM
www.imdb.com/name/nm0810653/
Dear martial arts fans and movie fans, in 1997 my dream came true when I was discovered by Jackie Chan to do the final fight in his movie 'Who am I ?' filmed on top of the Nedloyd Building in Rotterdam, Its a very controversial fight scene as besides the story of someone coming out of nowhere to fight Jackie Chan and made his dream happen, there's a documentary how difficult is was for me to keep up the timing with Jackie. -- I'm going to do a full breakdown of this event on the Vikingsamurai channel and here later as things not always are as people think. in short, to fight Jackie in a first movie ever is like doing a grand prix race after a few driving lessons.
The good thing is out of all of this, I had to restart my career and build from -0 , and my goal was to fight as much action stars as possible, never to let anything like this happen again. The underdog position kept the fire for all the years and this way I can help anyone who dreams of a career in the action movie business.. And that's what I do. let No ONE take away your dream or uncreate you - its like taking your life away ! Thats why I always say
Life is Action !
I created my own fighting style called RECHARGE and its getting more and more known and popular these days so Im vrey thankful. Life is literally to recharge yourself and channel all energiet to the right directions and in combination with knowing your purpose this van be very powerful,.
Greetings
Ron Smoorenburg

90s action movies was special, something that modern day action movies cant replicate
Music was better as well. The early 2000's had great tv shows up until now. Now they suck ass.
Me and my dad used to watch this fight on repeat when i was very young. I was amazed by the creative choreography done in this fight sequence. My father absolutely loves this fight thanks Who Am I team for this amazing movie
thank you , yes his team is super creative an on the spot also they got really good stuntteam members
Yes 3rd person
Concordo é uma das melhores lutas dele. Mas eu para mim, as lutas dos filme Detonando em Barcelona e Dragões Para Sempre ( Jackie Chan vs Benny Urquidez ) São as duas Melhores lutas do ator Jackie Chan, e um das melhores lutas incluindo todos os filmes e todos os atores de Artes marciais.

Honestly, after re watching this movie and this fight scene after years, this still is hands down one of the best movie fights ever choreographed. Everything and everyone was in sync. Props to you, to Jackie and to everyone involved in making this masterpiece.
Thank you so much this is a big honor

The part after this fight where jackie jumps off that building is even crazier and very well choreographed honestly. The background music is great too
Бой с Бенни Уркидесом в закусочной на колесах лучше
Это же монтаж. Нарезка дублей. Смотрела интервью, где Джеки Чан был недоволен работой с этим человеком и хотел заменить навязанного актера.. на Брэдли Аллана.
Only two things need to be said about this scene! 1. An epic and truly memorable fight sequence. 2. Re-watching, even my shins started to ache! I share a birthday with Jackie Chan, 7th April! :D
Nice. You must also be pretty smart since G is the 7th letter and Genius starts with G. I share the trait with Jackie of being born year of the horse. I guess you could say that I'm the Jackie Chan of dishwashing.
I am indeed, well interpreted!! :D Also, congrats! To be considered the Jackie Chan of anything is indeed honourable and praiseworthy! :D
Aries People 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤴🤴.
1% film tricks 1% choreography 98% real stunts Thats why its still looks epic after all these years. Put this up against movies of today and it still holds up. Amazing work
movies nowdays, its hard to get motivated, we are here to make new movies with the old motivation fo the 80 and 90s. it will happen
More like 100% Sanji 😂
1% choreography? Really?
Ron himself!? I remember how hard Jackie was on you! his standards were so high, but you did great and one of my favorite fight scenes of all time!
Thank you so much !
@@RonSmoorenburg-LIfeisaction no, thank you!
This was an insane fight, nothing compares! All the best and thanks for contributing to the world of entertainment. This is how it's done. I'd never forget his.
I've watched this fight scene tons of time since it came out in 98. I watched Jackie Chan's films religiously almost every weekend in Lima, Perú. The set up for Ron as a big boss is flawless with that leg stretch as the camera is panning out. Seconds later he throws off a flying kick followed by a dragons tail to the opposite direction to open up the fight!!!! That is VIDEOGAME STATUS. I've been in awe w that move since i was 12 and now my kids are too. My 3 year old just asked me "can we please watch the rooftop fight?"... I put it on... And then he starts shouting and throwing kicks! This still is probably one of the best (if not the best) fight in the history of movies.
I Love Jackie Chan, Brad Allen and Andy Cheng but I really am in awe of Ron Smoorenberg in this fight scene. I find it absolutely incredible that this is his first on screen fight and how well he does keeping up with the rhythm and adapting to Jackie's style, that in itself is an incredible feat, Way to absolutely rise to the occasion on Ron's part. You can really see how phenomenal his talents are all round. Those kicks are absolutely stunning, I remember when this came out on VHS in the 90s and just rewinding and watching this fight again and again and again. I think this is an absolute classic and is one of the best 90s Hong Kong fights scenes.
RIP Brad Allen
This counts among the most interesting fight scenes in my list. I have watchhedd this a countless number of times. Never get tired or bored watching it again n again. Would love to see you ffight Jackie again in a movie atleast one more time.
That woudl be great, I wish Jackie would do these long fight scenes again !
Yooooo i had this on vhs and rumble in the bronx. Both had amazing fight scenes and had me watchin with pure joy. Always was a fan of Jackie. Yall did amazing here.
🎉😂❤😢😅
My favorite Jackie Chan fight scene from since I was a kid and still my favorite. I've watched this a million and more times. Just love it, it's a classic that's timeless.
😂
yes!! this and thunderbolt are my fav jackie chan movies!

