An article published by Phoenix Weekly has exposed what it calls a long-standing falsehood:
'Jackie Chan’s claim that he never uses stunt doubles. The piece, titled “Jackie Chan Lied—This Is His Dedicated Stunt Double”,
reveals that many of the high-risk action sequences for which Chan is famous were, in fact, performed by professional doubles.
Renowned Hong Kong action director Law Lai-yin, who has an intimate understanding of Chinese stunt choreography,
disclosed that he himself had served as Chan’s double. According to Law, the notion that Chan performs all his own stunts is
a “beautiful lie.” From the beginning of his film career, Chan has relied on stunt doubles throughout.
