Mr. Smart: Jackie Chan



I haven’t ever seen any one being this much smart in his old age! Jackie Chan is an exception. He is a most famous martial artist, asia’s most paid, and the most brisk, never seen ever.

If you pay keen attention to his kicking and jumping, first time you would wonder how these things are possible to him. But, the risk and pain he takes behind the screen is horrible. The News is true that no one insurance company is ready to give Jackie, a insurance policy. They are afraid of his risk stunts.

I guess the first Jackie’s film I saw is ‘Police Story II ‘. He acted as a cop. He usually take the roll of a cop and chases smugglers. He never assists dupes. He himself acts in any challenging fight & chase scenes. He would have become world’s hero if he had been into Holly Wood. But, time didn’t make it happen. All his famous adventures are limited only within Asian countries. Only, very few of his films went to Holly Wood and they are block busters, of course. Rush Hour, Shangai Noon are some few to name.
I am, sort of his fan, and don’t miss his films!

And, yes, he has rewarded with numerous awards. He’s been the best actor in Hong kong over many years. His films were also big Box Office drawers in many Asian countries and American cities.




The wonder full films by Jackie, I have seen are: The Myth, New Police Story ,Around the World in 80 Days, The Medallion, Rush Hour I & II , Shanghai Noon , Who Am I?, Mr. Nice Guy , Miracles , Super cop , Project A II, Police Story, Drunken Master, The Young Master, Armour of God, Thunderbolt.



He is the Mr. Smart!

I too love Jackie Chan. I used to watch a program called Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. One of the episodes had Jackie as the guest. The interview was awesome. He explained like any other normal man, he had done mistakes and failed at many places. The interview was inspirational. He does those dangerous stunts because he was unaware of graphics and how it could supplement real stunts. The time he joined the film industry, there was only Bruce Lee and all his films were serious. SO Jackie invented a new concept of action with comedy which is more real. 'You hit somebody and you feel the pain an that is shown in the film and it is hilarious when he does it.' Now many great heroes learn stunt actions watching his movies.

It was his childhood that made him such a great person. His school in which he studied was very strict and his experiences in school made him very discplined.
Many people over the world love him.

Kudos Jackie!

yeah, ram. its true. he used to talk about this in many interviews. He trust things which are real. In most of his films, hero wont win every time; he will win at last after taking great pain. When jackie was asked about that, 'thats how heroes are brought up in real world and so would I" - he replied.
