Why is bruce lee regarded as the undisputed GOAT martial arts actor when jackie chan exists

[get these nets]

Because most people respect pioneers. Bruce Lee broke down barriers in America and across the globe for Asian actors, martial artist actors, and action films.

Jackie got his break because Bruce created such a global interest in the genre that studios were scrambling around trying to find the next Bruce.

Michael Jackson was the most celebrated entertainer of all time, but look at the footage of him paying respect and homage to James Brown.

Same reason people consider Rakim, Biggie, PAC, better than someone like Jay, Nas, 50, Gucci l, Cole anyone….. nostalgia and impact.

but no. Bruce was the goat in his time and we would not have a Jackie without a Bruce. But Jackie is the man

 

[Doobie Doo]

Because Bruce broke that glass celling. His Impact was really large. Jackie and Jet are both Legends and have a longer catalog of Classics than Bruce. But he's the GOAT. Also Bruce already got Jackie, lol:

Honestly I think Jackie is more cherished internationally and Bruce Lee is more championed in America because he broke the glass ceiling and made kung fu "mainstream" to Americans.

Exactly

Jackie is more versatile and just overall better actor as well. He was the first to make martial arts movies less rigid and more fun

He's produced many classics like

super cop

drunken master

wheels on meals

Rush hour

mr nice guy

No Rumble in the BRONX? !


What's the flick where he slid down the side of a building...and some cac got ran over by an inflatable watercraft or some shyt on the street.

Now Jackie aint a pioneer even though him, Yuen Biao, and Sammo Hung revolutionized Hong Kong Cinema and gave us the modern blueprint for those flicks

 

[Action Mike]

Jackie has more classics

But MJ is regarded as a greater figure/musician than James Brown, being a pioneer is not enough to earn the GOAT status, there are other criterias that must be met.

Jackie and Jet killed this fight. Went to the theater just to watch them battle. They both went in but I feel people are still sleeping on Jet.

i feel Jackie was just too big during Jet’s run where you more so appreciate Jet in retrospect.

James Brown is one of the central figures in the history of music. By impact and influence, he can arguably be considered GOAT in his own right.


The GOAT's GOAT.