Always will be one of my favorite scenes. Amazing leg work and footwork
One of my favorite movies when i was young That rooftop fight is still amazing! Very nice kicks Ron 🤘
thank you so much
What a great fight scene. I loved these late 90s Hong Kong movies. Their action was and is different. Good work, Ron!
This film reminds me of my childhood when I watched it with my father, I wish my father a long life❤❤❤
my father took me to see drunken master 2, may he rest in peace.
I always liked the combination of one expert in punches and the other in kicks. Also in the story it seemed that they were so good that they didn't take their opponents seriously and saw them just as practice dummies until they fight with Jackie MF Chan. Awesome movie 👍
I haven't seen this video since the day it came out. I couldn't be happier to see how many millions of views it has now!😮🎉 Congrats on reaching so many action fans!
Thank you Im really surprised by the amount of Daily views ! Im so lucky to have fought Jackie Chan in his younger years
I was watching the movie and my niece left the room saying Uncle watching those old Chinese movies again. 😂😂 Like damn I'm old now
The wobbly legs at the end😅😂😂. I love this movie since i was young
Jackie was the real goku
Facts
@@jacobsargent1020just call em a couple of androids.. 😂

No Goku was the real Jackie
@@MVN05 that what i want to say 😅
Dit was een geweldige film. En wat een eind gevecht ben nog heel vaak voorbij dat gebouw gekomen toen in in Rotterdam werkte.
This is a boss fight in a movie, first one, then the other, and lastly both at the same time, excellent fight scene.
Epic fight!!! Brilliant choreography. The accuracy and timings of the techniques/stunts is superb.
Genial, con la voz de doblaje del Colombiano Oscar Javier Cuesta como Jackie Chan y Armando Duque como Ron Smerczak, Buen combate.
This is one of my favorite fight scenes of all time. Caught it flipping channels on night when I was younger. And its not just Jackie for me. Hes not my favorite movie martial artist. Just found your channel after watching this fight. I just want to say thank you for a very memorable fight scene. I do the leg rotating stretch thing still to this day.
Hi, Ron. When I watched this awesome movie for the first time, I was so impressed by your form and style that I wanted to mimic you. So I enrolled in Martial Arts after that, but didn't come close to what you were capable of. Still, my kicks were the best in class so that made me happy. Thank you for inspiring me, Ron.
I had the chance to play in background, but had school exams, but this one of my favourite scenes, and loved the style of Ron, that made join Teakwando after seeing this
Great stunts and choreography. Mad respect, this is you with Jackie Chan.
La mejor escena de pelea de todos los tiempos...una obra de arte!!
The fight between these three was one of the best fight scenes I've seen. The whole premise of Who Am I was comical as well. One of my favorite Jackie Chan Movies.
Ron, you are a legend, my friend. I loved Fighting Fish. I have the best memories watching Who Am I? showing the fight scenes to my mother when I was a teenager
thank you so much
The best thing about Jackie from the 80s on is how messy his fights are. Not like IP man movies now. The way he and his team choreographed these fights made them look almost like a real street brawl. These guys are swinging what looks like wild punches. Hooks. Jabs....everything. The choreography is just incredible.
Honestly everyone is so skillful in this scene!
Great fight scene, I remembered watching this movie all the time when I was younger. I was hoping to see you in more HK movies but overall wish you more success.
It was exceptionally cool to see how emphatic J.C. was regarding everything behind the scenes. It was also cool to see BJA (R.I.P.) and other members of the JCST filling in for shots to make everything happen. Everyone keeps learning every single day. At least... I hope. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
This was definitely one of my favourite childhood fight scene , great to see you active now! Always wondered where were all the talented stuntman at!
Thanks thats really great to hear

