Jackie Chan has reinvented the action genre with a particular brand of action cinema. He has created a distinct style of action that is instantly recognizable, mixing in a fun comedic charm to the extremely well-choreographed action beats. In addition to ruling the Chinese film markets in the 80s and 90s, Hollywood also took notice and started incorporating his action style, inspiring various filmmakers and action heroes of the industry.
Chan has amassed a significant income from all the success he has achieved with his films. The multi-talented actor/director usually presents himself as a decent man who loves films and making them. However, fans will be shocked at how he converted an abandoned factory into a spectacular posh home filled with secret doors inspired by Batman and Superman’s lairs.

He said,
When you push the glasses, that’s another secret room… I liked the, you know underground secret door when I was young. I’d seen like a Batman Superman, this kind of secret area. Actually, I have a secret door everywhere here.
