Jackie Chan Uses Stunt Doubles?

[ZenMaster]

Stuntman Bruce Law claims that he has stunt doubled for Jackie Chan in a number of Jackie's Chinese language films. Jackie's people have said that he's only resorted to using stunt doubles in his American features because of Hollywood's safetey standards.

I think Jackie would be more inclined to use doubles now that he's older and working more in Hollywood, but I seriously doubt the claims of the stunt man. There's countless footage of Jackie screwing himself up doing all sorts of crazy ****. I call shenanigans!

Jackie has his own stunt team too and only works with his stunt team... So unless this guy is in his stunt teams, I doubt him. Fullheartedly.

Now since hes older I would understand why he would have DBLs but,
probaly more for the serious stunts.

I kinda doubt that. A lot of ending credits for his movies showed outtakes where he cocked up a stunt somehow or other. Furthermore, he's got a reputation as a super-stuntman compared to being a proper martial artist so he'd have to be a bloody good stuntman to get that reputation.

I've read that on CNN yesterday.

He'll be 53 years old tomorrow (yes, his birthday is tomorrow) and he is getting old for his own stunts. If he still want to do his own stunts, that's up to him.

part of why Chan was so popular is because he did all his own movies. but the guy is getting old. time to retire seriously before he gets himself killed.

I thought he was retiring, at least from doing action films. Jackie has said a while ago that he wanted to focus on doing dramatic films and other non-action roles.

Chan is getting old, I won't love him any less if he decides to start using stunt doubles.

You do know what Chan can't even sleep on a normal bed anymore because of his years of stunt injuries, right? Unless he wants to end up on a wheelchair, he'll use some damn stunt doubles.

If Tony Jaa doesn't need stunt doubles then neither does Chan! :buttrock: I've seen Police Story, he went through some crazy **** at that time, I bet he can still take that today >.>

Fight till you die, fear no fear, the way of the warrior! :buttrock:.....and more uncle would be nice too >.>

I dont blame Jackie for using stunt doubles now. I mean...he was old when he started doing American movies, and he's older now. He still has my undying respect. Rock on, Jackie! :buttrock:
