On a landmark episode of WE DO OUR STUNTS we continue our chronological look at the career of Jackie Chan with his first great movie: 1978's SNAKE & CRANE ARTS OF SHAOLIN! Directed by Chen Chi Hwa (who would later collaborate with Jackie on POLICE STORY), the film is about a marital arts student (played by Jackie) who is guarding "Eight Steps of the Snake and Crane", a martial arts manual. Filled with excellent choreography and a sarcastic sense of humor, we're inching ever closer to the combination of kung-fu and comedy that would turn Jackie into an international star. Check it out!
