I would argue it's the best duel in martial-arts movies history, it's so well choreographed, and a perfect mixture of flashy and more direct stuff... The Jet being a real, legit fighter added credibility to it of course, and Jackie Chan is incredible as usual...
The final fight in Drunken Master 2 took 4 months to film. One week is typical, but Benny is saying that it was non-stop and they basically lived on the set.
Silverforce Without a doubt. In fact both films where they fight are awesome choreography. Love both of them them as they are so humble. Actors yes but true Martial Artists, they have my respect.
in the aspect of martial arts. That true. But that just because the first 2 police story and project A dont have any the martial artist ego moment. as action movie, they are better. dont get me wrong, this great. but that 4 movies imo is JC best work
Astonishing fact about Benny "The Jet" Urquidez: He was reigning champion for 27(!) consecutive years . The longest period of being champion in all of professional sports!!Simply amazing!
Many people don’t realize this is an excerpt from a much longer interview. It appears that I cut Benny off at the end, but that was just due to editing. I drove 3 1/2 hours one way just to get this interview. Believe me, I got a lot more than five minutes!
Thank you for this wonderful interview footage and also for the clarification. I indeed thought it ended rather abruptly. Wanna see.the full interview someday. I was so Glad to find out I am not the only one who thinks the fight (Wheels on Meals) one of the best, if not the best. Mr Benny brought in something very different from what were being done by those HK martial artists and stuntmen. Sort of Jackie:Benny = Bruce: Chuck in The way of dragon. I like my friend, missed the days of Bruce Lee but grew up watching Jackie Chan and co. My top 3 from him are : Wheels on Foods, Project A, Armour of God II. We were so impressed by Mr Benny back then!!
kira chew he’s also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. About 10 years ago, when I attended a banquet for the Martial Arts History Museum, Benny came and introduced himself to me! I was speechless!
The way his eye sparkle when he talks about the stuff he did in the movie is inspiring. This dude (and Jackie) both love what they do so much and it shows in the performance. Benny is an ultimate lad
Man this woman by far one of the best interviewer I've ever seen. Patience and let people tell their story and no cut in interruption. Love it so good to watch. But it's just too short!
Jackie said in his autobiography that every day he'd poke Benny by saying: OK, let's fight for real, and Benny would always say: anytime Jackie, anytime.
You all don’t know how much this interview meant to me. I always wanted to hear what it was like, because I knew long ago that they actually fought for the scene! Hats off to both of these legendary martial art masters and my childhood martial art icons! I lived this with all my heart!
Watch, i think, episode 19 of Adkins' podcast, The Art of Action. It features Benny talking about his time with Jackie and includes Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever. It appears that Jackie left a hugely positive impression on Benny, who sings his praises.
Debbie, I'm so glad that I came across your channel. It was a honor to watch this interview with Benny The Jet Urquidez. I watched all the Jackie Chan movies as a kid in the 1980's and it was great. Thank you My first movie being The Big Brawl in 1984, I was 8 and never stopped watching Jackie Chan movies from that day on. Benny and Jackie had some of the greatest fights on film, PERIOD!! :)
That fight between Jackie and Urquidez near the end of Wheels on Meals is easily my favourite fight scene in any film. Probably my favourite Jackie Chan film, and Yuen Biao had a couple of great fights in it too. Great to see Urquidez talking about it here -- he seems like a genuinely nice guy!
batlin , the raid rama and andy vs mad dog was my favourite off all time til i seen this fight scene, you should check it out though i think you will like it
I've never seen anybody sound so thrilled to be able to take hits. God I love this guy. What a smile.Jackie Chan VHS is probably a universal childhood. This is the fight I first saw Benny in. Was a kid, couldn't pronounce his name, but "The Jet" was good enough. :D
Benny the Jet Urquidez, Ron Vanclief, Dennis Alexio, Super foot and Don the Dragon Wilson were fantastic in the ring and in the movies. OSU and respect for all of these Masters. 🙏🏼🐅🐉
Debbie you interview Benny like his on a fight set it's so fun to see champ Benny on anything either it's interview or his teaching a student God bless and keep it comin'
Showing much love & respect to the one of the greatest legend in martial arts history.Meals On Wheels is one of the best movie.He is one of the best.long live Sir Benny.thank you for the great contribution in the action movies.greetings from Philippines.😊🙏👍
Without sacrifice nothing great come out....and that is why this fight scene still surfaces on internet and generations after generations enjoy this scene...coz of the heart n soul these two guys and the entire team put in. ❤❤❤❤
That's what I was thinking. This guy has been in many fights and his hands have taken a beating as they're giving a beating. Still wouldn't fuck with Benny.
