Jackie Chan Action Movie Week
Jackie Chan Action Movie Week (14 - 18 June) opened yesterday with a discussion forum. In attendence were Jackie, Jeffrey Katzenberg (Dreamworks), Rob Cohen (Fast and Furious) and Wu Jing (martial artist, actor and director).
Jackie spoke at length about the necessity of acknowledging the hard work that goes into making an action with many unsung heroes behind the scenes. Jackie pointed out that "We all feel that action movies create a hero, but in fact behind every scene are countless unsung heroes, with broken hands, broken legs even dying, so I want to give them a stage".
Jackie also said that at the moment China cannot compete with Hollywood special effects, only in making real action movies can China compete. He also said that anyone can make a special effects movie, that the actor is easily replaced, but with real action the stunt-performer is not easily replaced.
The Jackie Chan Action Movie Week will be awarding "Man Of Steel" awards in the following categories:
- Best Stunt Film
- Best Stunt Director
- Best Stunt Coordinator
- Best Specialty Stunt
- Best Fight
- Best Actor
- Best Actress
- New Talent
