Jackie Chan, born April 7, 1954 in Hong Kong, China, is a Chinese stuntman, director, and actor whose engaging physical humor and impressive martial arts skills helped him become an international film star. He was originally named Chan Kong-sang which means ‘born in Hong Kong’. When Chan was young, his father would wake him early in the morning and they used to practice kung fu. He believed that learning kung fu would help build Chan’s character, strength, and patience. Chan was only seven years old when his parents left for Australia to continue with their career. Chan got into the Chinese Opera Research Institute, a boarding institute in Hong Kong. He started studying acrobatics, drama, singing and martial arts at the age of seven and was considered a possible successor to Bruce Lee in the Hong Kong Cinema. With his own style in martial arts and his physical humor, Chan was able to bring kung fu films to the mainstream of American cinema. His iconic brand would later be protected with a variety of trademark filings in the United States.
Chan appeared in his debut film in 1962 (the Cantonese feature Big and Little Wong Tin Bar) when he was only eight years of age. He continued to appear in movies such as ‘Come Drink with Me’ (1966) and ‘A Touch of Zen’ (1971). Chan graduated in 1971 and eventually found work as a movie stuntman and an acrobat in Fist of Fury (1972) starring the superstar, Bruce Lee. This movie gave him the chance to earn the respectful notice of the great star Bruce Lee. In 1973, after Bruce Lee’s tragic death, Chan was singled out as the only successor of Lee in the Hong Kong cinema. Chan got the opportunity to work on several kung fu movies with the director and producer Lo Wei, who used to work with Bruce Lee. Most of the movies were not nearly as successful and the collaboration ended in late 1970s. This is when Chan decided that he wanted to create a trademark image of his own.
He released his first bona fide hit in 1978, Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow, and took the Hong Kong cinema by his subsequent hits such as The Fearless Hyena (1979), Half a Loaf of Kung Fu (1980) and The Young Master (1980). The last one was with a leading film studio in Hong Kong, which was also Bruce Lee’s old production company. He gained much popularity in Hong Kong and became the country’s highest paid actor. He tried his best to take full creative control of his work, often being responsible for a range of duties including direction, production, acting and performing the theme songs. In the beginning of 1980, Jackie Chan tried his luck in Hollywood. He did some supporting roles in movies like The Cannonball Run (1982) and its 1984 sequel, as well as other films that were not quite as successful.
He continued to remain a big star in Hong Kong, coming up with action comedies like Project A (1983), Police Story (1985) and Armor of God (1986). He opened a casting/modeling agency to recruit people for his upcoming movies. Chan got seriously injured in 1986 when he fractured his skull after falling more than 40 feet while attempting to jump from the top of a building. In the year 1995, Jackie Chan created his own comic character ‘Jackie Chan’s Spartan X’, and the series was able to gain audiences in both the US and Asia. Chan was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the MTV Movie Awards by the newly appointed directing sensation Quentin Tarantino in the same year. Chan’s first hit (Rumble in the Bronx) in US was released in 1996, grossing $10 million in its first weekend and rising to No. 1 at the box office. He subsequently starred in several other hits in the coming years. In 2007, he appeared in ‘Rush Hour 3’ and did a voice-over of Master Monkey for the successful animated film Kung Fu Panda in 2008.
He also appeared in some other great movies like The Spy Next Door (2010) and a reboot of The Karate Kid (2010).
Chan’s most recent trademark filing is for a logo with the wordmark ‘JC JACKIE’. The logo features a circular mark with a dragon forming the letters “JC.” The filing covers a variety of goods, like movie soundtracks, magnets, photo albums, clothing and more. In addition, he also has many trademark registrations for “JACKIE.” These filings are also for logos with his name in the center of a circle. The trademarks cover things like cosmetics, jewelry, bags and clothing. The oldest trademark was originally filed in 2002. Jackie Chan’s net worth is at $520 million.