I remember watching a documentary about martial arts movies and it noted that fight scene from Wheels on Meals as the greatest fight scene ever recorded - after watching it, I had to agree it was amazing. I was always amazed how great Jackie was, but seeing Benny The Jet against him, knowing that Benny was an actual champion kickboxer, put him on another level. Yes Jackie was and is an amazing movie star and stuntman, but it always struck me that Benny is the real deal fighter! - he proved his skills in the ring - movie stars rarely do that
Exype There is a full one hour episode of this interview. One of the longest interviews I have done. You can find it at CMAC.TV-go to “On demand,” then “Series guide”, and then Martial Arts Mania. Benny was a great guest!
That was an epic fight scene! The fight scene that really stands out to me between Jackie and Benny is the one they had in Dragons Forever. As a kid, my jaw dropped seeing how tough Benny is!
I was looking for that fight scene on youtube and after I found it, this video came up on my suggested. I wanted to know what it was like on the set for Benny and Jackie Chan. What's just as exciting is finding out this was interview was filmed where I live.
The man had a solid jaw , amazing talent , a pair of wrecking balls for hands and thrown kicks as natural as a Chinese person eating with chop sticks 61 wins 59 ko’s no losses
oh man! that story was so awesome. Not to mention quite historic. The experience of being on those sets must have been something else! (not to mention his work with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao) And what a perfect pairing for the Hong Kong action movie industry as a whole (talk about perfect timing). Arguably it's finest alumni (Jackie Chan) teamed with the most stylistic/skilled kick boxer of his time ..and we all get to be lucky enough to enjoy it :)
Man you can tell benny is so excited to talk about that again, you know he really enjoyed it. I think it's funny they used a screenshot from dragons forever in this video while talking about wheels on meals. Wheels on Meals was the better choreographed fight, but Dragons Forever was so brutal and epic, those guys took a trip to the hospital for sure! Both tied for my favorite Jackie Chan films of all time.
What an awesome dude. So pleasant, and fun. Benny loves fighting in movies. I only knew him from gross point blank. Where he was the proverbial badass.
I'll never forget his kick that legitimately blew out candles.
You mean bon fires
After effects. lol
@@Leprutz it was real lmao
@@Leprutz after effects in 1975 ,sure
Ainda bem que nesse mundão aí afora tem
Jackie vs Benny in meals on wheels is one of the best jackie fights
提督Ｔｏｓｕｔｏ its one of the best fight scenes ever and best Jackie Chan fight scene hands down..
Gokul Nath its one of the best ever.. but not nr 1 Jackie fight
I've always favored the scene from Dragons Forever - ua-cam.com/video/DsUclzcY8HE/v-deo.html
But both are wicked :)
I would argue it's the best duel in martial-arts movies history, it's so well choreographed, and a perfect mixture of flashy and more direct stuff... The Jet being a real, legit fighter added credibility to it of course, and Jackie Chan is incredible as usual...
Except it's called Wheels on Meals.
He said It took about a week to film one of the most iconic fight scenes in movie history. You can't fake that type of dedication.
The final fight in Drunken Master 2 took 4 months to film. One week is typical, but Benny is saying that it was non-stop and they basically lived on the set.
@@jp3813 The final fight in _Drunken Master 2_ had many moving parts in it. Far more than _Wheels On Meals._
@@D2Kprime Because they spent four months working on it.
Many legendary scenes can take a while.
The shower scene from Psycho took 9 days! All for 40 seconds of footage.
You're stupid if you think he's bluffing
That fight scene with Jackie is THE BEST martial arts scene in cinema history. The impacts felt brutal, and the pace was lightning!
Silverforce Without a doubt. In fact both films where they fight are awesome choreography. Love both of them them as they are so humble. Actors yes but true Martial Artists, they have my respect.
