Apparently Chinese authorities reckon that Rush Hour 3 is "fundamentally anti Chinese", but China's film bureau still say that the film has not been banned there, so it might just be cut to shreds in the editing room before it gets released in China.

Honestly that Chris Tucker is just too cheeky for billions of people across the world.

So it's been a while, exams took over my life for a little while. But while I was away Jackie has been working as hard as ever. He polished off Rush Hour 3, which is due to come out on August the 10th and starting filming The Forbidden Kingdom with Jet Li. (Fearless Jet's last martial epic? Didn't ever believe that one) And it seems like they're having a lovely time doing it.

Today I finally “fought” with Jet Li. It was as if we were brothers from the same kung fu school; every movement, punch, and kick was smooth – we could anticipate each others' moves, timing, and rhythm. I felt like I used to feel when I fought with Sammo Hung or Yuen Biao. Whether it was eye-contact, a facial expression, or a turn, we were very much in harmony and it was really terrific!

Which gives me pretty high hopes for the film seeing as how well the films with Jackie, Sammo and Yuen Biao turned out. Especially Wheels on Meals and Dragons forever, they are pretty much the perfect mix of comedy and action.



And in the meantime Jackie's restaurant in Hawaii, called Jackie's Kitchen, closed down. Oh well, he's never been the greatest entrepreneur.

There's a new trailer for Rush Hour 3!!
Yeah!

A clip from Rush Hour 3 was released recently It's part of the scene where Jackie and Chris fight Sun Ming Ming, the seventh tallest man on the planet, standing at an impressive 7' 9". And I'm glad to see Chris Tucker is being as cheeky as ever.

"I'm goin' to hit you in the nuts man, if you don't let me go!"

I've just put up the list of Jackie's favorite ten fights, taken from his biography I Am Jackie Chan: My Life In Action, if you haven't read it yet go out and get it now, because he has had one mighty interesting life, and if you know anything of Jackie's films and co-stars, you might just be quite shocked by some of the details in that book. I've tried to find videos on Youtube to all the fights that he mentions, but unfortunately not all of them are on there, or they do not allow embedding. So as I get round to it I will upload the videos myself (from my beautiful 52 DVD Jackie Chan boxset). So go watch Jackie's most stunning moments on film, and vote for which you think are the best in Jackie's Top Ten Fights.

Talking of Jackie Chan's new TV show, The Disciple, a clip of the official launch and announcement of the show has just cropped up on Youtube:



Though I'm a little dissapointed Jackie couldn't blow out all those candles on his birthday cake in one go.
Oh, and George Foreman's Lean Mean Grilling Machine is now Jackie Chan's Lean Mean Grilling Machine, in Asia at least.
