Jackie Chan First Movies | 5000+ OFFICIAL |

That man was Jackie Chan.

This was the birth of “Jackie Chan comedy kung fu.” He got hit in the face, ran away, hid behind furniture, and used buckets, brooms, and ladders as weapons. The audience laughed with him, not at him. The film was a monster hit, breaking box office records in Hong Kong and Asia. Riding the wave, Yuen Woo-ping and Jackie immediately made Drunken Master (1978) the same year. This time, Jackie played the real-life folk hero Wong Fei-hung—but as a mischievous, disrespectful teenager who gets trained in the taboo “Drunken Boxing” by a vicious master. The final fight, where Jackie fights the killer “Thunderleg” while simulating drunkenness with staggering precision, is a masterpiece of physical storytelling. jackie chan first movies

After Drunken Master , he would go on to direct The Young Master (1980), form his own stunt team, and eventually break every bone in his body for films like Police Story and Project A . But the complete story of his first movies is not one of early glory—it is the story of a boy who learned to fall, failed spectacularly as a copycat, and then got up, laughed at himself, and invented a new way to fly.
