Jackie Chan’s stunt team members from 1976 to today in a complete overview

Jackie Chan’s stunt team members from 1976 to today in a complete overview

21. September 2019 Off By Thorsten Boose

[last update on 24 December 2022]

The 1970s were the heyday of the Eastern genre. Stuntmen were in demand, but were treated more as props than stars on film sets. Jackie Chan wanted to change that and founded the “Sing Ga Ban” (成家班), his own stunt team, with a few friends and colleagues in 1976. The Sing Ga Ban, which translates as family class, from then on advocated better working conditions for stuntmen and got himself and his team more work in films.

This team, also known as the “Jackie Chan Family”, still exists today. Only here you can find the current list of all members and interesting background information.

About this list

The Jackie Chan stunt team has changed a lot since its inception in 1976: Members joined, others left, again some died too soon and some members were forgotten for various reasons. This list is updated every time the group changes.

The fact that some photos are missing is because some stuntmen only appeared as doubles or behind the camera, especially in the 8th and 9th generation, and therefore cannot be identified in the films. Many of the middle generation (6th to 8th) are on Chinese and Western social platforms, but to protect their privacy, I will not use the profile photos they upload there for my list.

Here, you will only find screenshots as small quotes from films or TV series in which the respective persons have participated. For others, I was kindly given permission to share certain photos upon request.

The order presented here is based on the current order that can be admired in Jackie Chan’s autobiography “I Am Jackie Chan” (我是成龙), which was first published in Chinese on 21 September 2022.

Since I have updated this list again and again over the past years, using various official sources, I also leave these in the individual person entries. In this way, changes from source to source can also be recognised and checked.

A first official list with fixed numbers was previously available in the original edition (and only there!) of Jackie Chan’s autobiography “Growing Old Before Growing Up” (还没长大就老了) from 2015. The list in Jackie Chan’s museum, the Jackie Chan Film Gallery in Shanghai, which has since been closed, can also be traced.

The Sing Ga Ban (成家班)

Jackie Chan’s stunt team has had a variety of names and spellings over the decades. It was founded in 1976 as 成家班 (Sing Ga Ban), which means family class. Jackie’s endeavour at that time was to gather a group of like-minded people. This created a camaraderie, almost a family spirit which is why the colloquial term “Jackie Chan Family” has become established to this day.

In the 1980s, when Jackie’s films enjoyed greater commercial success thanks to Golden Harvest, logos were designed, team shirts printed and trucks wrapped. Common names at the time were Jackie Chan Stunt Team, JC Stunt Team, Jackie Chan Stuntman’s Club, Jackie Chan’s Stuntmen Club, Jackie Chan Stuntmen Association (sometimes with HK for Hong Kong as a suffix) and any number of variations thereof.

During the strenuous filming of “Armour of God II – Operation Condor” (1991), it was announced that the team was disbanding. There were many reasons for this, but the team reunited a few months later with a new structure. And from 2010, the team name was changed to “成龍國際特技隊”, Jackie Chan’s International Stunt Team.

For the sake of simplicity, I will abbreviate the Jackie Chan Stunt Team as JCST in the following article. This is an unofficial spelling that is becoming more and more popular internationally.


The 1st generation

1976-1981

Legend has it that during the filming of Jackie’s second film for Lo Wei, “Shaolin Wooden Men” (1976), the formation of the JCST took place. In Jackie’s autobiography, the updated 2017 Oscar edition, only three members are attributed to the first generation. The list has since been adjusted.

Incidentally, Jackie Chan was only mentioned as the first founding member in his museum; after that, however, he cleared the field as Big Brother and the list starts at number one without him. Of course, Jackie Chan was and still is the head of the troupe.

The 2nd generation

1982-1986

The second generation of JCST underwent some of the biggest changes in the Hong Kong film industry. The typical Easterns that had been popular for decades and set in the Qing Dynasty were given a makeover and moved into the modern era. This also affected the fight choreography and stunt work, which became increasingly dangerous in the 1980s. And yet the pioneers of the first generation were able to keep up because of their respective backgrounds.

The 3rd generation

1987-1991

The third generation once again brought to the screen some faces that Hong Kong film fans still recognise today. Ken Lo was quickly chosen as Jackie’s personal bodyguard thanks to his past as a professional martial artist and bouncer. It is interesting that no mention is made of William Duen Wai-Lun (段偉倫). From 1988 to 2003, William Duen was Jackie’s bodyguard as well as his personal driver, but he is said to have been too harsh in criticising his boss and the practices of his wife and business partner Joan Lin Feng-Chiao, so he had to leave.

William Duen often had smaller roles in Jackie’s films; why he is not listed as a stuntman is discussed in more detail at the end of the article.

