Summary:
Originally tapped as a potential successor to Bruce Lee, Hong Kong martial-arts phenom Jackie Chan soon established his own unique screen persona, blending goofball slapstick and bone-crunching kung fu into intricate feats of supercharged athleticism. Tracing his rise from breakout star to full-fledged auteur, these six unabashedly silly, unstoppably entertaining early-career highlights find Chan refining the lovably mischievous image that would make him a global icon, while also assuming greater creative control over his projects, first as his own martial-arts choreographer, and later as a writer-director who set a thrilling new standard for daredevil action comedy. Four-Blu-Ray Special Edition Features: 2K digital restorations of Spiritual Kung Fu; The Fearless Hyena; Fearless Hyena II; The Young Master; and My Lucky Stars and high-definition digital restoration of Half a Loaf of Kung Fu, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks.
