Is Jackie Chan the fun loving guy we all think he is?

Is Jackie Chan the fun loving guy we all think he is? What took so long for Jackie Chan and Jet Li to make a movie together?

All we can do is really guess. I have some theories though.

Jackie Chan seems like a very nice guy doesn't he? Always smiling, always the HERO in his films. He is the epitome of likeable no? I seen my fair share of Jackie Chan films and unlike Jet Li who I do not recall him ever playing the 'bad buy'. Also unlike Jet Li I don't recall Jackie Chan ever dying in his films(at least in a lead role). How can you kill him though. He's just so frigging NICE. Easy going unless you mess with him. Is that really how Jackie Chan is in real life? I think not.

One thing that Jackie Chan can say and Jet Li can't is he holds a Guinness Book world record. No, it not for the most amicable action star ever. No it not for the most time injured by a action star. Jackie Chan holds the Guinness Book of World's record for the most takes in a single film. A whopping 2900+ takes in scene for his film Dragon Lord. Jackie Chan directed this film.

I think you need a lot of 'you know what' to demand that from you film crew. This tells me that not only is Jackie Chan is perfectionist BUT he also must have a little bit of tyrant in him. That's not necessarily a bad thing especially in the film industry but I think it shows some of Jackie's true colors.

What does this have to do with Jet Li though? Well, obviously Jackie Chan has a competitive nature about him. Why would he work with Jet Li? Whould'nt someone who took over 2900 takes, a perfectionist rather beat his nemesis rather than work with him. I am sure that Jackie has had plenty of opportunities to work with Jet in the past. Maybe Jackie figured, hey, IM 54 I have done everything, I proved that I am better than that little Wire Fu star Jet Li. Maybe now is the time to give the fans what they want and get a big pay day too!

We will see how it turns out. Im curious to see if Jackie will have more of a role in the Forbidden Kingdom. Also curious to see if his character dies at the end. 11 more days and we all will know
