Abstract:
When we first think of Jackie Chan, the thought of an male action super star pops
into our head. However, we know he is not like the others, like James Bond, Mel Gibson
or Jason Statham. Rather than relying on objectification of women, and flashy over the
top action scenes using stunt doubles. Chan brought a refreshing perspective on
masculinity when he stepped into Hollywood. The point of my research is to observe
how Chan formulated his own definition of what it means to be a man on the silver
screen due to his own unique philosophy.
