Happy 61st Birthday Jackie Chan!!!

[mikezismike]

Happy Birthday 成龍 Jackie Chan! From a young age, Jackie trained at Yu Jim Yuen's Peking Opera School. This is where he first learned his incredible martial arts, acrobatics and performing skills.

He would also form a lifelong relationship with other members of the "Seven Little Fortunes", who all found success in the Hong Kong film industry. Members included Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Corey Yuen, Yuen Wah, Yuen Tak, Yuen Tai, and Yuen Mo.

Here is a clip of an early screen appearance of the Fortunes, including an eight year old Jackie Chan!

Except for the 100+ films he was involved in.

Not going to lie. I enjoyed the Tuxedo.

Great actor/performer, asshole communist sympathizer.

Jackie Chain is a legend. The things he did are insane, and he entertained me for many hours. Spaghetti Monster bless!

 

[Lethal_Striker]

A true film legend, one of the biggest movie stars in the world. He's probably the most popular film actor of all time in the worlds most populated country. And what he has done as a stunt man is truly legendary.

plus his parents own a Chinese restaurant (who woulda thought?) in Canberra the capital of Oz - so he spends a lot of time here and no-one has a bad word about him.
