The Ultimate Action Hero. For twenty years one man has dominated action cinema worldwide. He is adored by more fans than Stallone, Schwartzenegger or Willis and yet until recently was virtually ignored by America and the UK. All that has changed now. Welcome to the world of Jackie Chan, martial artist, comedian and stuntman.

Most people associate Jackie Chan with the recent smash hit films Rush Hour and Rumble in the Bronx but there is a lot more of him to see. Jackie learnt his trade from the harsh world of Peking Opera School and began to appear in films as a child. He slowly progressed from minor roles to becoming a head stuntman and eventually lead actor in a number of kung fu movies in the 1970s. It was only when he began to direct his own films that the real Jackie Chan film was born.

If you have never seen a Jackie Chan film before, you are in for one wild ride. They are a unique blend of visual comedy, incredible stunts and electrifying fights. What makes them so special is that Jackie performs all of his own stunts, no matter how crazy, no matter how dangerous. And they are dangerous. In the course of his career Jackie has broken nearly every bone in his body and come within a hair's breadth of death.No one will insure him.

In this book we'll be taking a look at the world's most popular action hero -
See! Jackie skateboard through rush hour traffic. Against the flow.
See! Jackie fall from a tall building. Handcuffed.
See! Jackie drive through a town. Literally through the town.
See! Jackie run down the side of a building. While it is falling down.
See! Jackie leap from the top of a car park. Onto a balcony across the road.
You'll laugh. You'll gasp. You'll wince. You've never seen anyone like Jackie Chan.
