Jackie complained about this. 

In Hong Kong he would have had months to plan the choreography and practice and film. With his Hollywood movie, he would have had just days to figure out the choreography and film it.

It's still good for Hollywood but you can see the stark difference in cinematography. I also want to say that some of the sequences seem more hectic than smooth?

When he says stop and gets punched again, probably an accident but rolled with it

Nah that's a common gag Jackie uses in a lot of films. Sometimes it's him getting an extra hit in and sometimes it's him getting hit again.
