Keeping up Traditions

One of the traditions Jackie has when making a movie is the 'Friday Lucky Draw'. All cast and crew enter a lucky draw every week to win the money put in the box. Jackie also puts in a bunch of nice extras as well. Here are some photos of a recent 'Lucky Draw' on set of Dragon Blade.

Demand for water on set is high - this is the water delivery!

Jackie Attends Centennial Celebration of Maotai Wine

Jackie took a break from filming Dragon Blade to attend the Centennial celebrations of Maotai Wine. The event was organised by the People's Government of Guizhou Province, China Wine Association, and China Guizhou Moutai Distillery and was held at the China Art Palace (formerly the Shanghai World Expo China Pavilion). They also launched the Guizhou Maotai Gold Series at the ceremony.

Jackie Says

Jackie had some time today to post some pictures and comments:



After production moved to Dunhuang, the first time I drove to the location I noticed a very interesting thing - the car GPS navigation only showed a red dot. We look very interesting!





When it was time to stop work this evening I was very happy. Our crew are child actors from the martial arts school of Shaolin who are playing infantry soldiers. When we called it a day in the evening, they followed me to pick up trash from the hillside. I'm glad to send them home with some of T-shirts printed with the 'Dragon Blade' logo that the crew wear. There weren't enough but they will get their kits later. I am very thankful to the martial arts school for these children. I am wondering if we are all very environmentally aware, then it will be even better in the future for our country.

Sometimes Dust

Sometimes the heat isn't the only thing to make filming in the desert unpleasant.

Although Jackie has been zipping about in the desert on his Segway, today he decided to give four wheels a try.

Thanks to @JohnCusack for letting us know that Jackie is a "completely awesome human -huge heart full of mischief and the hardest worker I've ever met -!" And that he has two fight scenes with Jackie.






Thanks to @CenturyMartialArts for the information that Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is the stunt choreographer for Dragon Blade. In case you were wondering how John Cusack managed the fight scenes with Jackie - he is a black belt, having studied under Benny for many years.
