Chan's first major breakthrough was the 1978 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, shot while he was loaned to Seasonal Film Corporation under a two-picture deal. Director Yuen Woo-ping allowed Chan complete freedom over his stunt work. The film established the comedic kung fu genre, and proved refreshing to the Hong Kong audience
Again, I know. Didn't know about about the kung-fu comedic genre thing but it's not like it was some big contribution anyways. Happy for him tho but yeah.

there aren't a lot of Asian actors that have universal acclaim. That probably played a big part in this too.
I'm shocked tbh. Congrats. Well deserved.
