Considering the fact that Chan started his career in the 1960s as a child actor, was a stunt performer opposite Bruce Lee, and has had movie credits in every single decade since, this is verifiably true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The list of his great movies are too many to name, although <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drunken Master<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project A<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Police Story<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armour of God<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crime Story<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Rumble in the Bronx<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should always be part of the conversation about which ones were his best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approaching the 2000s, Chan started transitioning to Hollywood, where he made broad action comedies such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rush Hour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shanghai Noon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and voiced Master Monkey in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kung Fu Panda<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> animated movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In more recent times, Chan has remained prolific, with seven film credits between 2019 and 2021. The Best Picture at the 2023 Academy Awards, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, was actually written for Chan, before Michelle Yeoh took on the lead role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year alone, Chan has five credits, including his latest action-comedy, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ride On<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an underdog story of a stuntman and his horse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In it, Chan plays Luo, a man estranged from his daughter, who needs her help as he faces crippling debts amid a failing career. Despite having a knee injury, Chan put off surgery in order to complete the film, a testament to his never-say-die spirit still going strong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The screen legend can next be seen, or rather heard, in the upcoming <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> animated film \u2013 voicing Master Splinter, who else \u2013 and he has also signed up for the long-awaited sequel, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Police Story 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>The Super Mario Bros.
