1984. With Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung. Benny Urquidez (born June 20, 1952) is an American kickboxer, martial arts choreographer and actor. He also played opposite Jackie in Dragons Forever. This fight with Chan is considered to be one of the finest fights on film. Reportedly, Jackie Chan became incredibly frustrated during the filming of his climactic fight with Benny Urquidez, as Urquidez continually kicked and hit Chan for real. At one point in the final Chan/Urquidez battle, a spin-kick by Urquidez is so fast that the wind from it blows out a series of candles. This is shown onscreen, with no cuts or trick photography.
