Jackie Chan admits acting in porn movie
KUNGFU film star Jackie Chan yesterday admitted that he acted in a porn movie 31 years ago, responding to a report revealed by Hong Kong media, Information Times reported today.
"I had to do anything I could to make a living 31 years ago, but I don't think it's a big deal, even Marlon Brando used to be exposed in his movies," Chan said.
"The porn movie at that time was more conservative than the current films," he said.
Hong Kong netizens tipped local media that Chan was in the porn movie "All in the Family" in 1975, with a porn movie star who was famous at that time.
The Hong Kong made movie, directed by Zhu Mu, was defined as a comedy. Dean Shek, Tien Chun, and Sammo Hung were also co-stars.

message: I'm correcting one line in the Trivia section.  The article mentions the ending theme for "Rumble in the Bronx" in the U.S. release was a Tom Jones cover of Kung-Fu Fighting.  This is incorrect - that song was in the ending credits of the U.S. release of "Supercop."  The song used for Rumble in the Bronx was "Kung Fu" by the band Ash. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_%28song%29

message: I heard a rumor a few years ago that Jackie Chan was supposed to be shooting for some film on top of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001, but for some reason or another the shoot was delayed.  I just googled it and came across this article - http://www.snopes.com/rumors/jackchan.htm   Is this worth a mention in the trivia section?  Funkadillo 19:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I heard from Wikipedia he was Australian. Is this true? Link: "Jackie Chan - actor (Australian citizen)"

replies: text: JC was born on Hong Kong. His parents were from Hong Kong. His father moved to Australia to gain employment & Australian citizenship. Part of the reason Jackie was enrolled at the Peking Opera School was to keep him in line during his fathers absence. His mother moved there shortly thereafter, whilst JAckie was still at the school. After a stilted start in the stuntman business, he joined his parents in Australia, gaining employment working on the building sites. I believe he lived in Australia for two short periods. He is definitely not Australian by birth or lineage, and I it is highly doubtful that he has dual nationality, as Chinese authorities do not recognise "dual nationality". So on returning to Hong Kong, he would have had to declare himself as Australian and give up his original HK Chinese nationality for this to be true.
I may be wrong, but it seems extremely unlikley. Gram 15:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the injury list section is pretty poor. I fixed the links to most of the films, but there are other issues with it. It could be re-written as a couple of paragraphs citing the worst injuries in a handful of films rather than a full list. If people prefer a full list it should probably be in chronological order, not alphabetical. 
Beyond that, it needs to be re-written. The wording in phrases like "Hurt eye when pop-it went off near it" and "Got Glass Shards lodged in his butt" are not really appropriate for an encylopedia. What the hell is a pop-it anyway?
If you have "almost died of hypothermia" listed under a film (First Strike), is it really worth listing under the same film insignificant things like "cut finger"?
And in a list format, I don't think almost-injuries are worth listing at all (Twins Effect: "He just had a cameo, but almost got his leg ran over!"). In a paragraph format, you could mention this, but Chan almost gets severely injured on pretty much every film he appears in, but if he doesn't actually get injured, it shouldn't appear in a list of actual injuries.

replies: text: Sorry for the late reply; I meant could somebody please write the first sentence on this article the way in which the Sammo Hung is written: (Traditional Chinese: 洪金寶; Simplified Chinese: 洪金宝; pinyin: Hóng Jīnbǎo; Cantonese: Hung4 Gam1 Bou2). I think it would be quite helpful to identify the languages used to non-speakers like myself. Thanks. SteveLamacq43 14:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
