No Fear, No Stuntman And No Equal. Do You Know Who He Is?

The man with this motto, who made cinema a better place is, Jackie Chan, born Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954, in Hong Kong, China. His parents sold him to midwife for almost $26. When he was born he weighted 5.5kg, and his mother started calling me 'The Cannon Ball'. At the age of 7, his parents left him behind to study at the Chinese Opera Research Institute, a Hong Kong boarding school and flew to Australia in search of new job.

During his school days, an enraged teacher broke his nose with a cane. This incident motivated him to learn Acrobatics, Martial Arts and Acting Techniques. He appeared in his first film, the Cantonese feature Big and Little Wong Tin Bar (1962), when he was only 8, and went on to appear in a number of musical films.

He even entered The Guinness Book of Record for the largest number of Takes for one Scene and also for the Largest Number Of Mentions in the Credits for one Movie.

While performing one of his stunt he ended up with a plastic plate covering a hole in his skull.

After Lee's tragic, unexpected death in 1973, Chan was singled out as a likely successor of his mantle as the king of Hong Kong cinema. To that end, he starred in a string of kung fu movies with Lo Wei, a producer and director who had worked with Lee. Most were unsuccessful, and the collaboration ended in the late 1970s. By that time, Chan had decided that he wanted to break out of the Lee mold and create his own image. Blending his martial arts abilities with impressive nerve, he insisted on performing all of his own stunts—and a sense of screwball physical comedy reminiscent of one of his idols, Buster Keaton, Chan found his own formula for cinematic gold.
