Jackie Chan’s Life-Altering Fall Martial arts icon Jackie Chan, famous for performing his own stunts, has endured numerous injuries throughout his career. However, one accident during the filming of Armour of God in 1986 was particularly severe and left a permanent mark. It was almost his last performance.

A Permanent Reminder of Danger While executing a stunt for Armour of God in 1986, Chan fell from a cliff. He landed on his back and struck his head on a rock. He required immediate hospitalization but recovered. The injury left him with a hole in his skull, which he covers with a plastic plug.
