Jackie Chan: Emergence of a Superstar (The Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Jackie Chan: Emergence of a Superstar (The Criterion Collection)Condition: NewFormat: Blu-rayDescription: 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.
