Before streaming services and YouTube, a generation of Tamil kids fell in love with martial arts thanks to one man: Jackie Chan. Whether it was a Sunday afternoon on Sun TV or a rented DVD from the local store, his blend of comedy and death-defying stunts transcended language barriers. The Tamil dubbing industry played a huge role in this, giving him catchy localized titles and memorable voice-overs.
