    Link.

    I can understand that he's getting older, but it's a shame that he completely quits doing action movies instead of taking roles that don't have any dangerous stunts to perform.

    Also, looking at De Niro's movies from the last decade I wish Jackie that his dream about being an Asian version doesn't come true, because it'd be only a big disappointment to him.

    He clearly needs time to focus on his reboot of Jackie Chan Adventures.

    Shame. I still remember, how his leg was broken at some point during the shooting, and he still had continued with action scene with a cast on his leg.

    Gotta admit the guy was impressive.

    Jackie Chan is still one of my favourite action film actors and will remain so for the foreseeable future. I wouldn't mind seeing if he could do well in less action oriented films though. He seems to be the type of guy that would do well with learning to act in ways that aren't typical to his genre, so I'll probably see his next movie in the cinema.