5:13 I love that jackie chan always fighting like this in some of his movies.
Most memorable kick sequence I've ever seen in a martial arts film
Agreed. Ron takes the cake with his flexibility, speed and fluidity, plus the long levers. Then i would say Ken Lo in Drunken Master 2 was another awesome kicking display.
This was such an iconic fight scene for me as a kid and it's good to find out the man behind all that amazing footwork!!!
Thank you ❤️

My god, man. It's no wonder Jackie wanted you to do this scene. Your kicks were absolutely beautiful here. Seriously insane technique! My dream is still to do fight scenes. This video is just one of the many I'm going through tonight while I dream more.
Thank you so much , its cool to create fight scenes
This must have taken many,many hours to perfect. And it's pulled off flawlessly.
Increible escena amigo.. una de las peliculas q ha quedado por décadas en la memoria colectiva..un clásico de las artes marciales. Gracias x los recuerdos // amazing scene my friend.. one of the movies that have been in people's memories for decades. Definitely a martial art's classic. Thanks for the memories. Cheers from Chile.
Um éc
i love him with all my heart
Attori ed atleti sublimi, da ragazzino cercavo di imitare il cattivo, che cattivo non era, erano soltanto dei grandissimi campioni di arti marziali, Grazie per aver contribuito a pellicole così belle. Buona vita 💪🏻❤💯👍🏻
Exist a before and a after in the history of the martial arts in general, not only in MM.AA. movies, because this scene. See that inner fire, is contagious
И
The scene shotes were superb. Loved Ron's Introduction.
I remember watching this scene the for first time, I was in absolute AWE of your footwork and your ability to attack AND defend almost entirely with your feet. Absolutely ICONIC..... Edit: I just wanted to add, taking off the jacket and tie was comedy GOLD hahahaha
Actually it were 2 guys playing the dude in the black tuxedo, because Jacky was not fully satisfied with Ron.

The Big Brawl/Battle Creek Brawl (circa 1980ish) was my first time seeing a Jackie Chan movie... it was a great movie!
Te vi en esa película siendo yo muy pequeño! Una pelea épica y ahora te encuentro aquí 😮 que gusto😊, gracias por esas grandes escenas junto al gran Jackie Chan🙏 saludos desde Argentina.
Thank you so much
Jackie chan es el mejor
Ron, absoluut de beste Nederlandse vecht acteur die we ooit hebben gezien! De stijl, de lenigheid, de uitvoering is een level die vele van ons van dromen, maar helaas blijft het voor ons ook een "droom". Klasse.
IK heb goed nieuws 6 Januarie 2024 hebben we een movie fighting workshop + een movie fighting gala - in Nederland (houten of Utrecht) en dat wordt een groot event waarin mensen filmvechten kunen leren in combinatie met recharge - het 2e deel van de middag gaan de deelnemers het uitvoeren met speciale belichting , rook, laser fx, etc, een show, waar ook tv bij komt etc. daarnaast een paar demo teams die met een eigen filmgevecht voor een andere titel strijden. Ook zal mijn manager/agent daar aanwezig zijn en onze beste fotograaf om portfolio fotos te maken voor mensen die dat willen. En we proberen een andere acteur te laten komen die ook het eea gaat doen
What an incredible performance this was
One Of My Favorite Movies 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦 That Movie ( Who Am I ) Furst Time I Saw It I Was Only 5 Years And I Really Enjoyed It A Lot , I Greet All The film Crew 🎥 For Playing That Movie , I Greet All The Audiences And All The Comments Readers From Egypt, Have A Wonderful And Beautiful Day .
This is still in my favorite top ten fight scenes of all time. You played the perfect villain and brought the humor out leading up to your sequence so perfectly. I am glad to see you on KZhead.
😊 Thank you SUperspitt81 !!! - and be in the top 10 is a huge honor
@@RonSmoorenburg-LIfeisaction Hi broo
its all pull backs dude

