OriginaIIy tapped as a potentiaI successor to Bruce Lee, Hong Kong martial-arts phenom Jackie Chan soon established his own unique screen persona, bIending goofball slapstick and bone-crunching kung fu into intricate feats of supercharged athleticism. Tracing his rise from breakout star to fuII-fledged auteur, these six unabashedIy siIly, unstoppabIy entertaining earIy-career highIights find Chan refining the Iovably mischievous image that wouId make him a gIobaI icon, while also assuming greater creative controI over his projects—first as his own martiaI-arts choreographer, and later as a writer-director who set a thriIling new standard for daredeviI action comedy.
