THE MAN WHO NEVER GAVE UP.
Movie after movie, Jackie chased his dream of making it big working as a stuntman and as extras.
Some ventures paid off, others not as much. One ended in the director telling him he was “useless”. But Jackie Chan was determined to be the best and he trained harder than anyone around him. While everyone slept, he was up practicing his moves in the mirror until 4 AM.

Gradually, his efforts began to show promise. Jackie Chan was quickly becoming known for his willingness and ability to perform death-defying stunts, as no one else was doing it at the time, which gave him a chance to work as a stunt double for films featuring Bruce Lee.

In 1973, after Bruce Lee’s tragic death, Jackie Chan snagged his first starring role in Little Tiger of Canton. It had a limited release, resulting in underwhelming viewership. After a string of unsuccessful movies
Jackie was hurt, miserable, and forced to rethink his plan of action. He decided he didn’t want to become the “next Bruce Lee”. He wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.
With this in mind, Jackie searched for a way to be different. He recalled his childhood role models, comedians such as Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton. He then took comedy and applied it to the usually serious realm of martial arts, the audience would like it. He drew from his experience of fighting in his early years, where punching someone hurt and being scared was expected. Jackie brought realistic behaviours into action-packed scenes and made them hilarious. By doing this, the genre of comedic Kung Fu was born.

This new perspective resulted in a refreshing take on Kung Fu movies – which soon shot Jackie Chan into the spotlight.

After long hours of hard work and breaking nearly every bone in his body, this is Jackie Chan's story of resilience and creativity which ultimately led him to success.

Concentration is the root of all higher abilities in man.