Top ten!!Bruce Lee,Jackie Chan,Jet li and Ron. Beautifull fight!! Im Brazilian.
I remember sitting in front of my TV pausing the movie on a very specific moment, thinking : who is that cool dude with that high kick stance holding the jacket with his feet up in the air. I always wanted to see more of him and now I can :) keep going Ron 💪😎
Rip. My. Idol. Thanks u are. In. Heaven. God. Bless. Nice. All. Ur. Picture. God is. In. You. And rest. Of Ur family😊
I remember seeing this movie on HBO a lot on tv as a kid. Especially this fight scene, it was cool what y’all did in this movie.
Thanks a lot, hard work and very detailed,
After many nights of "Midnight Kung Fu Theater" when in the Army, and having seen most of Jackie's movies, this fight between him and Ron here is one of my all time favorite fights. I have Who Am I on DVD and have watched just this fight so many times and yet I still can't help but be blown away by the choreography. I was in American TKD when I was in the Army but deployments and the injury of my back prevented me from going beyond Yellow belt. Herniated disks really reduced ones ability to twist and kick, and I hate it.
That leg kicks from mister smoorenburg pretty much impressive. Great movie 👍👍👍👍👍
Remember seeing this scene when I was a kid, was very impressed by your kicking technique and it inspired me to work hard under my high kicks. Thank you for these memories, Ron. Wish a lot of long and happy days for you and your family!
Thank you so much, all the best to you and your family, Life Is Action
How the way kick like that
@@iwanagustinusong3506 it's 3 things, flexibility, leg holding and explosive power, speed in the kick, if 1 element is missing the kick isn't good
i love him with all my heart
Nice
The best fight hand to hand combat in history of film
i liked drunken master 2 best
This was the best fighting scene i had scene in a movie. I loved Ron's kicks so much that i recorded this scene on VHS 😅. Would watch it all the time.
such a great honor, thank you so much !
Fantastic moves by three people
This was my favorite martial arts movie growing up. A lot of unique choreography in this rooftop scene. I also trained a year with a doublejointed martial artist and while it's not as much of an advantage as you might initially think it does change the way you have to approach a lot of techniques.
Você foi incrível! Um abraço de um querido fã brasileiro que viu sua luta aos 8 anos de idade
Que luta doida e incrível sempre luta sem dublê parabéns
Mi héroe y ídolo Jackie Chan
For one of Jackie Chan's best fight scenes of all time, I found it amusing that as far as the story went, these guys were two random henchmen (with incredible skill) that appear at the very end 😅. Ron Smoorenburg was downright amazing in this scene!
6:18 Took a fall and used it to his advantage to trip the other guy before getting up. Now that's some quick thinking, lol.
Your work with Brandon Li brought me here. Great work! Nice to be introduced to you. Great talent. Bravo.
I seem to have seen a clip of an interview at that time (or maybe a documentary), and Jackie Chan seemed to have difficulty communicating with you on some stunts because of language problems. He was in a hurry, and it made people laugh. At the same time, many people are surprised that your leg work is so good and fast. At that time, I thought Europeans and Americans only knew boxing (lmao). I didn't expect to meet you on youtube today, so excited. Thank you for the wonderful performance and wish you a more wonderful life. love from a chinese fan.
kzhead.info/sun/gZ2GdMujjot3rYE/bejne.html in this interview we speak in depth about it - Fighting Jackie is A challenge but best teacher ever
One of Jackie's best fight performances ever.
Agreed
I rememger watching that as a kid. It was on the loop all day long (the movie).
thats so cool !
Your legwork is fantastic, Ron. I never really appreciated what taekwondo could do with the right fighter. I mean, i always knew that the right fighter could be effective even if your style is mostly kicks, but I always saw it as a weakness/liability. Then I saw you and a couple of other guys who do mostly kicks and I realized I was wrong. You're great. I'm a 2nd degree black sash in Northern Longfist, a 1st dan black belt in Shotokan, and a 2nd kyu (2 belts below black) in Aikido. I just started Wing Chun which is mostly hands but I'm thinking once I get the hang of Wing Chun, I may start Taekwondo to work on my legwork. Great job in your films.
wow...thats a kick!I like this 2 martial artist❤
Hi Ron, I finally got into the stunt industry at the start of the year and I find you and your story incredibly inspiring. Jackie Chan was one of the reasons I got into martial arts as a child also. Mad respect and appreciation for you 💪
Yes me too I saw the young master which was very cool, the journey in the movie and the end fight , the opponent kicker hapkido master. btw Alex... on my channel I have a lot of motivational videos about the movie business I can recommend you to check it and see if theres a topic you interested in. I have for example a topic on how to do on set, which seems logic but theres still a lot to it.. I hope its useful for you

