Jackie Chan admits acting in porn movie
" Jackie Chan admits acting in porn movie

KUNGFU film star Jackie Chan yesterday admitted that he acted in a porn movie 31 years ago, responding to a report revealed by Hong Kong media, Information Times reported today.

"I had to do anything I could to make a living 31 years ago, but I don't think it's a big deal, even Marlon Brando used to be exposed in his movies," Chan said.

"The porn movie at that time was more conservative than the current films," he said.

Hong Kong netizens tipped local media that Chan was in the porn movie "All in the Family" in 1975, with a porn movie star who was famous at that time.

The Hong Kong made movie, directed by Zhu Mu, was defined as a comedy. Dean Shek, Tien Chun, and Sammo Hung were also co-stars. " http://www1.shanghaidaily.com/art/2006/09/19/292401/Jackie_Chan_admits_acting_in_porn_movie.htm

Maybe add this to the Trivia section?


 * Write it in a non-copyright-violative, WP:NPOV manner, and I'd say yes (and cite the article as source). --Nlu (talk) 05:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

This is not a porn movie, its an erotic film, dont mix up one for the other.

Yuen Lou
Yuen Lou redirects here, but the name is not mentioned in the article, either the redirect should be removed or the name should be added somewhere to the article (whatever/whoever it is)--62.251.90.73 21:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The name "Yuen Lou" looks to be just a variation of "Yuen Lo", the name Jackie used under his sifu at the opera school. Gram 14:54, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Correction to Trivia Section
I'm correcting one line in the Trivia section. The article mentions the ending theme for "Rumble in the Bronx" in the U.S. release was a Tom Jones cover of Kung-Fu Fighting. This is incorrect - that song was in the ending credits of the U.S. release of "Supercop." The song used for Rumble in the Bronx was "Kung Fu" by the band Ash. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_%28song%29 Dexeron 15:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

World Trade Center
I heard a rumor a few years ago that Jackie Chan was supposed to be shooting for some film on top of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001, but for some reason or another the shoot was delayed. I just googled it and came across this article - http://www.snopes.com/rumors/jackchan.htm  Is this worth a mention in the trivia section? Funkadillo 19:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Nationality
I heard from Wikipedia he was Australian. Is this true? Link: "Jackie Chan - actor (Australian citizen)"
 * Which site? Do you have a link? Luke! 10:07, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * JC was born on Hong Kong. His parents were from Hong Kong. His father moved to Australia to gain employment & Australian citizenship. Part of the reason Jackie was enrolled at the Peking Opera School was to keep him in line during his fathers absence. His mother moved there shortly thereafter, whilst JAckie was still at the school. After a stilted start in the stuntman business, he joined his parents in Australia, gaining employment working on the building sites. I believe he lived in Australia for two short periods. He is definitely not Australian by birth or lineage, and I it is highly doubtful that he has dual nationality, as Chinese authorities do not recognise "dual nationality". So on returning to Hong Kong, he would have had to declare himself as Australian and give up his original HK Chinese nationality for this to be true.

I may be wrong, but it seems extremely unlikley. Gram 15:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Injury List
I think the injury list section is pretty poor. I fixed the links to most of the films, but there are other issues with it. It could be re-written as a couple of paragraphs citing the worst injuries in a handful of films rather than a full list. If people prefer a full list it should probably be in chronological order, not alphabetical.

Beyond that, it needs to be re-written. The wording in phrases like "Hurt eye when pop-it went off near it" and "Got Glass Shards lodged in his butt" are not really appropriate for an encylopedia. What the hell is a pop-it anyway?

If you have "almost died of hypothermia" listed under a film (First Strike), is it really worth listing under the same film insignificant things like "cut finger"? And in a list format, I don't think almost-injuries are worth listing at all (Twins Effect: "He just had a cameo, but almost got his leg ran over!"). In a paragraph format, you could mention this, but Chan almost gets severely injured on pretty much every film he appears in, but if he doesn't actually get injured, it shouldn't appear in a list of actual injuries.

I think we should get rid of this section altogether, we will never know each injury Jackie has had from each film! The best thing in my opinion to do is to write a small paragraph stating that Jackie has been injured many times, mention Armour of God incident and then maybe some smaller ones - but a whole list is never gonna work!

I am adding to this, I saw a few spelling mistakes in this section, more like words spelled right but in the wrong word. It needs improved or removed...

===> Still, I found it impressive. I've just read this article at random and I was totally impressed by the long list of injuries. I had no idea. Of course I had seen a few of the injuries at the end of various movies, but my opinion as a totally utterly non-JC-expert is that this info is useful. I could imagine it in another form, but "many injuries" or "more than so many injuries" or "three almost fatal injuries" sound from vague to indifferent to me. Also regarding the "cut finger" or "sprained ankle", I found it funny. There was a movie where he sprained his ankle and had another "minor" thing and I immediately thought that surprisingly he made it though at least one movie in a pretty good shape. With every added injury, I was wondering if I should name this guy dedicated or crazy :) Moreover, I subconciously started counting the broken noses and I really wished for dates next to the movies (I did not search to see if they are chronologically ordered) in order to see the order under which he tortured his body. I'm just a random reader, and these are my two pennies.

Other languages
Can somebody who can read them please label the other languages used in the lead as on other non-English biographies? e.g. Sammo Hung Cheers, SteveLamacq43 17:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * yeah can you please be more clear about what you really meant by that? Realdan 12:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late reply; I meant could somebody please write the first sentence on this article the way in which the Sammo Hung is written: (Traditional Chinese: 洪金寶; Simplified Chinese: 洪金宝; pinyin: Hóng Jīnbǎo; Cantonese: Hung4 Gam1 Bou2). I think it would be quite helpful to identify the languages used to non-speakers like myself. Thanks. SteveLamacq43 14:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Music
Chan is also a major pop star in Asia and has released over 100 song titles in 20 albums since 1984.

Which Movie is really the final fight between Benny Urquidez and Jackie Chan? Dragon Forever or Wheels on Meals?
Wheels on Meals was filmed on 1984 while Dragons Forever was filmed on 1988. How could Wheels on Meals be the final fight between Jackie Chan and Benny Urquidez? User: Ken Seng1991

it's the final fight as in end boss battle, in reference to that film only.

Interesting Facts Section
Can someone add this to that section:

"The famous Tekken video game character Lei Wulong was inspired by Jackie Chan."
