Jackie Chan might be one of the most iconic names in cinema history, but one of his movie franchises has gone shockingly missed by all but his most die-hard fans.

From his delightful inebriated antics in Drunken Master II to his endearing charm in classics like Wheels on Meals, Jackie Chan is the master of slapstick comedy in kung fu, but as his career progressed, he branched out into more and more genres. 1n5e2w

<![CDATA[This Martial Arts Villain Actor Is Responsible For Both Of Jackie Chan's Greatest Kung Fu Movie Showdowns]] 622ty /benny-urquidez-jackie-chan-movie-villain-op-ed/<![CDATA[Charles Nicholas Raymond]]><![CDATA[Classic Movies]]><![CDATA[Jackie Chan]]><![CDATA[ Surprisingly, both of the greatest showdowns in Jackie Chan's kung fu movie history are owed to the involvement of one martial arts villain actor. ]]><![CDATA[

Although not a movie star in his own right, Benny "The Jet" Urquidez holds a special place in the history of the martial arts genre. Most of his career in the film industry was spent coordinating martial arts scenes, doing stunts, and playing bit roles in 1980s and 1990s action movies. But Urquidez managed to leave a mark regardless, and it was all thanks to his involvement in two Jackie Chan movies. Urquidez had small yet important roles in both Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever.

Jackie Chan is known for his goofy and impressive kung fu that combines serious martial arts choreography with slapstick physical comedy. His Hollywood breakthrough with Rush Hour, a 1990s action movie with great choreography, made him a household name in the States as one of the greatest martial arts actors of all time. In fact, he is largely famous for his work on-screen, with nearly 200 acting credits, but not only has he been on the scene since the '60s, which was years before Rush Hour, but he has also worked exclusively as a stuntman in a few films.

Jackie Chan is arguably the greatest kung fu action star in film history, combining stellar martial arts with death-defying stunts and slapstick comedy. However, the Rush Hour actor's earlier filmography is often overlooked for his work in the 1990s and 2000s, which is unfortunate, since some of Chan's rawest performances are found in his classic Hong Kong movies, such as the iconic Yuen Woo-ping's Drunken Master from 1978.