I had the pleasure to meet Ron recently, so I went back to see this once again. Impressive! 💯💥
To everyone whose gonna watch in 2090 this was the movie we use to put on repeat in Africa 🇿🇲 ❤️
GOATED comment hope someone replies in 2090
I loved this movie and I loved the moves Ron smoreenburg hope u get bigger roles soon ❤️
thank you and yes this is happening also I made RECHARGE a fighting style
It weird I was literally thinking about this fight scene the other day and here KZhead has this pop up in my feed. Outstanding work in this!
I dont why but Who am I? and Rumble in the Bronx are the only 2 Jackie Chan movies always playing or that I could remember so now theyre my favorites.
Fantastic kicks ! One of my favorite fighting choreographies.
Jackie Chan is a genius. His rhythm & timing & and bravery are unmatched.
Well I love Jackie Chan because he's a good actor and a good fighter in lots of movies and he is a badass person In the movies so I love him ❤
Uno de los mejores actores de acción de la historia 😢. Están si eran películas de acción y comedia
Best fight screen ever.
I model my life after this fight scene. Thank you Ron. I would love to see a video on how u achieved these amazing stretches. And how u prepared. I'm going thru ur videos but u have alot of videos lol hope u read this.
Definitely I read thism thank you for the message Im jsut editing a cool behind the scenes about life here in Thailand and how we train daily and do things - I just got domething in mind to create a video about the 5 best exercises for good kicks. (including flexibility)
One of my favorite fights in movie history
Such an amazing scene! Looking fwd to getting our Full Breakdown video out!
Yes I look forward to this It might shock a few people
Lets do it as I said in this video kzhead.info/sun/lap6qtiKiIZra4E/bejne.html I died already in the Biz and can't die twice... I'm free, and dont care abt the 'collegues' who know exactly what the deal is.. but never speak out.... In this freedom and feeling we cant fail anymore..

@@RonSmoorenburg-LIfeisaction~
the conclusion is: don't underestimate the enemy and relied too heavily on style, that's why they lost. 😂😂
Love watching you take off your jacket and tie as you realize "Oh he can use that shit" lmao
I saw the making of this film and I recall Jackie Chan stating a stunt double had to be used at times for your character due to You not being able to keep up with him while filming the iconic fight scene. You still did an excellent job though and it is one of my favorite fight scenes to date. Well done bro 💪
This is legit action🎬 comedy!❤
いろんな格闘マンガがジャッキー要素を取り入れているのが納得の凄まじい高速アクションです🎉
RON SMOORENBURG, nice to see you here, after so many years of watching this fantastic fight with our dear Jackie Chan, congratulations Ron for participating!
"What's your proffession?" "I moan to jackie chan movies"
Super Super Jackie CHAn we l luv U I l pray 4 U pray 4 him.....Super Super
Aku ingat tahun 1999 mnontonnya 2 kali dlm sehari dbioskop yg sama. Keren
Haha....drunken master waktu itu saya nonton 5 kali di bioskop, tapi dalam waktu 1-2 tahun
love the dude in the background taking off the articles of clothing jackie is using against his friend XD, takes off this jacket... then when Jackie starts using the tie against him he takes that off. XD
Помню как вчера. Не видел более впечатляющей сцены!
