stratdax posted:Jackie Chan took his theatre training that he learnt from the Peking Opera School he attended and combined it with huge influences from Buster Keaton and the Three Stooges. I think he's amazing and was probably the most gifted action movie martial artist ever, but I think he's a little too modern or not quite what the OP is looking for, outside of early movies like "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow". Thing about Chan is his best films aren't really martial arts movies. They all incorporate martial arts, but when I think of Jackie Chan I think of Police Story, Rumble in the Bronx, Who Am I, and then his later American films. I would never discount the inclusion of his earlier work on the genre (Drunken Master is basically required viewing), but Chan in his prime and at his best was the spectacle of stuntwork and choreography, with the martial arts serving to back those up. Traditional kung fu flicks are also thematically very different from the films he became famous for.
