I saw this interview with Jackie.
Some did suggest they were rivals etc.
But he explained that each time they met...they would exchange gifts

Not fair though to compare...different era.
Jackie started in the 70's...worked with Super Master Bruce Lee
On his peak in the 80's and 90's.

Got a point there.

People tend to forget that after Bruce Lee died, Hong Kong film industry wants Jackie Chan to be the next big thing.
But he failed...because no one can replace Bruce Lee as a tough martial arts actor...the "wataaa!!!" thing.

So, Jackie try a different approach...comedy and action = success.

Jet Li - Started as a martial arts (wanna be good, started when you're 5 years old at least)
Jackie Chan - started in an acting school (martial arts, acrobatic etc.) together with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

Me more of a Jackie Chan fan

Oh uh...I flaming detected

I enjoy both of their movies.

BTW, Donnie Yen is a cool martial artist....good looking and tough.
