While searching the net yesterday I found these 3 archived pages from a defunct website containing Jackie's diaries from Shanghai Knights and Around The World in 80 Days. Originally these diaries were only sent out to paid up fans of the then official Jackie Chan fan club. There was some talk in the early days of these diaries all being put on jackiechan.com and I hope that someday they are, as they are a fascinating look into life on set from Jackie's movies.
Interestingly in one of these diaries Jackie's mentions when he got started with writing diaries. He said that the producers of Shanghai Noon wanted the actors to write diaries as part of the promotions for the movie, the other actors didn't keep it up for long but Jackie discovered how much his fans liked them and kept it up.
As these pages contain many small pictures I thought it best just to give you the links.
So here they are:
SHANGHAI KNIGHTS
AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS PART 1
