Jackie Chan’s tie to Buster Keaton
Jackie Chan’s Bibliography
One of the most famous actors world wide, Jackie Chan is adored universally. What is his Background? How did he choose/develop his unique style? What is his tie to Buster Keaton?
Jackie was born in Hong Kong on April 7th, 1954 as only child to extremely poor parents. In fact the doctor offered them money to take care of the baby. His parents borrowed money from a friend and kept him. They put him in Peking Opera School at a young age. This is where he developed his martial arts skills. At the opera school Chan participated in a performing group called “The Seven Little Fortunes.” This lead him to be a stuntman in various movies. He even had the chance to appear briefly in Bruce Lee’s “Enter the Dragon.” Afterwards he actually made a sequel to Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury, and was called New Fist of Fury. This didn’t go over to well with Chan or the audiences. He made a few other movies trying to imitate Bruce Lee and it just wasn’t working.
The big breakthrough came in 1978 with Snake in Eagle’s Shadow. For the first time his unique style showed though. He was able to be comic and star in a film that was light hearted, instead of living in Bruce Lee’s shadow. He chose this style because it fit him, and he knew he needed to do something different in order to succeed.. In his own words: “”If I did things Bruce Lee style, punching and kicking, there would be no way for me to succeed. Instead I mixed action with comedy. When he kicks high, I kick low, and I added humor.” Now Chan had his niche.
While it took a few trips to America to finally make movies that were successful, the first trip was not a waste as he was there introduced to the style of the silent comedians, who had a huge effect on the rest of his career. In fact in his 1984 movie Project A he even preformed a stunt hanging from a bell tower then falling three stories which was a recreation from a Harry Lloyd film. Chan showed his respect and admiration for Keaton in this quote. ““I want to be remembered like I remember Buster Keaton. When they talk about Buster Keaton or Gene Kelly, people say ‘Ah yes, they good’. Maybe one day they remember Jackie Chan that way. That’s all”.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
