Jackie Chan Stunt Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jackie Chan Stunt Team (traditional Chinese: 成家班, literally "Jackie Chan's Family Group"), also known as Jackie Chan's Stuntmen Association is a group of stuntmen and martial artists who work alongside Jackie Chan.

The group originated from the relationships Jackie formed in his early starring roles in Hong Kong action movies. Several of his co-stars and stuntmen hired by the film studios began working together regularly. This engendered a familiarity of one other's skills and abilities and it made sense for them to become a working team. Some of the members had received training at the Peking Opera schools, similar to Jackie.

By 1983, and the release of the film Project A, the stunt team had become an official organization of 6 members. The organization meant that the stuntmen not only received insurance coverage, but higher pay. By the time of Police Story 2 in 1988, the team had expanded to around 20 members. This incarnation of the team was disbanded in 1990. When it was re-established there were some new faces, and some of its former members also returned.

The formation of Jackie's team influenced others in the business to follow suit, particularly his former co-stars and "brothers" Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao (their stunt teams known as "Hung Ga Ban" and "Yuen Ga Ban" respectively). Other actors to form their own stunt teams include Lau Kar-leung, Philip Ko, Stanley Tong and Bruce Law.
