After Drunken Master , he would go on to direct The Young Master (1980), form his own stunt team, and eventually break every bone in his body for films like Police Story and Project A . But the complete story of his first movies is not one of early glory—it is the story of a boy who learned to fall, failed spectacularly as a copycat, and then got up, laughed at himself, and invented a new way to fly.

Released later that same year, Drunken Master cemented Jackie as a superstar. He played the fictionalized Wong Fei-hung, a mischievous student who learns the "Drunken Fist" technique. This film's huge success solidified the "Kung Fu Comedy" subgenre and established Jackie's unique cinematic voice. jackie chan first movies
