Enter the Fat Dragon opening title (RARE)
Hahah, this is actually pretty funny. There were a lot of Bruce Lee
knockoffs/parodies that happened after his death to capitalize on the craze. I remember this old tape my father got me, and it was "supposed" to be Bruce Lee
. It said Bruce Li, Bruce Lei, Bruce Le, etc. So cheap and so whack. I remember even Jackie Chan saying in an interview that directors wanted him to be the next Bruce Lee. Of course, there can only be one. Jackie Chan 
and Bruce Lee have two totally different styles which work. Anyway, one of my favorite actors has to be Sammo Hung. Here's the opening to "Enter the Fat Dragon". Pretty hilarious...

Jackie Chan: My Stunts
I particularly like this film not only because Jackie Chan is in it, but he does a great job telling his perspective on the behind scenes action - editing, stuntwork, camera work.
He goes really in depth with over 35-40 yrs of industry work..he can do it all. This made me have a great respect for him not only because he's in his 50's and still does his own stunt work - he is also very involved behind the scenes.
I never really considered the depth of how detailed and important each job of a filmmaker maybe. Jackie
goes into depth of how timing is really key with choreography and how a simple shout or grunt can be the difference in correctly timing your kick or punch or the latter: accidentally kicking your co-worker in the face or worse.
I respect Chan
for doing films the old way of actually using the little trick wire, the pennies on the glass, using knock off shoes instead of real shoes or fake props. The camera movements are so fast and the editing is on point to where you cannot readily tell that its fake or real. The whole film is posted on youtube, or you can buy it on Amazon 
or other places. Here is an excerpt from the film:

Sorry, but they would not allow an embed for the English version otherwise I'd post that instead of the url:

Karate Kid trailer
I'm a bit late posting this up, but I think this should be an interesting movie. Jaden looks like he's definitely gotten into his craft a bit more since "The Pursuit of Happyness". I was a bit skeptical and I still think they should change the title since it's clearly Kung Fu and not Karate. lol. However, I'll definitely give this movie a chance. Besides, can't beat Jackie Chan. He's the man. LOL. At any rate, check out the trailer.
It's Music Monday, so I figure I post up a few Jackie Chan songs
Um, here's one of my fav Jackie Chan songs that is from the "Who am I?"
soundtrack. I remember when I was younger - I used to sing this song ALL the time. hahaha. It was really fun, though. I can't fake. You'll see why it's very addictive. haha.
