The Karate Kid
A bullied adolescent feels out of place in his new home in China until he meets a kind maintenance guy who decides to teach🍸 him to become a martial arts master.ꦑ With the stakes raised by competition, the young man rises to the occasion. In this film, Jackie Chan is not seen in a funny role, but his serious depiction makes his martial arts abilities even more stunning. The young kid in the film is played by Will Smith's son Jaden Smith.
Rush Hour
Jackie Chan's first big American hit occurred while he was in his 40s. He co-stars alongside Chris Tucker in this film, in which they are tasked with locating a Chinese consul's stolen young daughter. Chan doesn't have much screen time, but he and Tucker create a fantastic comedy duo. The climax, though, comes in t𓂃he conclusion, when Chan must fight off two bad men while preventing a massive, expensive vase from toppling, and it has a fantastic humo🗹rous payoff.
Drunken Master
In this film, Chan portrays a young man who is an awful jerk; for a time, he's borderline unlikeable. When his father can no longer take it, he sends him to Beggar So, a kung fu teacher who specialises in the technique of "drunken boxing." Even Beggar So is unable to restrain Cꦅhan's character. However, following a humiliating loss at the hands of an assassin known as Thunderleg, he resolves to take the training seriously. The film's highlight is the last "rematch" with Thunderleg, who is one of the most interesting antagonists Chan has ever faced.
Rumble In The Bronx
When a Hong Kong cop comes in New York, he has no idea that his presence is the catalyst for a wider scheme. 'Rumble in the Bronx' is credited with giving Jackie Chan the international popularity he now has. Along with th▨e inventive action scenes, Chan reprises his role as the well-intentioned and inadvertently humorous protagonist that is expected from him. 'Rumble in the Bronx' may be seen as a prelude to Jackie Chan's international triumph.
