Jackie Chan, born on April 7, 1954, revolutionized action cinema with his unique style that fuses physical comedy, acrobatics, and martial arts. He began his career at the Peking Opera School and transitioned from being a Hong Kong stuntman to a leading action star. His breakthrough films, 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow' and 'Drunken Master', established him as a prominent figure in the industry. Despite challenges in Hollywood early on, such as commercial failures, Chan eventually became a global icon known for performing his own stunts and adding humor to action sequences.
His distinctive style combines slapstick, acrobatics, martial arts, and astonishing stunts he performs himself.
Chan found his milieu when director Yuen Woo-ping cast him in 1978's kung fu comedy Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and gave Chan creative freedom over the stunt work.
