The Evolution Of Jackie Chan

A history of comedy violence

Big And Little Wong Tin Bar (1962)

Jackie Chan made his feature debut at the tender age of eight in this black-and-white Hong Kong movie. Chan had been attending the China Drama Academy studying performance, acrobatics and martial arts, and he’d continue to do so for the next decade.

Over the same period of time he continued to appear in support roles in obscure martial arts movies, but it wasn’t long before he was moving on to bigger things…

Injuries sustained? He remained unharmed here, but even at a young age he was comfortable in the art of beating people up.
