Jackie Chan grew up with Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung at the Chinese Opera Company in the 1960s.
Over the years, they have all worked together many times in many capacities.
One of the best movies to feature all three was Dragons Forever:

Like Yuen Woo Ping (who we discussed a while ago), Jackie grew up at the Hong Kong Opera school. This art form required the students to learn all sorts of martial arts styles, but all directed to show rather than for street fighting. However, Jackie also grew up poor on the tough Hong Kong streets. I would say he studied most arts but mastered none. He and his brothers are early MMA adopters. His goal was always to look good, first on stage and then on film. But I wouldn’t mess with him – he is a phenomenal athlete and very experienced as a fighter.