Silverforce Thanks to Sammo Hung, who always makes Jackie look his best.
in the aspect of martial arts. That true. But that just because the first 2 police story and project A dont have any the martial artist ego moment. as action movie, they are better. dont get me wrong, this great. but that 4 movies imo is JC best work
It's second best and it's inspired from the greatest one, *Colosseum Climax Fight* from Way Of The Dragon
Dragons Forever is even better 👌
Astonishing fact about Benny "The Jet" Urquidez: He was reigning champion for 27(!) consecutive years . The longest period of being champion in all of professional sports!!Simply amazing!
Didn't he also retire undefeated?
@@mikekirkland2487 He lost at least one that I'm aware of... still a badass in my book!
@@mikekirkland2487 I'm pretty sure his unofficial record was 200-1-1. An astonishing achievement.
@@lonestar6709 Geese! That's amazing
No shit, wow??

@Hi I did. It’s 58 minutes long and it is posted here on UA-cam!

On behalf of the asian community and a fan of martial arts movies, Mr benny is undoubtedly a real powerhouse and that fight scene is legendary.
kira chew he’s also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. About 10 years ago, when I attended a banquet for the Martial Arts History Museum, Benny came and introduced himself to me! I was speechless!
You might want to try the Egyptians
Good Debbie, one of favourite scenes
The way his eye sparkle when he talks about the stuff he did in the movie is inspiring. This dude (and Jackie) both love what they do so much and it shows in the performance. Benny is an ultimate lad
Man this woman by far one of the best interviewer I've ever seen. Patience and let people tell their story and no cut in interruption. Love it so good to watch. But it's just too short!
Thank you. This was just an excerpt from an hour long interview which I shall upload someday when I have the time.
Right, such a treasure and it's almost unknown on UA-cam.
@@KungFuQueenie and benny is such true humble man
keep it in your heart even meeting benny is a blessing a wise sensei, and a powerfull warrior@@KungFuQueenie
I'm glad he's still looking healthy. Thanks for the upload.
Jay Grapes would like to meet him he looks like no frills kind of guy who tells it like it is
Jackie said in his autobiography that every day he'd poke Benny by saying: OK, let's fight for real, and Benny would always say: anytime Jackie, anytime.
True,Benny says the same
The jet is a real warrior. He never hit his opponent more than he had to.
You all don’t know how much this interview meant to me. I always wanted to hear what it was like, because I knew long ago that they actually fought for the scene! Hats off to both of these legendary martial art masters and my childhood martial art icons! I lived this with all my heart!
His fighting style influenced me during my taekwondo sparring tournament way back when I was a teenager... God bless you Benny sensei!
...and his technique inspired me to breeze through my taekwondo black belt grading! Benny is the best !!
All I've ever heard were stories of Benny now I finally get to see
Watch, i think, episode 19 of Adkins' podcast, The Art of Action. It features Benny talking about his time with Jackie and includes Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever. It appears that Jackie left a hugely positive impression on Benny, who sings his praises.
Who would love to see Jackie and Benny sit down together and talk about this?
I love how benny is so happy to tell this story the interviewer doesnt even need to ask questions he just talks 😁
I love Wheels on Meals but the fight scene between them in Dragons Forever was pretty wicked too.

What bout Sammo Hung hw was underrated too
I've never seen anybody sound so thrilled to be able to take hits. God I love this guy. What a smile.Jackie Chan VHS is probably a universal childhood. This is the fight I first saw Benny in. Was a kid, couldn't pronounce his name, but "The Jet" was good enough. :D
Don’t feel bad, it took me a while to learn how to pronounce Urquidez!
His eyes are still intimidating even at his age
because he is oldskool warrior
That's so awesome! One of the best fight scenes i've ever seen
Could watch that fight scene over and over. That spinning back kick from Benny while he takes off his jacket in one motion was sick.
Sick and fast!
Mr Jet I just want to say thank u for giving us the best fight scene ever
That fight scene is one of the best hand to hand fight scenes ever.
In a recent interview, Jackie says he still want to fight with Jet,haha
Where can I see that?
I really like how cool and funny he is. A legend :)
I’m going to see him this Saturday!
I can’t decide if their fight in Wheels on Meals or Dragons Forever is their best. Both scenes are tremendously good.
Honestly I found the fight scene with Dragons Forever a bit better but yeah both scenes are amazing
One of the best fights ever. They both were at their primes. Amazing
Benny The Jet one of my favorites and a true living legend!!
