Part 2: The "Snake & Crane" Era – Finding His Voice (1976–1979)

The Bruce Lee Shadow

After Bruce Lee’s death, studios desperately tried to find the next martial arts superstar. They forced Chan into "Bruceploitation" films—angry, serious roles that did not fit his personality. These films failed at the box office, pushing Chan to reinvent himself. index of jackie chan movies

The Index – Turning Point:

• New Fist of Fury (1976) – An official sequel to Lee’s film. Chan is stiff and unhappy.
• Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow (1978) – The breakthrough. Chan met director Yuen Woo-ping. This film introduced the "Drunken Master" style of comedy kung fu. It saved his career.
• Drunken Master (1978) – The masterpiece of this era. Chan plays Wong Fei-hung as a trickster, not a hero. The final fight with the "Eight Drunken Immortals" style is legendary.
• The Fearless Hyena (1979) – Chan’s directorial debut. Rough but full of energy.

Verdict: Start here. Drunken Master remains one of the greatest martial arts comedies ever made. id (string) title (string) originalTitle (string | null)
