Bruce Lee vs Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. The family moved to Canberra, Australia when Chan was six years old, but the next year his parents sent him back to Hong Kong to attend a strict boarding school where students were taught jingxi. From the age of 7 to 17, he studied acrobatics, singing, martial arts and mime, skills that led him to a position in a professional acrobatic jumping troupe and landed him bit parts as a child actor and later a stuntman. Independent film producer Lo Wei, hoping to find a successor to the late Bruce Lee, cast him in a series of lackluster kung fu films from 1976–78. Instead of portraying Li’s stern personality, in 1978, Chan used his own form of bumbling physical comedy in his first successful films She xing diao shou (Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow) and Zui quan (Drunken Master). He then wrote and starred in and starred in Xiao quan guai zhao (1979; The Fearless Hyena).
