Chan is skilled in Kung-fu, acrobatics, and Hapkido. He has trained in other martial art forms such as Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, and Jeet Kun Do. During his film career, Chan has starred alongside many other martial arts stars, such as Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Hwang Jang-lee, Donnie Yen, and Bruce Lee (in Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon as a stunt double and extra).

Chan has appeared and provided the voice for his animated character in the TV series Jackie Chan Adventures which originally aired from 2000 to 2005.

In his earlier roles, Chan did all of the dangerous stunts without safety equipment. Rumble in the Bronx, which was his ultimate breakthrough American movie. He subjected his already aging body to several leaps and falls. He had a broken ankle.

His two worst injuries occurred during the making of Armour of God and Police Story. Footage was shown over the credits with a subdued and bloodied Chan in a spinal injury stretcher. A tree branch in which he was to swing off had snapped just when he jumped upon and over it. Chan fell 10 meters onto the rocky ground. In Police Story, Chan was doing a stunt where he fell about 5 to 6 stories through a series of window canopies. Instead of landing on his feet, Chan fell in a head-down position. His arms became caught in the material of the last canopy. He landed on his head first and his head was then forced on to the side as he could not break his fall with his arms. While the Police Story fall looked worse, Chan said that the Armour of God fall was the closest he has come to death while filming.
