5 Films Jackie Chan is Not Proud Of Or Regrets Making
Jackie Chanhas had a highly successful acting career, with many iconic and commercially successful films. But there are some films of his that he is not proud of, some of which he even regrets making. These 5 films given below are some which the actor has expressed his disdain for or those which have not aged well for him.
Rush Hour(1998)
The first of theRush Hourfilms proved to be a commercially successful venture of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Their chemistry was liked by audiences but Chan did not like the American way of shooting action and their sense of humor, expressing his dislike for the film to the theLA Times. The foreign nature of the English language didn’t help things either. Nevertheless, he did two more sequels with Tucker.
City Hunter(1993)
The 1993 action comedy about a detective (played by Jackie Chan) trying to find the daughter of a Japanese CEO did not age well. Its transphobic and outdated ideas of how men perceived women turned audiences off. The outlandish portrayal of Chan’s character didn’t help things either and the actor later disowned the film (according toScreenRant), much to the backlash and negative response from audiences.
The Protector(1985)
The second Hollywood film of Jackie Chan was marred with a disastrous production. The director James Glickenhaus and Chan were in serious conflict about the direction of the story of the film and the actor disliked how the director shot action sequences in the film. This led to the film being released in two versions, one being the US version approved by Glickenhaus and the Hong Kong version which contained extra scenes shot by Chan himself.
All in The Family(1975)
This family drama which was advertised as a Jackie Chan star vehicle barely contained the actor at all when the film was released. The film which showed the rivalry between the Hu family trying to possess the wealth of the dying patriarch did not attract audiences as it did not have any action or stunts that the actor is known for. Chan also had a rare s*x scene in the film which he regrets doing.
Armorof God(1986)
Although Jackie Chan has no hate for the final result of the hit film, he nearly lost his life while shooting for the action-adventure flick. While performing a stunt involving jumping onto a tree, he lost balance and fell almost 16 feet to the ground which left a permanent hole in his skull. Thus, the fact that he almost died filming the movie makes it one of his worst filming experiences.
