Jackie Chan: Emergence of a Superstar [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray]

Criterion Collection (4Pc) / (Box Mono Sub)

Overview

"Originally tapped as a potential successor to Bruce Lee, Hong Kong martial-arts phenom Jackie Chan soon established his own unique screen persona, blending goofball slapstick and bone-crunching kung fu into intricate feats of supercharged athleticism. Tracing his rise from breakout star to full-fledged auteur, these six unabashedly silly, unstoppably entertaining early-career highlights find Chan refining the lovably mischievous image that would make him a global icon, while also assuming greater creative control over his projects¿first as his own martial-arts choreographer, and later as a writer-director who set a thrilling new standard for daredevil action comedy. Films in this set: Half a Loaf of Kung Fu (1978) Spiritual Kung Fu (1978) The Fearless Hyena (1979) Fearless Hyena II (1983) The Young Master (1980) My Lucky Stars (1985)"