However, he returned in 2004 for “Around The World In 80 Days” (2004) for his former boss Jackie Chan, playing one of the Scorpion fighters with other teammates from his generation and the one before.

Around 2009, after the restructuring of the JC Group, Ken Lo and Jackie Chan parted ways rather unpleasantly – little was commented on by Ken Lo. Nevertheless, they continued to work together, for example in “Chinese Zodiac” (2012), “Who Am I 2015” (2015) and most recently more or less in “All U Need Is Love” (2021).

The 4th generation

1992-1996

Yes, even Stanley Tong is part of the Jackie Chan stunt team, and a very important one indeed, for it was Stanley Tong who insisted on finally introducing sound film for Hong Kong actioners in 1991. Fact: As a rule, Hong Kong action films were mostly shot without original sound and only later dubbed by different voice actors in the studio!

So in 1992 there was a real technical revolution with “Police Story III – Super Cop”, which was supplemented with a linguistic revolution in 1994. In order to be more internationally marketable, “Rumble In The Bronx” (1995), the next Chan/Tong vehicle, was shot for the most part in English. To this day, Stanley Tong is an enormously important member of the JCST and one of Jackie Chan’s favourite directors, with whom he collaborates from time to time.

Stanley Tong originally wanted to study medicine, but then decided to study engineering in Winnipeg (Canada) and returned to Hong Kong in 1979 to gain a foothold in the film business with the help of his brother-in-law. This brother-in-law was none other than Lo Lieh (羅烈), who took Stanley Tong’s sister Tang Jia-Li (湯加麗) as his second wife.

First collaboration in a film: no films together

Strangely, there are very few films in his filmography and none by/with Jackie Chan. Wang Tong-Chuan joined the team at a time when it was actually disbanded and re-established months later under a new structure. Perhaps this led to a change in thinking, so that he changed his name and still lives as a freelance artist in Beijing (China).

The 5th generation

1997-2001

Stanley Tong and Jackie Chan’s plan to become more internationally recognised and respected in film had worked. It was time for the JCST to become more international in the next generation as well. Bradley James Allan and Paul Andreovski were the first non-Asians to join the team. The two Australians joined on location during filming of “Mr. Nice Guy” (1997) and quickly became important key figures in Jackie’s stuntman chess. Another novelty was provided by the first stuntwoman in the team: Yu Hao Er (于浩儿), also known as Angel Yu.

Brad Allan, a former wushu champion, was the team’s first Western stuntman and befriended Andy Cheng during the filming of “Mr. Nice Guy” (1997) in his native Australia. Their friendship was to last until Brad Allan’s tragic death. Like Andy Cheng, Brad Allan was strongly influenced by Jackie Chan and his spirit, so that he too was able to boast a successful filmography in Hollywood as an action and stunt director.

Marvel honoured him for his life and work with “in loving memory of Brad Allan” in the film “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (2021).

The film workshop is part of Jackie Chan’s “Jackie Chan Movie And Media College” (成龙影视传媒学院), a film college in Wuhan for the promotion of young Chinese talent.

The 6th generation

2002-2006

This probably represents the smallest generation of the JCST with just four new members. It was a difficult time for Jackie Chan and his stunt team, as the balancing act between Hollywood and Hong Kong productions became increasingly difficult. Although many films with Jackie Chan and several generations of the JCST were made during this time, the market in Hong Kong was slackening more and more. This led to Jackie Chan having to join the much larger Chinese market.

Further meetings led to a job offer as a martial arts coach on Jackie’s TV show “The Disciple” (龙的传人) (2007-2008) and becoming a permanent member of the JCST.

The 7th generation

2007-2011

In the seventh generation, Jackie Chan finally arrived in his new adopted country of China (Beijing and Shanghai), both commercially and emotionally, after the separation of his best friend and manager Willie Chan and the restructuring of the JC Group. Thus, with this generation, he not only consolidated his “regional factor” and engaged young talents from the People’s Republic, but also reached out to Europe for the first time. With Max Huang and Andy Long, the first two European, German, stuntmen were welcomed to the team. Furthermore, Taekwondo champion and model Zoe Zhang as well as Wang Dan were brought in as additional stunt women for stunt work and their own film vehicles.

The 9th generation

2017-2021

The last generation of the JCST for now will also be international with some firsts. Why members like Lee Huang and Marvin Bouvet are placed so far down the list according to the latest source, Jackie’s 2022 autobiography “I Am Jackie Chan” (我是成龙), even though they have been doing projects for and with their boss for quite some time, remains to be unknown for now. However, this generation suffered big problems and still does when very young talents were recruited from China from 2019 and got no or few opportunities to succeed so far because of the global crises. This will hopefully change soon.

The Long Yun Kung Fu Troupe (龙韵武艺团), now fully integrated into the Sing Ga Ban, has also had its difficulties travelling internationally. Many of their European stage shows, including in Germany, had to be cancelled at short notice.

