Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan is the best martial artist in the world. He was born fighting and as he has said many times will die fighting. His most recognizable characteristic is his stunts. He does all his own stunts, this is probably the reason for all his injuries. He has a child called Chan Cho-Ming, he was born in 1982. Although Jackie Chan has had many sucsessful films not many people will state he is better than Bruce Lee, however, in his own way he is. Bruce Lee invented his own style and mastered others where as Jackie masters many and concentrates on his career.

The martial arts masters of this world will learn things from people like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, but they can't become them that is why Jackie Chan usually states that people should be who they are and that's the reason for him doing his own stunts. Jackie also said that if he became ill, he would retire from acting straight away as he wants to spend time with his child. When asked who is Jackie Chan's idol, he always replied 'My Father'. His reasons for this will only be told by Jackie Chan himself, however, many believe that his reasons travel further and that it's a mystery to even Jackie's father.

Jackie Chan's best ever feat was learning to talk English fluently but still has not mastered that. He knows enough to communicate on a sensible level *claps* but he hasn't always been successful. Once he had to jump off a castle into a tree for a film stunt but he fell forty feet and cracked his skull *sighs, unlucky mate* However, he successfully completed that stunt and the movie was a success. I can't really rate Jackie too much but I can say he is a credit to Hong Kong and I'm sure that they realize this.
