Well, doing his own stunts was Jackie Chan’s gimmick, and a bloody fine one at that.

@MC, I beleive Jackie has broken nearly every bone in his body over his movie career, and he keeps coming back for more. That’s commitment!

@MC, I haven’t read about it but I wonder if he still tries to do a lot of them now days?
I’m yet to see The Karate Kid but I’ll be interesting in how active he is in that film.

@Lee, He has a level of charisma which is still present, but his hayday is unfortunately long gone.
But what a hayday!
(not that I’ve seen Karate Kid though)

I think there was a movie review in there somewhere.
Also, please DO NOT take away Dan’s witty introductions of Lee at the start of each cast. I freak’n love ‘em!

I only got to listen to 45 minutes of the podcast, but I’m not sure I caught which movie you had watched. Was it a discussion about a hovercraft sales video that Lee had received?
Speaking of which, did you know there’s a hovercraft in Rumble in the Bronx? I wonder if that caused a spike in hovercraft sales?
If we mention hovercrafts enough in these comments, do you think this post will make it to the first page of hovercraft results in Google?

@Jeff, oh man it would be sweet to be associated with hovercrafts in google!!

OK, I’m a bit slow to the party, but I listened to this while the wife was watching Tour de France and it was some ridiculous hour! Could it be because of that that I enjoyed this episode so much!?! Thanks guys for a great laugh!

@SG-3, don’t you think the Tour de France would be better if they did it on hovercraft?

@Dan, Pity the poor German commentators! How many times can you say Luftkissenfahrzeug without tripping up!
And would you have anyone left to wear a jersey after the Pyrenees stage?!?
