Jackie Chan emerged as one of the most noteworthy action stars of the late 90s and 2000s after years as a leading man in Hong Kong cinema, but he produced an all-time classic upon breaking out in Hollywood. His prowess as a martial artist and charisma as an actor helped him earn the trust of legendary Hong Kong filmmakers like John Woo, Lo Wei, and Yuen Woo-ping. As he began to break into Hollywood in the 1980s, Chan found a foothold in the action comedy genre in particular, both in Hollywood and in Hong Kong cinema.
