Jackie Chan, an actor, and a famous martial artist has delivered some of the most unreal action performances. One man beating the whole army became normal in Jackie Chan’s era of filmmaking and acting. However, every industry has some dark sides, which the biggest stars have to face, and Jackie Chan also had one, when he had a very close encounter with death.

Jackie Chan recalled an incident of his encounter with underworld members in his autobiography. 

Two men came to Jackie Chan’s dressing room with swords

Jacky Chain details an incident when he was getting ready for a movie shot. Jacky used to keep the door of his room open for everyone. He wrote, “Normally when I was at the studio, my door stayed open.” Being the main lead, Jackie had to attend to a lot of people, hence he always preferred to keep the door open. He heard a knock on his door. Chan’s door was closed as the shot had some time left. 

It felt unusual to him. So instead of opening the door straight, Jackie glanced through the peephole. What was on the other side of the door shocked the legendary martial artist. Two men were standing with swords in their hands. “All I could see were two forty-two-inch katana swords!”, he wrote. Initially, Jackie was clueless, but he calmed his nerve. He planned a counter-attack mechanism. He wrote, “I strapped on my martial arts protective gear and grabbed the knives.”

“Cried Beneath the Covers Every Night”: Martial Arts Legend Jackie Chan Suffered a Tragic Incident as a Nine-Year-Old That Left Him in Anguish

The martial artist was confident in his skills, so he waited for any movement. Soon, the attackers went away. Jackie called his team for assistance. Two bodyguards came to his rescue, and everything got settled. However, Jackie was thanking his instincts for not opening the door. “Good thing I didn’t open the door right away as usual or I would have been chopped to death.”, he wrote in his book. 

Jackie Chan revealed the reason behind the incident

Jackie’s team soon found the two people who came for revenge were the ones who were dismissed by him earlier. The same two people had approached Jackie a day before, also. However, Jackie didn’t entertain them, as they were carrying some deadly weapons. Jackie writes in his book, “I’d embarrassed them at the studio earlier when I dismissed them, and they came back for their revenge.” 

Jackie Chan rose to prominence in the Chinese film industry. He had grabbed the global limelight back in the mid-70s. The Chinese movie industry was under the influence of gangsters and the underworld then. While the intentions of the two people remained unclear, it was fortunate that the veteran actor didn’t open the door.
