I remember a story Jackie Chan told about Bruce Lee. Jackie was in one of Bruce’s movie playing a nameless thug attacking Bruce. Bruce accidentally hit Jackie in the head instead of missing him, as was scripted. Jackie went down like a sack of potatoes, and Bruce continued the scene until the director yelled Cut, and Bruce threw down his weapon and ran over to where Jackie was lying, dazed. Jackie admitted he embellished his injury a little to Bruce because he said that Bruce holding him just felt so good. Bruce got Jackie’s name and helped Jackie with getting work in his movies.You can read a version of this at https://screenrant.com/jackie-chan-bruce-lee-fist-fury-true-story/If you can find the video of Jackie telling the story himself, it’s worth watching.
