    They were actually fighting in that scene... the directors let them go at it so that whole fight is real.

    This guy deserves his money. He used to use no wires or cgi, just straight up pain. No one can touch this guy not Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Chuck, Arnold, etc. The fact he is still alive just shows you how tough this guy is.

    So that means we don't get Drunken Master 3??? Well, that sucks Jackie but you keep pumping out Rush Hours 1-3, which aren't even that funny.. Maybe 2, but the rest were pretty meh....

    The best part of that scene in the candles being blown out was real. Benny's spin kick was so fast he actually did it without camera trickery or special effects.:eek:

    He was a true master of the action scene, and blows all his competition away. Amazing stuff by him and in such a creative way.

    Didn't know he was a stunt double for Bruce Lee. Good stuff...there's a reason why he's treated like a King in China.

    I'd probably put that broken ankle he got jumping onto the air-boat in Rumble in the Bronx on the list too.

    Mad respect for the work he's done and the fact that he did it himself.

    But can't say that I'm a fan of his movies.

    Lies!

    "Hello All my friends and fans, Yesterday in my press conference in Cannes for Chinese 12 Zodiac I said that this movie was my last big action movie. Today I was shocked when I woke up to read all the news coverage that I was retiring from doing Action movies. I just want to let everyone know that I am not retiring from doing action movies. What I meant to say is that I need to do less of the liferisking stuntson my movies. After all these years of doing so many stunts and breaking so many bones, I need to take better care of my body so I can keep working. I will continue to do international action movies. And I will keep improving my English :) I love all of you!"
    Jackie
