How Sammo Hung Got Jackie Chan to Push Himself Harder

SUBMITTED BY LClem

August 8, 2003 — "Having Sammo there helped me a lot and I think he also managed to goad Jackie into pushing the envelope where the action was concerned," says Gordon Chan, who worked with both men on Thunderbolt (1995). "I remember one scene in which Jackie had to somersault up to a roof and we had shot several takes. Sammo still insisted that Jackie was a little slow and Jackie told him, `Hey, I am not 20-something any more'. Sammo's response was `You can't do it? I'll do it then'. Jackie did it." Another challenge from Hung got both actors into a contest to see who could walk furthest on their hands. "My heart was in my mouth," says Gordon Chan. "I really regret not catching that on camera."