You look like Terry crews
Best fight scene ever!! From watching it on video tapes to this day. Amazing choreography, and you can see it's them fighting!
This interview was SO enjoyable! Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks for uploading this Debbie, great to hear this insight. Great guy benny is, great interview thank you 👌🏻
So nice how this isn't petty or hateful. Nothing but a good attitude. I'm so happy to see this
Watched the movie as a kid, and I will never ever forget that fight scene.
Man Benny seems like such a cool guy.
That was my favorite fight scene ever. Benny is a blast👍
Benny seems like a really cool dude. Loved hearing him recounting that time, he really had a blast doing it
Benny the Jet Urquidez, Ron Vanclief, Dennis Alexio, Super foot and Don the Dragon Wilson were fantastic in the ring and in the movies. OSU and respect for all of these Masters. 🙏🏼🐅🐉
Benny the Jet ..LEGEND and is the the inspiration behind KEN from Street Fighter
No, that was Joe Lewis, another kick boxer.
Nice to see Benny again....
Debbie you interview Benny like his on a fight set it's so fun to see champ Benny on anything either it's interview or his teaching a student God bless and keep it comin'
Thank you for this great interview.
Would love to see them again on a movie while they are still kicking ❤️
Thanks for sharing. Great fight scene Benny and Jackie were in it makes it special to get a perspective of all the work that went into it
Benny's the GOAT when it came to real fight / cinema fight crossovers. Always the champ!
Awesome video. Living legend.
Top 3, if not the greatest fight scene ever filmed.
Awesome interview about one the best fight scenes ever made.
This is truly amazing. Thank you so much for the post, Ma'am.
Super interesting interview. And Sensei Benny is a true gentleman in addition to being a great fighter and martial artist 🙏🙇♂️
Even me I can't miss to see this amazing scene..now days...thx for everything u did in this film industry..
It's so nice when people talk to each other with respect.
Showing much love & respect to the one of the greatest legend in martial arts history.Meals On Wheels is one of the best movie.He is one of the best.long live Sir Benny.thank you for the great contribution in the action movies.greetings from Philippines.😊🙏👍
Old is Gold. Thank you very much Guys.
Hands down the best one on one fight in cinema. Fast and, for a movie, pretty realistic with great action and real world counters.
I got a chance to meet Benny the Jet at the Jet Center in Van Nuys while stationed in SoCal ,many years ago. Super nice guy and one of the greats!
From challenging each other on the first meeting to later become so close and friendly, that's the most bro thing ever.
What a legend and one of the best movies ever
wow ! great interview ! thanks for letting him share his experience about this.
Without sacrifice nothing great come out....and that is why this fight scene still surfaces on internet and generations after generations enjoy this scene...coz of the heart n soul these two guys and the entire team put in. ❤❤❤❤
Our generation is so lucky to have seen such legends as Benny Urquidez, Bruce Lee, etc - some of us for real and some on screen.
I love Benny - he's so nice and open in interviews. And brilliant at fighting of course.
Cool to see that Benny is humble as hell about everything. He comes across as a really great guy 🙂
Real legend
1:31 damn his thumb...
Maybe an injury or something
Fingers of a fighter!
That's what I was thinking. This guy has been in many fights and his hands have taken a beating as they're giving a beating. Still wouldn't fuck with Benny.
Pretty sure he can still kick like a mule lol
Could be arthritis. Still can kick ass.

A fierce fighter, an outstanding teacher and a charming and delicate gentleman
Great interview...! Benny the Jet is a timeless legend...and nothing comes close to that fight scene..
Best fighting scene ever made…
Strong yet so gentle and merciful. That's Benny!
You know a Martial Artist is very skilled when the suspenders and a bow-tie makes then intimidating.
I am so happy I found Benny
This is the most epic story i've heard! Really awesome! I want to see more like this

Legend.. One of the greatest ever❤
He's still in great shape .A Legend
Though i've seen most of Jackie's movies, the fight scene with Benny in dragons forever is my favourite ❤
Benny was Dangerous in that movie. In both presense and deeds. I love it became about fighters spirit and rivalry.
THIS MAN IS JUST THE BEST.
I love this man!
Great Interview! Thank you :)