Anniversary: Will there be a 10th generation?

All but the very first generation of the Jackie Chan stunt team span a period of four years. Therefore, it is theoretically possible that preparations and recruitments for the anniversary generation are already underway, because according to the calculations, this would have to have started in 2022 and last until 2026. As described above, these events may be protracted due to the ongoing global crises.

It should also be mentioned that in the past many dates were officially adjusted by the JC Group again and again: New members that were once forgotten were added, year dates were adjusted, the order of the individual members was changed. And indeed, the most recent source, Jackie’s autobiography “I Am Jackie Chan” (我是成龙) from 2022, on which this list is based, contains many small errors and one major blunder with a double entry.

So I personally expect that we will continue to get more data on the JCST in the future and perhaps a few of the errors printed in the book will be corrected for international editions.

A final note: Not all data, of course, was taken from the book. This list is the result of countless hours of research from many sources to present the most error-free data collection for the JCST possible.


Wasn’t there …?

Over the course of decades, Jackie Chan did not only work with his own people, of course. As early as the 1980s, Jackie’s team met Sammo Hung’s for some successful films that are now classics of Hong Kong cinema. Thus, stuntmen were sometimes lent out for certain tasks, even to third parties.

In the 90s and especially after the breakthrough in Hollywood, the JCST worked more and more with “outsiders” or martial artists who had already earned a name for themselves as stuntmen. Project-wise, there was a collaboration with the Sing Ga Ban, but it takes more to be considered an official member.

It should also be mentioned that over the years, thousands of applicants unfortunately did not make it into the team. This in turn means that this list represents the ultimate members within the “Jackie Chan Family”. In Jackie’s autobiography “I Am Jackie Chan” (我是成龙) from 2022, he writes exactly that and thanks all the applicants who even after that continued to pursue their careers and occasionally crossed paths with the JCST.

Here are just a few of the names that are often mentioned in connection with the JCST.

Jonathan Foo, aka Jon Foo, was cast by Jackie Chan for his production of “House Of Fury” (2005) and “The Myth” (2005), but is not considered a permanent member. In 2016, he landed the lead role as Jonathan Lee in the cancelled TV series “Rush Hour”, based on Chan and Tucker’s film series. For that, here‘s my mega-review!

Tomer Oz, the Israeli martial artist, opened his own martial arts school in China and was hired by Jackie Chan for some of his films, including “Dragon Blade” (2015), “Skiptrace” (2016) and “Vanguard” (2020).

William Duen Wai-Lun (段偉倫), was Jackie Chan’s bodyguard alongside Ken Lo for many years, as well as his personal driver. Rumour has it that he and his boss had such a falling out that he was dishonourably dismissed from the team. In any case, he is not mentioned in the official Sing Ga Ban lists, even though he proved his talent in front of the camera on several occasions.

Joe Eigo, the Canadian martial artist and stuntman, often trained with the members of the fifth generation, but he was never officially accepted.

Tai Bo (太保), a well-known face of Hong Kong cinema in the 80s and 90s, was a long-time member of the Jackie Chan stunt team (some sources list him among the first generation, but he is more likely to be a member of the second). Tai Bo was also present at the anniversary celebration. Why he was forgotten or deliberately omitted from the official lists is not known.

I could list dozens more talents at this point, but we’ll end with these brief mentions who worked and occasionally still work with Jackie Chan and his stunt team, but are not part of the official team: Paul Philip Clark, Pierre Boudard, Mathieu Jaquet, Brahim Chab, Mak Wai-Cheung, Cheng Chi-Ho, Michael Tse Tin-Wah, Andy Kay, Colin Flora, Andy Owen, Dani Hu, Jack Wong Wai-Leung, Peng Zhang, Russ Price, Ulrik Bruchholz, David Torok, Rima Zeidan, Alicia Woodhouse, Alexey Minaev, Allan Keng, Kwan Yung, Alex Yip Choi-Nam, Jung Jin “J. J.” Park.

The fact that these talents are not part of the JCST in no way diminishes their passion for what they do and, more importantly, do it successfully. Whether they are official applicants or occasional contributors, each and every name holds a fascinating filmography that deserves all the respect it can get.


A huge thank you goes especially to the JCST and all the members (former and active) who always kindly and courteously answer all my nerdy questions about Sing Ga Ban and beyond. I hope to be able to report more about you stunt heroes and stunt heroines in the future.

Likewise, thank you to my readers who gave me useful advice on a few spelling errors after publication. In addition to those who would like to remain anonymous, I would like to mention here: Fabian Schweitzer, Franziska Li (Yuanshan Li, 李苑珊), Florian Krapp and J.J. Hayden.
