Word. That was like the last ill cartoon that I HAD to watch on a weekly basis. "One maw thing".

Its crazy all the death defying stunts he did no nets, no harness.

2 words ...

police story

I'm not surprised, the man starred in alot of action pack movies in his prime. As he got older his movies catered to a younger crowd and required an over usage of special effects. Like the movie the karate kid, the tuxedo, which made me stop looking at his movies in total.  

 

[crazy dav0]

there won't be anyone like him at the box office but i'd pay top dollar to watch tony Jaa ... i don't care how bad the plot is or how many elephants he has to save

So I am guessing there won't be a Rush Hour N

 

[Gill Baka Esq. LLC.]

one of the best that ever did it.

 

[Mark Antony]

Maybe his stuntman will take over.

 

[S3NTINEL2001]

really the end of an era

 

[Mister Meaner]

The greatest martial arts movie star ever IMO.

And I've still got a few movies I've never seen from him, which I'm excited about.

Jackie Chan > Bruce Lee

Rush Hour 3 single-handedly killed the franchise.

Damn, dude was one of the GOAT. Even his animated show, Jackie Chan Adventures, was piff.

 

[dauldierce]

Yeah i knew he was done when he was in "The Karate Kid" with jaden Smith and he fought all the little asian kids... it was like 6 of dem.... he looked like he was dancing but was fighting.

 

[airjordan jb23]

One of the best

Can't even be mad.

All those stunts must've caught up to him. Interesting to see what kind of roles he'll get. I'll still watch his films no matter the role.

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 life risking stunts on 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
