Default Jackie Chan Goooooone from film making

Retiring

Jackie Chan says he is landing his last punch.
The Hong Kong actor told the AP on Friday that his latest film Chinese Zodiac will be his last action movie.
Chan, launching the film in Cannes with co-stars Kwone Sang Woo, Yao Xingtong and Liao Fan, said that people never believe him when he says he is going to retire.
"They say 'no, you're still young, you can still do it,' but I have to stop one day."
The 58-year-old says he is bowing out with Chinese Zodiac because it's one of the "most important" films in his career.

Not to mention how does he get gone from filmaking when he is going to continue acting, directing, producing, and making films. He just feels he is too old to be the star in action movies now.

Jackie Chan will still be making movies. How else will he be able to continue his practice of banging all the young up and comers in his films if he retires. Jackie's the man!

You don't hear about it much in the west but that's how he's operates in Hong Kong and China with his casting couch and connections. He's supposed to have tons of illegitimate children throughout Asia.

There already was a Rush Hour 3. And Jackie Chan says he will do a Rush Hour 4:
