The below answers were culled from questions asked by press members who attended the “Dragon Blade” press conference, which you can view here.]You have an exceptional career as an actor. You started it as a stuntman, doing combat scenes and karate. Lately, however, your films are much more philosophical and have an educational aspect that highlights a peaceful China. Can you talk about that? Before, I wanted to make money… But later on, in 2. I changed. I changed my character because I am not young anymore and also because I don’t want to always make “Rush Hour,” “Rush Hour 2,” and “Rush Hour 3″… I am tired. I want to change myself. I want to be a true actor.
I want to be like the Asian Robert De Niro! Even this morning, I was walking around in the small town [of Udine] and you could see the children saying “Oh Jackie Chan!” Why can nobody see Robert De Niro in me? I wish that in ten years time people would say “Oh! Jackie Chan, he’s a good actor!” I want to be a true actor because for an action star, life is very, very short.
So, that is the reason why, for the last 1. I have tried to change myself. I want my audience to know that I am the actor who can fight and not the fighter who can act.
Jackie Chan on Why Hollywood Isn't Producing Good Martial Arts Films Anymore. Here's a complete list of all the available movies on Netflix in the US. Replicants, superheros, and reboots await you in our Fall Movie Guide. Plan your season and take note of the hotly anticipated indie, foreign, and documentary.
Also, why am I always making Chinese films? Well, because it’s the only thing I know! This is the only thing I can do so I do the best I can to promote my own country and my own culture. That’s what I’m doing! You worked on “Dragon Blade” for seven years. Can you talk about the genesis of the project and its filmmaking process? I had heard of Daniel Lee although I had never met him before. My cameraman thought I should meet him and because I trust my cameraman, I called Daniel up and – because in Hong Kong everybody calls me “Big Brother” – I said, “Daniel, I am the Big Brother, Jackie Chan” and he said “Haaa… the Jackie Chan?” I said, “Yes!” and he went, “What can I do for you?” and I said, “I want to meet you, I want to know you”.
I said, “Where are you?” and I drove to his office and we talked about finding something special. So, a month later, he called me up to do another Kung Fu cops story but I told him that I had heard of this story. So, we did a lot of research and decided to do it. And, for the filmmaking process, because we needed Romans and don’t have enough Caucasians in China, we had to go all over China to look for students in International Schools to hire them. The shooting was hard, the hours were long and we had to walk to the Gobi desert because we couldn’t drive because of the tire marks because of all the aerial shots. We also invited the press to the desert to take a look at how we were making the movie.
I asked the director at times, “Why aren’t we using the green screen today? We are wasting about a hundred- twenty buses every single day!” and he said, “No!
I want the real feeling, the people’s feeling!” Then, I realized that only two directors had made their films in the Gobi desert! The first one is Daniel Lee and the second is also Daniel Lee! Nobody else! He just loves the desert! When the sand storm would come and everybody would hide, he would just sit there in his director’s chair with loud music on…. Lalalaaaa [Chan sings] He was just so happy! Watch The Score Online (2017). He enjoyed it so much! As the director of choreography on the film, can you talk about how you devised and executed the fight scenes?
Well, before we started shooting, I asked the director what kind of style we wanted. We wanted everything to be real. The Roman fighting is very tough, very strong and there are not too many tricks. But in China, there’s a lot of flying.
It’s a different kind of fighting. Watch Online Watch Mabel`S Busy Day Full Movie Online Film. Also, we didn’t want to use special effects and flying around like in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” I don’t think the audience likes this kind of things. But, right now, there are too many movies; modern movies, period movies in which everybody is flying around… it’s ridiculous!
So, I said that we had to make a realistic movie. Nobody can jump and fly from one horse to another! Nobody can jump and fly from one roof to another!
So, when you see “Dragon Blade,” everything you see is real! We just wanted something humanly possible. Something that everybody can do but actually not everybody can do; only a stunt guy or me or some people who trained can do it! But, you believe it! In that sense, in this digital world where technology prevails, do you think there is still space and future for the real thing, for stunts like yours and the purity of the gestures of martial arts? I think, slowly, slowly, the real action’s gone. Really. Because, now we still have a few people who do the real stunts, the real action like Hong Bang, like me, like Sammo Hung and others. But, when these people are gone, when we retire, I think it’s going to be difficult because the real action is really, really difficult! But, in America they’re so good!
They’re so clever! They can use special effects and computer graphics to make everybody become an action star. Even you can be an action in America! But, I wanted to do this kind of things when I was young.
We didn’t have money and we had to do the real stunts. We had to jump from one building to the other… I cracked my feet, I broke my finger, I broke everything. But, when I made money, I had money to do special effects but the audience didn’t like it! Watch Attack Force Online Etonline. They wanted to see Jackie Chan hurt himself! They wanted to see Jackie Chan do the real thing.
They just don’t like to see Jackie do Superman. Spiderman is so easy, right? I want to do it! Directors hire me! But, no director wants to hire me to do this kind of thing. They want me to do “Rush Hour,” “Rush Hour 2” and “Rush Hour 3.” They still want me to do this kind of things but I think that after Sammo Hung, these guys and me… after we retire, the young generations will slowly change because they have already learned how to use special effects, how to use the tricks. Poor me! I will continue to do that for another five years I think, and then after five years, adios. Then, I’ll do a romance film! How do you feel about the Americanization of Chinese culture?
For how long do you think it would be possible for China to preserve its unique Ancient culture? A long time ago, I tried to bring the Chinese culture to America but that wasn’t a success. I mean, at that time there was “Cannonball Run,” “The Protector.” And I used Chinese action and Chinese culture but it just didn’t work. I think it was the wrong timing but now, over thirty years later, I went to America because America invited me.
So, when I go to America, I still do the same kind of action, the same kind of comedy and it’s the right timing, the right moment and the right mood.
