Forbes says Jackie Chan is officially a generous man.Well I could have told you that from his cheery lined face.

Recently, after learning about a girl suffering from lukemia, Jackie sent out a plea over the internets to seek a bone marrow donor. and happily one has now been found. But was there ever really a little girl? Was there ever any lukemia? Or did Jackie just want to consume the bone marrow himself to bolster his already might immune system?No, but many in Hong Kong may think otherwise after Jackie

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.BBC News

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 “

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

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.

Jackie recentley announced the search for a new Jackie in a reality TV show that will start in March next year. 10 winners will be selected to appear in films produced by Jackie Chan China Movies Corporation. Jackie seems to have some pretty steep criteria:It is also a must to be familiar with water skiing, skiing, parachute jumping, fencing, singing, dancing, and acting. As for acting, the

I just read a little news article about a stuntman claiming to have doubled for Jackie Chan.A Hong Kong stuntman has said that he's doubled for Jackie Chan, sparking discussion about the action star's reputation of performing his own daredevil moves.Stuntman Bruce Law said in his Chinese-language blog that he's doubled for stars including Chan, Chow Yun-fat, former Bond girl Michelle Yeoh and

I just read an interesting bit of news that Jackie is going to be awarded the lifetime achievment award by the Hong Kong Dance Alliance.His achievement in body movement art is brilliant. Mr. Jackie Chan incorporated diverse body movements into movies, facilitating exchange between martial arts and dance. Everyone can see for themselves the creativity of this unique movie language.And if you

But a teaser trailer for Rush Hour 3 has just been leaked, and I have to say it's pretty poor. Of course it's just a teaser but still the singing clip looks very much like a "make Jackie and Chris a ridiculous song for the hell of it". Well, I'm sure the film itself will be fantastic, I have faith.

An update about the previous post about Ron Smoorenburg, in his forum he also had this to say on the topic of Jackie Chan:It was hard indeed to get Jackies Rhytm, but Sam WOng told me after working 15 years with him, he'ss stil nervous when he has to fight Jackie because he's very demanding.But professioal of coarse. I dont like the way Jackie treats people as a person. As an artist he's good.(

I never quite realized the extent to which Jackie has experimented with other businesses, he can just afford to start something that looks fun, and not care whether it make a profit or a loss. As well as the recent launch of his organic skin care line, he's also dabbled in: restaurants, night clubs, sports car tuning, wine and is of course heavily involved in charity work.The most interesting of

Jackie updated his website with a couple more messages recentley and announced that, "The Myth has been purchased by an American distributor and will be released theatrically sometime in 2007."The Myth looks like an amazing film, though quite a depature from the usual Jackie Chan style. It recieved nominations in the 25th Annual Hong Kong film awards for: best picture, best action design, best

Just a brief excerpt from a really interesting article on Jackie from the Bright Lights Film Journal.I am most impressed with Jackie's patience. His perfection requires patience and his patience yields perfection. Jackie and Ken spent almost two hours and did twenty-one takes to get one sequence of fight movements. Ken would usually make a minor error, forcing another take, but not once

Rush Hour is one of the true classics of Jackie's modern films. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker make the perfect buddies for a buddy comedy. One of the best scenes is Jackie singing War, nothing makes me happier than seeing Jackie and Chris dancing down the street together.Rush hour 3 is still filming and is set to come out on the 10th of August. Apparently there were rumours that Jean Claude Van

A little bit of news from the set of Rush Hour 3 accompanied by a couple of pearls of wisdom from Mr Chan."The good news is…Chris Tucker is sick, which means we all have a day off. Last night, he told me he wasn’t feeling well. I noticed that several times he put his hands to his throat. He also seemed more quiet than usual.We have been filming in a hospital for the last two days. Although it

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 ChanHow 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

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

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!'
