I love how Jackie Chan has been able to break the type casting by bringing comedy to the audience and looping his talents to not mimic Bruce Lee when he was more popular. That was brilliant! Such longevity in his career!
He got his respect in the Western Hemisphere, so wouldn't say that. He's been my personal favorite for so many years, although, JCVD was my first one I became a fan of. Donnie Yen is the one who's underrated to me.
Bruce Lee was waaaay ahead of his time. He’s a movie icon because his performance was so much deeper than fighting. His knowledge and wisdom from his personal life just added to his legend.
Bruce Lee did seem to me to be a person that gave everything, even if the movie story and the scenery was stereotypical or simple his part made those shortcomings marginal.
Everyone's pain talking about Bruce's death especially Jackie. My respect & admiration for Jackie has reached another level after watching this, Thanks 😢.
Bruce Lee est une légende beaucoup n'imagine pas qu'il y a déjà plus de 50 ans, il a révolutionné le combat au cinéma et à fait évoluer les arts martiaux. Sa première qualité était son intelligence à comprendre les choses et à les faire évoluer. Son charisme à l'écran était également incroyable. 🙏🏻💯❤️❤️❤️🇨🇵
Even with a low understanding of English, he still shows perfect understanding of cultural differences, movie esthetics, how dangerous sycophants can be and how to embody the essence of what Bruce did while staying true to himself His legacy survived due to Jet, Jackie and Donnie
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco and go to Catholic school in Hong Kong and also went to the University in the U.S. I would say his English is excellent.
“…totally opposite to Bruce Lee.” Fascinating. Where Bruce was fierce and in control and deadly serious, Jackie created his own on-screen persona that felt the blows and fought with humour and slapstick. Great contrast in styles.
Bruce Lee took different martial arts styles and blended together the best elements of them to create Jeet Kune Do. Ironically many of the martial artists they taught him their various styles became his students in Jeet Kune Do.
I always described the old Jackie Chan films and fights as "winning by accident", where he wasn't one step ahead of the opponent, or two steps ahead, he wasn't even half a step ahead, he was barely keeping up and his secret weapon was luck. It was very unique, and so expertly executed, it felt like magic how each sequence tied into each other like falling backwards into a victory.
Jackie Chan is so humble, his movies are amazing and remind me of buster keaton or charlie chaplin. He is in a league of his own in modern cinema. Not to take away from Bruce lee who was a pioneer and is an icon in his own right. But even the best Bruce lee movies never made me wonder _how did they film that?_ And with Jackie Chan I've been amazed more times than I can count. Absolutely phenomenal movie star. His movies will always entertain and amaze. Timeless pieces one after another. I love Jackie Chan. (Edit) to put it another way, when I think of bruce lee I think of sylvester stallone, arnold swarzenegger, wesly snipes. All amazing actors with amazing films, but again not as spectacular as: Jackie Chan, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Tom Cruise. When it comes to action movies performers who can do their own stunts just speak more to the imagination. They make me want to go to the cinema. Where as action stars i'm okay with seeing them at home.
This video was awesome to watch! Anyone else out there, probably 40 years of age or older in the US, remember samurai Sunday? We would go to church in the morning, and come home and binge martial arts movies until they stopped playing them that day. That started my obsession with martial arts movies, and it continues to this day
Honestly I feel like we have been lucky to be around to witness this era while these legends were making films. While my parents grew up to witness the phenomenon that was Bruce Lee, we had these guys. Rest in peace Bruce Lee, you kicked off an era that made it possible for these guys to succeed 🙏
Jackie is really a genius. When everyone wanted to be Bruce Lee he created his own identity and everyone loved it. I love his movies. They're too light and too funny, but they're also action packed.
Donnie Yen is a BEAST! Also, thank you so much for this video. I thought you were stalling in the beginning like 90% youtubers do, but you were actually speaking out of passion. Thank you, truly
He did a movie in y'all continent, too, called Mr Nice Guy, which is one of his personal best, before his major breakthrough in America with Rush Hour.
When viewing many action stars, you see a man. A skilled man, but a man none the less. When viewing Bruce Lee, however, you instictively know you are witnessing something more... You catch a glimpse of the dragon that resides within.
First time I saw Jet Li, I was thinking holy sh*t who is this guy. He is amazing to watch. Bruce Lee will always be the standard but these other guys are fascinating too.
It’s amazing. I see so many people talking about Jackie Chan. Is anyone going to talk about how phenomena and how real Danny yen is the way he was talking about the spirit that Bruce Lee brought to the movie set was absolutely on point. You can’t just be a good actor and throw a couple of good punches and kicks here and there you have to be good at fighting and you have to capture the spirit of martial arts, including the when Chen karate
Bro u an og for this comment I was scrolling thru the comments to see if any one would acknowledge Donnie perspective cuz he hit the nail on the head but everyone mostly was on Jet or Jackie, and to not discredit both either, I was just hoping to see it. What stuck out to me about Donnie is that he also is a true fighter like Bruce was like they trained and acted in a sort of way that complemented their martial arts mindset cuz Donnie is true fighter the MMA style that he incorporates with his already knowledgeable and polished Chinese kung fu makes him very unique. The way he talked about how after Bruce's passing that the sort of fluidity and "finesse" and "rhythm" as he put it that Bruce incorporated and developed into his movies that made him such a star was lost to all the Bruce-isms that other actors tried to copy like the signature scream and so on, I felt and believed every word because like he said at the time even tho martial arts movies were so small in the wide world of cinema it was a specific niche that being a good martial artist wasn't enough if you were going to put it on the big screens for other consumers to enjoy and while some companies and some actors may have found a formula and what not that might've worked Bruce came with an original style that stood out and stuck that separated him from others. Donnie is truly not more appreciated enough but I love him so much and the fact that he mentioned Sugar Ray Leonard and boxing and other martial arts that he has incorporated into his repertoire just spoke volumes to me gosh I love all these guys Jackie Donnie Jet Bolo and most of all Bruce man I just love my Kung fu action cinema its such a joy to experience.
