Jet Li vs Jackie Chan, who is the real ＂King of Kung Fu＂？
"King of Kung Fu" stills
★ Martial arts: one real and one virtual have their own wonders
The martial arts skills of the two have their own strengths. Li Lianjie started practicing martial arts at the age of 9 and won the national martial arts championship at the age of 12. Needless to say, his martial arts skills are: fast speed, accurate movements, strong strength, good bouncing, and clear rhythm. Generally, people feel difficult to hit a "whirlwind leg". He can hit two in a row, and his movements are very beautiful.
Jackie Chan went to Master Yu Zhanyuan’s Chinese Drama School to study Peking Opera and martial arts at the age of 10. In addition to performing on stage, he also worked on the set as a special guest, and when he was a little older, he worked as a martial arts instructor and stand-in. His playful, dexterous and hard-working personality, agility, and the characteristics of adding comedy elements to kung fu skills made the audience applaud. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as Li Lianjie’s, giving people a feeling of floating and empty, he integrated special effects into it, and achieved great success with thrills and humor.
★ Experience: Jackie Chan ginger is still old and spicy
Jackie Chan officially signed a contract with the film company in 1972, and emerged from "Serpentine Knife". Jackie Chan has been in the movie for nearly 30 years. While he has an overwhelming supply of flowers and applause, he also has another kind of proof, that is, the scars all over his body. Open Jackie Chan’s "medicine cabinet", accompanied by his kung fu mythology, we can find that his King Kong body is covered with sword wounds everywhere. Earlier in the so-called traditional kung fu film, despite the constant fighting, it is still far from the thrills in action movies. Since entering the era of action movies, Jackie Chan has been making films with each passing day. When he jumps off a speeding train or breaks a window from a tall building with dozens of floors, his "medicine cabinet" has to be equipped with large equipment in addition to pain relief powder and Yunnan Baiyao.
Li Lianjie shot to fame at the age of 20 with his film "Shaolin Temple", then went to the United States after making a lot of martial arts films in one go, and "waited" in the United States for a few years. After the 1990s, he returned to Hong Kong to make films and gradually focused on Hollywood.
★ Image: Multi-faceted Jet Li wins
Jackie Chan’s image is somewhat stylized, and I can’t imagine what Jackie Chan looks like as a villain, nor can I imagine how Jackie Chan’s movies can be watched without jokes.
Li Lianjie’s screen image is more malleable. He can play both a cold-faced killer and a gentle and handsome young man; he can play both a comedy and a tragedy, a fashion drama or a costume movie. Not the kind of simple-minded martial artist, but a handsome "young man" with superb martial arts skills.
★ Emotions: Jet Li A good man is rare
Although Li Lianjie has been divorced once, his relationship with Li Zhi is very stable at present. In order to respect Li Zhi, Li Lianjie refuses to shoot intimate scenes. Every time he attends a publicity event with a female star, Li Lianjie has never touched the shoulder of a female star. Every time he takes a photo with a female star, his hands are either clenched with fists or stuck in his trouser pockets, always keeping a safe distance. Every penny Li Lianjie earns from filming is kept by Li Zhi.
Jackie Chan has always been a scandal, and the news of his illegitimate son "Little Dragon Girl" has been the headline news of major media for a period of time.
Charity: All love for the public good
Although he has been working hard in Hollywood in recent years, Jackie Chan has always been concerned about domestic environmental protection and philanthropy. Starting from the establishment of his first foundation 19 years ago, Jackie Chan has launched many charitable organizations in China in recent years. He launched a "one yuan plan" campaign on his website, calling on each person to donate 1 yuan to China’s out-of-school children. For each person who donates money, he will also donate 1 yuan. Now more than 12,000 children from countries around the world have participated.
