	Jackie Chan biography
		Chan started hanging around the stuntmen and impressed them enough that he began doing stunt work on films, often without the aid of wires or nets, because many directors wanted to reduce the costs on the film.
		Chan was still finding work (mostly on the strength of his reputation as a fearless stuntman), but he spent more time at a local bar than on the set.
		Chan was also having trouble finding stunt work; with the saturation of Bruce Lee knock-offs that hit Hong Kong after his death, audiences were turning off to martial arts movies and many studios reduced their budgets or closed outright.

		Chan Kong-sang was born on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong in 1954, the son of two servants to the French ambassador.
		Despite the rigid discipline of his father, the young Chan showed a great dislike for academic study, preferring instead his lessons in kung fu and the ingestion of large quantities of food (his father was the cook at the embassy).
		Chan was frequently in confrontation with the elder students who had disciplinary power over the younger children - an echo of his days back home when he used kung fu against the local bullies, and a glimpse of his future personality.