Jackie chan did want he did because he was a fan of Bruce Lee. Jet li did what he did because he was a fan of Jackie Chan. It always comes back to bruce lee.
Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris were old enough to remember Bruce. They were in his films. Jet Li and Donnie Yen were too young when Bruce was in his prime. Jet and Donnie were only 10 years old at that time.
@@vincentsantos6274 with JL being national champion from 1975-1979, i'm pretty sure he know about BL, and knew and seen a lot, maybe outside meeting him in real life
Just came across this, thank you so much for posting. I really appreciate Jackie Chan's honesty, candidness, and confidence. Also he has encouraged me to communicate in a country where the language is not my mother tongue. Love his respect and admiration for Bruce Lee and how he stood his ground in not mimicking Bruce Lee.
This proves the power and influence Bruce Lee had on martial arts and cinema! Some fifty years after his death we are still seriously talking about him!!
I just like had to learn Bruce's candle technique...so I mastered it aswel with both hands after practicing shadow fighting 😆 nobody can defeat thier shadow
I ultimately think that there is a lot of aura and myth surrounding Lee. He was the 1st, but I'm not so sure he's the best anymore. Jackie is an amazing martial artist, extremely talented, and has an insane body of work. Unfortunately we'll never know what Lee would have ended up accomplishing...
@@johncook9392 they're all great in their own right. Bruce was the father of martial arts to the mainstream western media allowing those after him to flourish.
What an intelligent, attractive man. I always loved Jackie Chan and still do. Very thankful for his humorous entertaing movies with all the fantastic stunts. So much intelligence and talent, and he seems so kind.
I'm a 42 year old American and grew up in California but the first movie my mom ever bought me on VHS was Wheels on Meals. I remember being so excited when Rumble In The Bronx was released in US theaters. Jackie Chan is wonderful.
That is the best interview Ive ever heard/seen with Jackie Chan , wonderful , thankyou so much . Never knew too much about martial arts or the masters other than SPEED . This is a brilliant video .
great find. the one interesting thing i think most people won't even notice is the last few minutes of Jackie's interview about the difference between action movies in the US and Asia was spot on foresight of what western "action" movies ultimately became. go back to 80's and 90's action movies and watch how long a fight sequence is compared to a modern movie whether live action or full cgi, etc.
Just look at how excited Jackie is when talking about Bruce, that's how great Bruce Lee was. He was a larger than life figure, supremely gifted, affable and charismatic. 1 of 1.
donnie yen is my favourite martial arts movie star today. scott atkins is also very good but i find him more predictable. donnie like he said does indeed bring a bigger depth to his charactorization i believe.
@@RansomeDavis I think it was like 8 of them, too, which is why he was the perfect pick to play Grandmaster Yip Man, who is Bruce Lee's mentor. Besides, he spent a lot of time in Boston, which is a rough city, starting at age 11, other than being in his native land of China, so he's about it fr
I know these voices anywhere. Regardless of language. Honestly, these fellas are the main reason I got into foreign films as a kid. Lee, Li, Chan, and later on, Yen. It didn't really matter that I didn't know the language. The movies were still dope! Then after I could keep up with the subtitles, it made sooo much better!
Jet Li, Jackie and Donnie, individually, will always be up there alongside Bruce Lee. In my youth they were the epitome of the archetypal hero I wanted and we all wanted to be. They all brought their own unique style to each film they made and whilst Bruce Lee was the godfather of martial arts films, they should all be up there alongside. Now, can we have a film with them all in? (Ai Bruce?)
Chan and Lee aren't even comparable. Both are the best in their own field. Chan is better in cinema. Lee is possibly the best in a real fight. Both never stopped perfecting their craft.
Thanks a lot for this video. About why Jackie Chan started doing the opposite of Bruce Lee, and innovated more than others: “Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not. Add what is uniquely your own.”
That is so funny to hear him say then. Idk when this was filmed but by the time that I grew up (in the mid 90s), Jackie Chan movies were already very well established in the family market. 20:14
Donnie is another great martial artist, whose movies I love. He always looks the part he is playing. And, true enough, he looked scary even in the one he was a villain - Shanghai Knights.
Whoever the actor/ stuntman who has the honor of doing a Jackie Chan movie has incredible shoes to fill. Jackie changed the stuntman culture and changed action forever as we know it.
If you really listen to Jackie Chan, that man REALLY knows what he is doing. He really just took “The Nutty Professor” and added in some Kung-fu, and created a whole Genre which he dominated. Jackie Chan movies are some great comedy. I was in my teens when Bruce Lee movies were in the theater, what always amazed me, as this video states, was just how FAST he moved. Today if you watch it, it looks like CGI, but CGI was not around when these movies were being made, THAT'S HOW FAST he looked on screen, it looked FAKED, but it just couldn't be faked.

