Rob-B-Hood is available on DVD now. I'll be watching it in the next couple of days, as should everybody else.

Here's a brief clip from the film, and just remember that Jackie is 52 years old these days!

"Don't practice kung fu just to be like Jackie Chan, there is only one Jackie Chan. Stay in school, study hard, learn about computers. Education is more important than kung fu." - Jackie Chan

How cute baby Jackie is, but you can see why his mother nicknamed him "Pao Pao" meaning Cannonball.

The DVD for Jackie's latest, "Rob-B-Hood" comes out soon. There seems to be some differences between various online stores, but the general trend seems to be between the 20th - 23rd of November.

Reviews around the internet seem to be fairly positive, though many seem dissapointed that it isn't as action oriented as you might expect from a Jackie Chan film.

From Impact magazine:
...this is a light hearted action comedy, it does feature some very nice action and stunt sequences but the majority of the film is comedy...

Chan delivers an entertaining light hearted performance and its good to see him having fun again on screen...
Read the full review here.

Below is the 3rd trailer, to save you having to navigate the utterly bizzarre official site.

What many people don't know about Jackie is that he has a hugely succesful music career (in China at least) as well as a film one. You can learn more about his music, and listen to some of his tracks at JCmusic.com.

Secondly everyone should support him in gaining the recognition he deserves, you can help my placing a supporting vote for him to awarded the Honorary Lifetime Achievement Academy Award here.

You can also watch some clips I've uploaded to Youtube of the great man.

The great rooftop finale from "Who Am I?"


And how they made it.

Jackie Chan was recentley nominated for the best actor award for his part in The Myth by the 15th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. He won the award last year for his role as Senior Insp. Chan Kwok-Wing in New Police Story.



"Those kind of scenes where you see it in 2 minutes or 1 second you think 'Wow! Jackie's good!' It's not good, you can do it. Except do you have the patience or not?"
