At the age of eight, Jackie Chan made his movie debut in a Cantonese movie called "Seven Little Valiant Fighters: Big and Little Wong Tin Bar." He was a student in the China Drama Academy at the time.
Although now Jackie is a famous international star, it was not a smooth journey. After graduated from Drama School, Jackie worked as stuntman in Hong kong for a few years and then moved to Australia to live with his parents because it became difficult to get a stunt job in Hong kong.
Jackie worked in restaurants and construction sites while he was in Australia. In 1976, he was called back to Hong Kong for a new movie - New Fist of Fury. This film gave Jackie a good start in his movie career. Jackie was 21 years old at the time.
