In Hong Kong in the last century, Golden Harvest was the film company with the most international vision.

In the early 1970s, Golden Harvest supported Bruce Lee's journey to Rome, and directed and acted in "The Raptors Crossing the River". The ending Bruce Lee and Lawless's duel at the Colosseum is unforgettable. Later, Golden Harvest co-produced Bruce Lee's "Dragon Fighting Tiger" with Hollywood, which was equally successful.

After signing Jackie Chan with a lot of money, Jiahe couldn't wait to push him to Hollywood and filmed "Hillman" and "Victorious Detective". Unfortunately, Hollywood did not allow Jackie Chan's pulse, and both films failed.

The frustrated Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong, determined to make his own international blockbuster and strengthen his position as the "Asian King", Jiahe supported.

Later, we saw the "Flying Eagle Project" filmed in the deserts of Europe and Africa.

"Police Story 3" flying in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"Red Zone" running on the streets of Canada.

"A Good Man" chased in Australia.

"Police Story 4" skiing in Russia...

Among Jackie Chan's series of international blockbusters, "Who Am I" is undoubtedly the best. The opening scene of the African scene is eye-catching, and then the story is transferred to Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In addition to Jackie Chan’s amazing jump in the Maersk Building, the local government also supported Jackie Chan’s filming free of charge, sealed five streets, dispatched helicopters, speedboats, and lifted off.

In fact, compared with Hollywood dominating "Rush Hour" and "Shanghai Noon", Jackie Chan-style blockbusters of this period really established Jackie Chan's position as an international superstar. Even Van Diesel couldn't help but sigh: He (Jackie Chan) was the long-term study and pursuit target of the entire Western filmmakers.
