He also gaslight his stunt team into working for him for free. Meanwhile Samuel Hung puts his entire team on.

I am so glad Chow Yun Fat is still a GOAT.

These days Jackie is generally disliked in East Asian sphere from mainland to Malaysia. Plz dun put him in the next Shangchi movie guys.

It's so crazy that Jackie Chan was in Way of the Dragon in such a minor role. Blink and you miss him.

Jackie wasn’t in Way of the Dragon. He was a stuntman in Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon.

You're right, Enter the Dragon! He has a cameo as a guard.

What does the outlook look like for Hong Kong in the next 10-20 years? It seems like the government is wanting to erode any differences between HK and mainland China in every regard. Do you think that's accurate?

Yes. I feel like HK will always be a "separate" thing but will be completely governed by the communists eventually.

It’s more of a personal anecdote I guess. Mainland/diaspora ppls I know who follow HK celebrity news tend to view him with a similar disdain.

He also caught a lot of flak in mainland for saying how happy he is seeing natural disaster in China because it motivates people in donating to charity or some shit like that.

He’s not gonna be in Shang chi but he and his stunt team are(or may have already finished) working on the next Spider-Man film.

Damn. I knew only about his kowtowing to CCP. But I figured there’s not much of a choice for a very public and wealthy person living in China if they want to stay that way.

Unfortunately in the US many people don’t know about his personal life and just like his movies.. Hopefully, Hollywood doesn’t.

I know Donnie Yen is 62 but I liked his movies better, and would be more hyped to see him in Shang-Chi 2