On par with Jackie Chan, Jet Li is also enthusiastic about charity, even saying: "Movies are just one of my jobs, and charity is my career." The famous "One Foundation" was initiated by Jet Li, and its philosophy is to encourage one person to donate one dollar a month to warm the earth family, mainly to support people who suffer in natural disasters and emergencies, as well as adolescent mental health problems. Since its launch on April 19, 2007, "One Foundation" has grown like a "snowball". According to statistics, in 2007, "One Foundation" received donations of 9.65 million yuan in cash, and the non-cash part was 27.98 million yuan.
Injury history competition: hard to tell
Jet Li’s degree is heavy

The same role competition: each has its own winners and losers
Huang Feihong
Tsui Hark’s version of "Wong Fei Hung" has made Li Lianjie stand on the peak of action movies, and this series of works is more regarded as "Tsui Hark’s works". Li Lianjie’s interpretation of Master Huang is introverted and shy, with unlimited interest in new things, and it is even more rare to have the demeanor of a hero who cares about the country and the people; some parts of Jackie Chan’s two "Drunken Fist" plots are indistinguishable, especially in the second one, Dillon and Anita Mui perform too well, so the impression of Jackie Chan is only stripped and hung, and the funny of the coquettish He Xiangu flicking her waist to offer wine.
Reporter’s short comment: The Li version focuses on showing the chivalrous road in the times, while the Jackie Chan version shows the growth path of a young man.
police
In the history of Hong Kong film, Jackie Chan’s portrayal of the police image is exemplary, from "Plan A", "The Story of the Police" to the recent "New Police Story", all of which have been included in the top ten most classic police roles on the Hong Kong screen. After arriving in Hollywood, the career in the "Rush Hour" series is also a police officer; many of Jet Li’s early works have served as police officers, such as "Letter to Dad", etc. In "Mouse’s Die", a character is also killed because his wife and daughter were killed, so he put down his police identity and hid on the set. In "Savior", the police identity is only to highlight the contrast between positive and evil.
Reporter’s short comment: Jackie Chan’s version of the police is a deadly professional role model, while Jet Li’s version performs more undercover tasks and cannot be shown as a police officer most of the time.
Bodyguard
It should be said that Jackie Chan’s princess in "Shanghai Noon" is a bodyguard, of course, Liu Yuling’s version of the princess is also a bit unexpected; "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" branded the banner, saying that Jet Li was Zhong Liti’s bodyguard, and the fight between Jet Li and his former comrade Ni Xing was very exciting, but the emotional clues that ended up are relatively pale.
Reporter’s short comment: These two bodyguards are more like police officers.
Chinese immigrant
Jackie Chan and Jet Li first hit Hollywood and chose "Killer Trench" and "Dragon in the End of the World" respectively, both of which showcased the life of new Chinese immigrants. Later, Jackie Chan went to the United States again, still insisting on the theme of immigration. Through "Red Fan District", it opened the eyes of the old and the United States. Li Lianjie stopped short of this.
Reporter’s short comment: Jackie Chan’s version of immigration highlights the comic effect of cultural barriers and large-scale conflicts, while Jet Li’s version reflects on the embarrassment of immigration with a tragic story.
Explorer
The "Indiana Jones" series has made adventure themes a hit. In "Adventure King", Jet Li played the role of Dr. Jones, an explorer in the stories written by comic book writers and painters. Jackie Chan played the role of a flying eagle in two "Project Flying Eagle", and the sequel "Brother Dragon" opened with the scene of Harrison Ford stealing the Golden Buddha.
Reporter’s short comment: Jet Li’s version of the explorer focuses on telling feelings and making innovations. Jackie Chan’s version of the imitation is too heavy.
Amnesiac
Jackie Chan became a mercenary who lost his memory in the first English dialogue work "Who Am I". After falling into the virgin forest, he was assimilated by the primitive tribe. The scene of sliding down from the outside of the high-rise building was thrilling, and the performance was slightly stiff. In "The Lion of the Western Regions", Jet Li also had a plot of being washed away by running water to the Indian tribal settlement. Even the thirteenth aunt couldn’t recognize it. The amnesia was very different from the previous personality, and the comedy effect was strong.
