BEST STORY EVER: Jackie Chan Picks A Fight With Bruce Lee... And Loses

George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight gets Jackie Chan's Best Story Ever: for a young martial arts performer, getting to act opposite Bruce Lee was a huge honour - and Jackie Chan got the chance on the set of 'Enter the Dragon'. But things didn't exactly go according to plan.

When Bruce accidentally hit Jackie in the head, he felt awful. Which allowed Jackie to spend a little quality time with his idol.

Jackie's in Toronto to introduce screenings of three of his classic films, 'Drunken Master', 'Police Story', and 'The Legend of Drunken Master'. All three are screening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.

George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight airs Weeknights at 7 PM on CBC Television

Jackie does all his own stunts because after getting hit in the head by Bruce Lee, he realized nothing could kill him

I love how Jackie just explained how he was fangirling at Bruce Lee

2. English
3. Sound effects

Sad that Bruce was gone not long after that movie, imagine if he and Jackie had acted in more movies together, that would have been fantastic.

[Shiggy_]

Best quote from Jackie ever! " I just wanted Bruce to hold me longer"

[joncolunga]

So it's official when Bruce Lee hit Jackie Chan he passed some of his godly power to him and made him a action movie star

Edit: When you come back to this video years later and see you have 14k likes on your comment. Well, okay then.

Jackie Chan pretending to be hurt so bruce lee would hold him longer is my favourite thing i have ever heard in my life

[honestcustomer]

if only bruce lee could have lived long enough to see what Jackie Chan would become....

[nslater]

Imagine if Bruce had lived and Jackie went on to be famous, we would've gotten some awesome team up films!

[thisisnootnoots]

Whenever you see Jackie Chan get excited he's the most outwardly happy person you'll ever see

[googiegress]

Terrible title. Should be: Jackie Chan tries to get Bruce Lee to hold him as long as possible.

[alwyslpy]

"I was fine I just wanted bruce lee to hold me" that's cute as hell

[thejunky]

Jackie Chan: "I once met Bruce Lee. Then pow pang ping bang... best story ever".

[kacatriku]

Jackie is a legend of human being... very respectful and professional.

[starmochi]

Fun fact: my grandad actually met Bruce Lee. He was an actor in Hong Kong, and he was in a movie with Bruce when he was around 8 years old, and made noodles for him once when he got hungry.

[A-Duck]

Jackie didn't actually know martial arts before this, but taking a hit from Bruce Lee gave him so much exp that the next day he had all his moves unlocked. What a touching story.
