His opponent is still going boom, boom, boom, boom! Why? There’s such a thing as a fair game.” Why would I want to say that? It’s because I want to tell the children, “That’s a coward.” In my film, at the end, the bad people become good and there’s respect. So, in the film, I suddenly have a chance to say, “Come on, beat him up” and my character responds by saying, “No. On the internet, I see ten girls bully one girl, and they’re young children. The funny thing is, they may say, “Jackie is less educated” or “He talks too much.” But, when you see all my films, you realize that I have something to say as an actor, like I do in this film. When I direct myself, I can draw on all my years and I can do whatever I want to do. I cannot do that.” I say, “No, no, it’s okay.” Somehow I have to respect the director and respect the script, but I’m better when I direct myself.
After I back off, they set up a meeting with the producers and the director says, “Jackie, I’m an idiot. Why do you have to have such a big ego? I just want to make a good movie.” Then I back off. Most of the time I'm directing, but then suddenly one day, they go, “Hey! Cut, cut, cut! No! There’s only me.” And then I realize, “Oh, you want to show off for Entertainment Tonight. Somehow they know that Entertainment Tonight is on the set filming us. What kind of film do you want to make?” Some directors just pretend, “Oh, I want to direct.” I’ve had so many bad experiences. They’ll go, “I’ve been doing this…” And somehow they cannot compromise, “No, I want to do this.” Some directors are “Okay, go ahead. Let’s change it.” “I want to change the color.” “Can I wear different clothes?” They have to listen to me. When I start a fight, it’s like, “Okay, I want to change this,” because I don’t like the fighting sequence, or I don’t like this, or I don’t like that. When you’re an action director, you have to collaborate closely with the director. All the movies I've made, on the set, I'm almost half-director. I’m talking about Rush Hour 1, 2 and 3, Shanghai Noon, and Shanghai Knights. What made you decide to direct yourself in this film?ĬHAN: Actually, I've been non-stop directing. “Oh, thank you, Jackie!” No matter how hurt (injured) I am. When I make a film - I direct my own film, I write my own script - that’s what I want to hear from the audience. That’s what I always want, all these years. Hit the jump to see what he had to say.ĬHAN: Thank you. The film is filled with Chan’s trademark brand of action, humor, and awe-inspiring stunts including a spectacular opening with him street-luging down a steeply curved road in a rollerblading suit and an aerial landing finale on top of an active volcano.Īt a recent roundtable interview, Chan discussed his success and longevity in the action genre, why he dislikes directors with big egos and enjoys directing himself, his thoughts on multicultural casting, his announcement that this will be his last big action movie, his concerns about performing big action stunts at this point in his career, the challenges of finding the right script and adapting to digital filmmaking, the kind of films he hopes to do next, how he wants to be a role model to young people, and why he considers his film legacy a treasure and hopes his work will help promote world peace. He’s aided in his quest by his tech-savvy assistants ( Kwon Sang-woo, Liao Fan and Zhang Lanxin). Chan produces, directs and stars as a globe-trotting treasure hunter-for-hire employed by dodgy antiques mogul ( Oliver Platt).
