I just got word that Jet Li is going into retirement! I also heard that Jackie Chan won't be doing anymore movies soon. Jackie is doing Rush Hour 3 right now and I heard him and Jet are going to do a movie together. This movie of theirs will no doubt be a must see and maybe a must buy as well. It will mark the end of both of their movie lifes. Jackie however is becoming a director and will still be in movies even though it will be off the screen. I for one can't wait for this movie that Jackie and Jet are ganna do together!

Jackie Chan was a excellent martial artist but he also performed all his own stunts which some of the current actors don't do.

Yeah, I like Jackie Chan movies more and admire him more because he does his own stunts. Makes me look at some other actors who could do their own stunts but don't as lazy in a way. To compare it, it's like not writing the code for your own website then asking 'how do you like my site?'. Uhh it isn't just your site, you let someone else make the website for you then called it yours, and that's not as cool.

true, but Jackie broke a lot of bones over the years. Web designing can be dangerous too though, over many years you can get a major astigmatism and maybe even glaucoma and maybe a finger cramp or carpel-tunnel.
===============================
Added with edit:
and if you are using a VERY OLD monitor, you could get radiation and your little guys will forget how to swim! (e.g. no kids!)
WOW, Web designing is VERY Dangerous work!!!!!!!

Yeah, sometimes there have to be sacrifices made in the name of using technology alot  . You have to watch your wrists (or deal with the carpal tunnel), and stay away from older monitors, plus those other eye problems, and the addiction of the computer and the many uses of technology.. it definitely comes with its problems and drawbacks even though there are many benefits too. I imagine for Jackie Chan it is like that, he knows he will get hurt doing some of these stunts for his films, but he thinks, well the filming is more fun then and the film looks better that way. I look forward to seeing Jackie Chan direct. Also, does Jet Li do his own stunts, and is he actually a good fighter, or does he just act as a good fighter? I like his acting either way but I'm curious about him. |

Jet is one of the best. I don't really have all the facts, but I do know that he has been number 1 in all the tournys that he has been in. I don't know who is better between him and Jackie, but it doesn't really matter too much because fighting is all about defense and as long as they are good enough to defend themselves, they may not even need to because people will know not to mess with them. I know it sounds strange what I'm about to say but; Fighting is all about not fighting. You sometime want to deal the least amount of damage so that they get the idea and run away.

Their movie that they both were in together is called "The Forbidden Kingdom" and I can't wait to see it! I hope it's what we have been expecting it to be!
