I've been fascinated with the martial arts at a very young age. There's something deeply rooted that is more than just moves and movement. There's a spirit/a culture that lies within it all.

Jackie Chan's Chinese 12 Zodiac trailer
Supposedly, this is Jackie Chan last major (death-defying, risk taking) action film. Don't get it twisted. This won't be his last international action film. It's the last one where he's truly risking his body like back in the day (check out my previous post to get a look of what I mean). The cool thing about this film is if you've ever watched Jackie Chan Adventures in the early to mid 2000s, you'll kind of get a feel of what this movie is about. It almost reminds me of the Talisman he used to collect in his journeys throughout the world. Chan basically is a thief set out on globe-trotting, treasure-hunting adventure. It comes 12-12-12. Crazy, right? Enjoy!
Cinemassacre's Top 10 Jackie Chan fight scenes and stunts
I haven't wrote on here in a bit, but I have to say this is the perfect time to do so. I'm a HUGE Jackie Chan fan. From his 70s work up until his most recent stuff, Jackie Chan is the man. Straight up. I heard that apparently his last action film is going to be "Chinese Zodiac". I half way believe him and half way don't. Why? Well, there's still that possibly of a Rush Hour 4 coming out in a year or two. We'll see. I'm going to be sad if this is the case. I understand he's literally he's 2 years away from getting to the age of 60, but c'mon. You're Jackie Chan! You're superhuman! LOL.
This just in...I got this directly from Jackie Chan's Facebook page:
"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"
Woot! That means a Rush Hour 4 is a big possibility! Nice!
