Jackie Chan

I don't know if you have heard of him but Jackie Chan's world record just doubled. Jackie Chan is now recognized for most stunts by a living actor and most credits in one movie. He was just presented with two Guinness World Record certificates during an event in Shanghai. At this event, Jackie Chan said, "Achieving these Guinness World Records titles is recognition of all my life's work." What he said is exactly true. This major accomplishment reflects Chan's amazing career in which he as nearly lost his life many times and broken many bones. Many people commented on this achievement including someone saying, "nobody has risked more in the name of entertainment than Jackie Chan and this world record is a tribute both to his creativity and his endurance."

Over Jackie Chan's fifty-year career, he has appeared in over 100 domestic as well as international movies. Including, Police Story in 1985, Around the World in 80 Days in 2004, The Rush Hour series in 1998-2007, at the age of eight Big and Little Wrong Tin Bar in 1962, and his latest movie was The Karate Kid in 2011.

In all of Chan's productions, he performs all his own stunts. Also, no insurance company will underwrite these productions. However, after a number of stuntmen were injured during the process of making one of the many productions he is in, Police Story, the star formed the Jackie Chan Stuntmen Association, training the stuntmen personally and paying for their medical bills out of his own pocket.



What do you think of Jackie Chan and his productions if you have ever seen one? Would you ever want to be an actor/actress? If you were to ever recieve a major award what would you want to be awarded for and why?
