Some ground rules

Since this will be a large undertaking, there have to be some rules.

First, I’ll be attempting to do these in order of release date. There are some films that sat “in the can” for years, and were released after Jackie gained a measure of fame. In cases such as these, I’ll make sure to note as much.

Second, some of his early work will be intentionally excluded, due to most of them only amounting to brief cameos(Fist of Fury for exampe), or Jackie only appearing in an uncredited role. This means that “Master With Cracked Fingers” will only get briefly mentioned as it is cobbled together with footage from Cub Tiger from Kwang Tung(aka Little Tiger of Canton).

Lastly, the qualification to be included in this list, is that Jackie has to fight hand to hand against someone, even if only briefly. So if there is a long drawn out action scene, interspersed with fighting, then it is included as one long scene.
