Criterion Collection Releases Spiritual Kung Fu and 5 More Jackie Chan Cult Classics as Special Edition Set

Blu-ray Releases | Nov 7, 2023

Criterion Collection

Originally tapped as a potential successor to Bruce Lee, Hong Kong martial arts master and Chinese Opera performer Jackie Chan ultimately established his own unique on-screen persona, blending goofball slapstick and bone-crushing kung fu into intricate feats of supercharged athleticism. Tracing his rise from breakout star to full-fledged auteur, these six unabashedly hilarious, unstoppably entertaining early career highlights find Chan refining the lovably mischievous image that would make him a global icon. The suite of movies also helped give Jackie Chan greater creative control over his projects, first as his own martial arts choreographer, and later as a writer-director who set a thrilling new standard for daredevil action comedy.
