Jackie Chan's Stunt Double

[yendi]

I am shocked, shocked that Jackie Chan might not really have done all his own stunts.

Now I want to see High Risk again.

It had been revealed that some of the movies shot here in the states had used stunt doubles because of insurance purposes. There was one of the numerous interviews on cable that Chan did where he expressed his frustration with it. Then you factor in the guy is in his 50's and has broken every major bone in his body and well...yeah, he has to slow down at some point. I'm certain he's done all his stunts in the older movies that were filmed in hong kong, the stuntman thing has only been a development in the last six or seven years...

You should want to watch it every chance you get.

Ahh, I still happily remember seeing High Risk in a theater, not all that long after it came out. Yay for college town movie theaters doing Hong Kong film fests!

Exactly. at no point is there an actual year mentioned in the article, which is... Kinda scummy.
