It was stated in many press reports that the genre of the film would be closer to drama than Chan's trademark action. Director Derek Yee reportedly said, "People are too familiar with the image of a fighting Jackie Chan. It’s time for him to move on to drama." In a recent interview, Chan himself describes the film as, "maybe one per cent action. Heavy drama.

2006, September 8

Jackie Chan has starred in over 50 action films, and has intimated in recent years that he has grown tired of being typecast as the "nice guy". The film is notable as the first in over 30 years, in which he plays a negative character—a criminal and compulsive gambler.

2001, January 18

Although the Accidental Spy is a Hong Kong film, much of the dialogue is in English, particularly during communications between the Chinese characters and the Korean and Turkish characters. Despite having a fairly serious and in some parts a dark plot, it still features some humour, as is typical of Chan's movies.

1999, February 13 Cameo

Gorgeous

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:35:08 GMT

1999, February 12

Gorgeous was originally conceived purely as a love story, with Chan as producer, but not as one of the film's cast. In order to secure the actress Shu Qi, the script of the film was re-written and a role for Chan was created. This soon developed into a starring role, and elements of action crept in. However, Gorgeous remains primarily a romantic comedy and so it differs from his usual all-out action films. The action scenes are fewer and there is no real bad guy character - the fight with the nominal enemy is a pre-arranged bout and both fighters wear boxing gloves - competitive rather than motivated by revenge or the fight for survival. Chan summarised the difference between the films Rush Hour and Gorgeous, stating the former was a job, and the latter was his baby. In Rush Hour his role was restricted to actor and action director. In Gorgeous, he was also the producer, editor and was involved in casting.

Released in the US in 1996, Rumble in the Bronx had a successful theater run, and brought Chan into the American mainstream.

Supercop 2

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:35:55 GMT

1993, October 21

Cameo Supercop 2 is a spin-off of Jackie Chan's Police Story film series involving the character Yeoh portrayed in Police Story 3. Although Jackie Chan only has a cameo appearance in this film, some DVD covers prominently featured Chan, misleading audience to think that he was the main character.

Crime Story

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:35:55 GMT

1993, June 24

Unlike almost all of Chan's films, which feature a combination of comedy and action, Crime Story is a serious film with no humorous moments at all. The film is based on actual events surrounding the 1990 kidnapping of Teddy Wang.

City Hunter

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:35:55 GMT

1993, January 16

After City Hunter's release, Chan not only disowned the film, but attacked Wong personally in the press. In his subsequent movie High Risk, Wong struck back by modeling a character after Chan, insinuating that Chan was actually a boozing womanizer and a fraud who didn't really do his own stunts after all. The film offended Chan greatly and started a feud between him and one of the film's stars, Jet Li—a feud that would not end until Jet Li publicly apologized for his involvement. The two have since become friends, and later made The Forbidden Kingdom, marking their first film together as lead actors.

1991, November 22

Jackie Chan voiced singing and speaking voices in the Chinese dub for the Beast.

Armour of God II: Operation Condor

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:35:55 GMT

1991, February 7

This film is even more akin to Indiana Jones than Armour of God, in that it features Chan's character Condor ("Asian Hawk" in the US release) battling against a former Nazi to retrieve gold from an abandoned base deep in the Sahara Desert. Because this film was released in the US several years before Armour of God, its US title is simply Operation Condor. When the first film was eventually released, it was somewhat confusingly given the title Operation Condor II.

The Prisoner (Island of Fire)

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:35:55 GMT

1990, April

As with Jackie Chan's earlier films, recent DVD and VHS releases market Island of Fire as a Jackie Chan film, displaying his image on the cover as though he was the lead actor. In fact, Chan only appears in a supporting role. After appearing with Jackie Chan in Killer Meteors in 1976, the film's producer and co-star, Jimmy Wang Yu, came to Chan's aid when the then young actor sought his help in settling a dispute with veteran director, Lo Wei. Jackie Chan repaid the favour by playing roles in Wang's films, which included Island of Fire as well as the Fantasy Mission Force.

Black Dragon (Miracles) (Mr. Canton and Lady Rose)

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:35:55 GMT

1989, June 15

Jackie Chan is an ardent fan of Hollywood musicals and Miracles pays tribute to that genre. According to his autobiography, Chan stated that this was the favourite film he has made.
