Talking about Jackie Chan
by Betty Jo Tucker

Can two Jackie Chan admirers be objective while discussing his latest movie, Rush Hour 3? We’ll find out on the upcoming “Movie Addict Headquarters” show when Adam Hakari joins me for a celebration of Chan’s movie exploits plus a critique of his third Rush Hour outing. This BlogTalkRadio show airs live on Tuesday, August 14, at 4 p.m. Eastern Time and will also be available as an archived segment.

Adam, one of our fine ReelTalkReviews.com critics, is a lifelong film fan, having written reviews for nine years and seen thousands of movies. He also writes reviews for a classic film website as well as for the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Student Voice newspaper. During the school year, Adam hosts "The Mad Movie Man," a weekly movie talk radio show.   

With close to 100 films to his credit, Jackie Chan has become one of the world’s greatest action stars. His amazing career began as a student of music, dance and traditional martial arts at the Chinese Drama Academy when he was only six years old. Noted for his unique combination of martial arts and comedy, Chan insists on doing his own stunts, which causes difficulty for studios in terms of insurance coverage but also results in extraordinary action sequences. Amusing outtakes at the end of each movie illustrate some of Chan’s injuries while performing his stunts.     

During the “Movie Addict Headquarters” show, Adam and I plan to share our reactions concerning Jackie Chan films we enjoyed the most as well as how Rush Hour 3 compares with his other film work.
