My favorite thing about Jackie Chan movies is exactly this. He usually spends most of the fight backing off, hands up, going "no no no I don't want to do this" until he has no choice but to clothesline someone with a ladder (remorsefully).

It's a trope Avatar the Last Airbender did great with too.

Jackie Chan is the nicest guy in every movie.

Nathan Drake in Uncharted is like "Hey guys, can't we just talk this out?!" as he guns down 50 people with a minigun

I can't think of the damn name of the movie right now, but one of my favorites is actually the only one I can think of that isn't like this. It's basically Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with bits of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but Indiana Jones is just Jackie Chan.

Edit: Operation Condor. That's the name.
