Beschreibung | Fang Shilong SBS MBE PMW (born 7 April 1954), known professionally in English as Jackie Chan and in Chinese as Cheng Long (Chinese: 成龍; Jyutping: Sing4 Lung4; lit. "becoming the dragon"), is a Hong Kong actor, filmmaker, martial artist, and stuntman known for his slapstick acrobatic fighting style, comic timing, and innovative stunts, which he typically performs himself. Chan has been acting since the 1960s, performing in more than 150 films. He is one of the most popular action film stars of all time. |
I now have two different audiences. There's the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years, and the American family audience. American jokes, less fighting.
When I got depressed, I watched Bruce Lee movies. I learned everything from Bruce Lee.
I love wushu a lot and I would love to see it included in future Olympic Games.
I like to change characters and then, slowly I believe the audience treat me as, like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.
For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies.
I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not. I'm really confused now.
I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.
I really like children to watch my movies.
The movie business is a big gamble.
When I was young I didn't care about education, just money and box office.
Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.
Money for me today does not really matter.
Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.
I've choreographed all of my movies.
I think the family movie is very important to everybody right now.
American stuntmen are smart - they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance... But in Hong Kong, we don't know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you've got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.
