Jackie

I've always been a huge fan so was a little disappointed, mainly because I didn't know he was in the country.  
The advert is a bit naff but that is the appeal of them. You have to look at the series of ads they have done, like the one with Darth Vader.  
Also, Jackie has a huge staff that are involved with his various projects, not to mention the projects themselves. He needs money for all these.  
I think that the real problem is that, with only a few notable exceptions, the West has always patronised Jackie and this is really evident in the ad. Shanghai Noon and Knights and Around the World in 80 Days being the only decent Jackie Chan films made in the West. Also, this is a guy that is famous for being totally different to Bruce Lee and they tried to make look like a Bruce rip off. Finally, am I the only one that thinks he looked ill?
