Jackie Chan's Kung Fu is "Fake" and That's Okay | Video Essay

Accented Cinema - Episode 16

It's an age old question: Can Jackie Chan fight? Many people call Kung Fu "fake", for the simple reason that its practitioner isn't the best in an MMA ring. And that, ot me, its a very narrow minded understanding of Kung Fu.

So, for this episode, I'd like to talk about how Kung Fu took over cinema, and how it has changed. And through this exploration, hopefully we can learn to appreciate Kung Fu's beauty.
