IJMC Jackie Chan's First Quote

                   IJMC - Jackie Chan's First Quote

...at least on the IJMC. Here's a simple quote from one of the masters of 
action films and stuntmaking.                                       -dave





"American stuntmen are smart -- they think about safety.  When they do a
 jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the
 distance... But in Hong Kong, we don't know how to count.  Everything
 we do is a guess.  If you've got the guts, you do it.  All of my
 stuntmen have gotten hurt.  I say, 'Do it!  Camera, action, jump!'
 Boom!  Ambulance!  Hospital!  Next stuntman!"

 - action film star Jackie Chan
