Martial arts man extraordinaire Jackie Chan was reunited with members of his stunt troupe from way back – and the scenes of them all coming together are pretty emotional.

The Rush Hour star hasn't seen these people in decades, and in moments aired on Chinese television his former JC Stunt Team recalled their experiences working with Chan.

It's clear he was an inspirational boss, as members of the team reveal he helped them buy houses, cars and – in the earliest days of his career – even shared his actor fee equally with his stunt doubles.

The love between Chan and his old team is clear to see, and an even better surprise takes place around the five-minute mark when Chan turns around on stage to reveal his old stunt team standing behind him.

"For forty years we've been through thick and thin, fractured bones, broken limbs," Chan said.

"Sent to hospital at 5 or 6 in the morning. No-one sees that at the theatre.

"Even as I receive the Academy Honorary Award, this Oscar is shared among us."

The actor then turns around and does a quick double take after recognising the faces of his stunt team behind him chanting "brother" – and from there things got even more teary.

It's been a good few months for Chan, who was recently awarded an honourary Oscar at the annual Governors Awards in LA in November.

"I still can't believe I'm standing here," he said at the ceremony.

"After 56 years in the film industry, making more than 200 films, after so many bones, finally… This is mine."

Congrats, buddy!
