This is not a Review of CZ12

Posted on 02:19 by Unknown

This is not a review of CZ12 but rather just some of my thoughts for others who have seen the movie or will be seeing the movie.

This is a "Jackie Chan" movie ie it has all the elements that make up a traditional Jackie Chan movie - great stunts, lots of action, lots of humour BUT Jackie's style has matured and evolved. In a recent interview Jackie spoke about how he has reviewed his traditional fights. His fight scenes evolved from being him dissatisfied with the old way of fighting one-on-one while the rest of the group waited for their turn to fight. Jackie showed the world intricately choreographed fight scenes with many opponents attacking him at the same time. However he spoke about how that isn't realistic either. Many opponents would simply over power one person. So he has evolved back to fighting only 1 or 2 opponents for the sake of realism.

So be warned don't look for that old Jackie style of fighting.

There are a lot of messages in the movie where Jackie takes the opportunity to express his point of view. Look out for them. One of them in particular explains something that was misrepresented in the press recently.

There are a LOT of references to both previous Armour Of God movies. Look out for those too.

Watch out for a number of notable guest appearances.

Watch the outtakes at the end carefully - there is one in particular that is a surprise!

Enjoy the movie!

Jackie's Appearance in F.I.R.

Posted on 22:19 by Unknown

Jackie made an unusual and perhaps unplanned television appearance in an Indian sitcom called F.I.R..

F.I.R. is an acronym for First Information Report that Indian police prepare for each investigation. The central theme of the show is the unorthodox methods used by the characters to solve new cases.

Jackie in Hebei

Posted on 21:29 by Unknown

A group of celebrities led by actor Jackie Chan went to a remote impoverished township in north China's Hebei province on Thursday and donated three million yuan worth of clothes, quilts, medicines, food and drink to local villagers.

According to Wang Zhiyong, head of Wangjiawan township, Jackie Chan Charity Foundation donated 400,000 yuan last year to build a motor-pumped well in a village to combat the severe drought that was plaguing the area for years. The well was put into use last December and started providing water to more than 200 residents in four villages.

Jackie Chan said he got to know Wangjiawan township and its poverty from news reports and that he then called on other celebrities through Weibo, a popular social networking website in China, to donate together.

"I have to say 'thank you' to the reporters who have reported the poverty in this place. I hope they can cover more impoverished places like here. China is so big that my charity fund and I are not able to know the hardships everywhere. We can only get to know these impoverished areas through news reports. That is why I have to say 'Thank you' to the media," said Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan has devoted himself to action movies for decades. His recent movie "Chinese Zodiac 12" was on the list of China's top three of highest box office at the end of 2012. Besides his success as a movie actor, Jackie Chan is also well known for his charity. He started his charity foundation in 2008.
