Trivia

Prefers to do action films with strong humour streaks and physical clowning like Buster Keaton.
In the act of performing his own stunts, he has broken his nose three times, his ankle once, most of the fingers in his hand, both cheekbones and his skull.
Not only does he do his own stunts, but he is a lead-from-the-front kind of guy and expects the actors & actresses in his movies to do their own stunts as well.
Has a son, Jaycee Chan (born December 3, 1982), with wife Feng-Jiao Lin.
Most often dubs his own voice for the English release of his Asian films. He also dubs his Asian films in Mandarin.
Was to star in a film entitled "Nosebleed", but the project was canceled after the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001. He was to play a window-washer at the WTC who has to stop a terrorist plot.
In 1989, he was awarded an M.B.E.(Member of the Order of the British Empire) for his services to entertainment.
Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie.... Study computers instead.
It's very important that I get hurt [when making a movie]
I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid.
I don't want to be an action star, action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.
I have a few rules that I tell my manager: No sex scenes. No make love. The kids who like me don't need to see it. It would gross them out.
I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.
The ads all call me fearless, but that's just publicity. Anyone who thinks I'm not scared out of my mind whenever I do one of my stunts is crazier than I am.
My wish is to bring my heroes to the big screen, and many of them have already appeared in my films. The firefighter is the only one I have yet to put in a film. I have dragged this idea on for so many years, even if I want to make it, now I feel that my age makes me unsuitable. If I do make this film, I would no longer play a firefighter, and would more likely be a firefighting captain. But if I were to be honest with you, the role I want to play most is the firefighter.
