Tony Zhou of Every Frame A Painting said it best: “Some filmmakers can do action. Others can do comedy. But for forty years, the master at combining them has been Jackie Chan.”
The Hong Kong film legend has been a major influence on modern action filmmakers–and arguably, nothing comes close to the original. Celebrate this pioneer of action-comedy cinema and binge some of Jackie Chan’s greatest hits on Lionsgate Play with PLDT Home!