Jet li so underrated
That man is a serious weapon

@@TylerHingletonI agree Donnie Yen was super underrated especially in that international movie when he was a cop
@@TylerHingleton dont agree, Jet Li was already huge in China before he made it in the West and had made many great classic kung fu movies.
@@pablodebella7695 That's my point, is that he got his full credit in both hemispheres, like Bruce and Jackie did, except for Donnie.
Jet L yes

Funny to hear Jackie talking about the Bruceploitation explosion of films that occurred proceeding Bruce Lee's passing. He was right in his words!
Even with a low understanding of English, he still shows perfect understanding of cultural differences, movie esthetics, how dangerous sycophants can be and how to embody the essence of what Bruce did while staying true to himself
His legacy survived due to Jet, Jackie and Donnie
Do you know Jackie's vernacular tongue(?)
He has a high understanding of English actually
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco and go to Catholic school in Hong Kong and also went to the University in the U.S. I would say his English is excellent.
“…totally opposite to Bruce Lee.” Fascinating. Where Bruce was fierce and in control and deadly serious, Jackie created his own on-screen persona that felt the blows and fought with humour and slapstick. Great contrast in styles.

Exactly the order. In the next there's also yuen biao.

All 3 are so good at what they do. Bruce was just unbelievable. Great to hear them speak about this.
Bruce Lee was a dancer as well as a martial artist hence his use of rhythm (broken rhythm)in fighting...
He didn’t fight. He was in movies.
To Jackie Chan.

I don't think Jet Li ever experienced Bruce up and close, but Jackie Chan sure did.
Lee was, for the most part, humorless.
Chan added slapstick comedy which we hadn't seen before. Plus, Chan was an equally proficient choreographer.
So did Chuck Norris

too bad he spouted lots of bad things about Americans after making good money from his American movies, look it up

And Bruce, Jackie, Donnie & Jet are just amazing
The allure of Bruce Lee can be embodied in one word - charisma - that no one has since him
great find. the one interesting thing i think most people won't even notice is the last few minutes of Jackie's interview about the difference between action movies in the US and Asia was spot on foresight of what western "action" movies ultimately became. go back to 80's and 90's action movies and watch how long a fight sequence is compared to a modern movie whether live action or full cgi, etc.

Wow what a take from Donnie Yen never thought about it like that awesome video thank you for sharing
Always a pleasure to listen to a very intelligent, super articulate Donny Yen. Great insights.
all of these guys have/had their own style that they worked hard to develop. each one of these guys are/were great and awesome to watch.

It didn't really matter that I didn't know the language. The movies were still dope! Then after I could keep up with the subtitles, it made sooo much better!
Jet Li, Jackie and Donnie, individually, will always be up there alongside Bruce Lee. In my youth they were the epitome of the archetypal hero I wanted and we all wanted to be.
They all brought their own unique style to each film they made and whilst Bruce Lee was the godfather of martial arts films, they should all be up there alongside.
Now, can we have a film with them all in? (Ai Bruce?)
You blink and you miss Bruce Lee's kick!
Chan and Lee aren't even comparable. Both are the best in their own field. Chan is better in cinema. Lee is possibly the best in a real fight. Both never stopped perfecting their craft.
Jacky Chan has, in this interview, such a natural and spontaneous way of talking... very cool human being.
It's crazy to think I will be the one to tell stories about these legends to the future generations.
Jackie, you did it! You're the best! Funny smart and we all miss him making movies. 😢
It's been a long time, good to see y'all together again ✌️👏
Even Jet Li is very fast, producer have to tell him to slow down so the camera can record him.

Great Jackie Chan interview. 😊
Love how Ali gets mentioned twice by different people...
Don't forget he was a professional dancer, your witnessing rhythm or soul in his performance.
Jackie Chan got some wicked old kung fu films. Drunken master. Snake in the eagle shadow. Dragon lord. Whole heap. Him the king.
Donnie is another great martial artist, whose movies I love. He always looks the part he is playing. And, true enough, he looked scary even in the one he was a villain - Shanghai Knights.
Whoever the actor/ stuntman who has the honor of doing a Jackie Chan movie has incredible shoes to fill. Jackie changed the stuntman culture and changed action forever as we know it.
For me, the greatest role for Jet Li was the role of Huo Yuanjia and he was the biggest marțial art master i ever saw.
Legends talking about a LEGEND
If you really listen to Jackie Chan, that man REALLY knows what he is doing. He really just took “The Nutty Professor” and added in some Kung-fu, and created a whole Genre which he dominated. Jackie Chan movies are some great comedy.
