Chan started to enrol his career as an actor in a movie titled “New Fist of Fury”. This movie was not so familiar to the audiences and it is to be considered as a flop. The only reason behind his failure is that Chan failed to overcome the martial stunts of Bruce Lee’s style.
“I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.”
