It's about damn time!!
fudwiser
making his own stunt team and covering his crew out of pocket since no one wanted to cover them
CandyMinion
It's about fucking time!
geekieEli
and he never bitched about it like someone els we know...
momemes
wtf, Leo's like 'I finally got one' yay Jacky Chan's like 'What only one movie a year, and you don't do your own stunts, for 30 yrs'
spankatorium

ITS ABOUT TIME :) WOOHOO
Stewker
heheh my dad was a motocross driver in one of his movies, 'armor of god' or something, i miss him..
Eventheusernamewhyarealltheusernamestakenistaken
I'd say his and Leonardo's mean far FAR more than anyone else's.

Another win for glorious Republic of China, long may communism reign!

Nope, it is an honorary award....not a true Oscar.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jackie Chan winning Oscars in the same year, man...that's got to feel really good for a lot of people.
Dudeitsonlyme
Forbidden Kingdom was one of his best. The part where he and Jet Lee had the fight was friggin great.
CheeseNOnion
Ok, how many Jackie Chan movies do you know?
melotprieks
Dude, you're watching the wrong movies. Project A, Armour of God, Police Story and many others. His 80's flicks are the best.

This man, deserve the award. I remember his film on VHS tapes.
WarBotter
what a very deserving award for a wonderful entertainer. Good for him and good for The genre of film he represented
ScreamingGreenFrog
i kinda just consider any film starring him to be a separate genre that I refer to as Jackie Chan films
Cptmike
chris tucker movies?
charismaticneutral
Rush Hour is not a chris tucker movie. Its our movie. We're all a part of it
HighSlayerRalton
He was the genre of film he represented.
ExistentialBummer
Not just an entertainer but a great person too. Check out Dragon's Heart Foundation. He made it possible to build hundreds of school.
Nephus
Chinese man beats up English people stealing Chinese artifacts. It's a very niche genre.
charismaticneutral
He'll always be the drunken master
uhhhphrasing
You've obviously never met my stepdad...
Occasionalfunnycomment
You mean the porn he did?
WarBotter
bet he didn't use a stunt cock
UltraDi3000
I always loved the choreography in his movies. Tons of action with crazy stunts, yet minimal camera cuts. Pure entertainment.
whathavewehere
Do you really "win" an honorary Oscar when it's awarded specifically to you without competition? Anyway, he deserves the acknowledgment.
ctotheg2
In the English language, we often use "win" an award interchangeably with "was presented with". The oscats didnt interchange, OP did.
whathavewehere
So did The Guardian, it seems.

What movie is this from? I can't think of it
everythingismelting
Rumble in the Bronx
bryanew710
Good for him :-). IIRC, MTV gave him a lifetime achievement award about two decades ago (for what little that's worth).
MrDeadsr
It's MTV, that doesn't count.
TECHNICALLYC0RRECT
Lifetimes are a dime a dozen these days.
bryanew710
Yeah, hence my comment at the end.
TECHNICALLYC0RRECT
Sure, but I wasn't talking about awards.
bryanew710
Ahhhh.

What constitutes and is deserving of an Oscar?
IAmLeftShark
Jackie Chan adventures was so under rated
LeviathAileron
AI-YAAA!
Smigions
What are you on, my new friend just about everyone growing up when it was on tv watched it.
blumpkinfarmer
It was really good and really popular. How was it underrated
CaptainOrbit

AAAHHHYAAAAHHHH!
DurendaI
I just don't like how ultra-nationalist he has been in recent years.
rando84
Yep, it is a shame.
UrsusDerpus
He's a great entertainer, but fuck I do despise his political leanings and his betrayals
Schmuck4hire
I... don't think I wanna know about them. I've heard about enough beloved celebrities darker sides, as of late.
Coldin
He's basically for Hong Kong to region China right?
UrsusDerpus
Essentially, yeah.
UrsusDerpus
He's got some other uninformed stances too
namikarp
I always felt like he's just trying to be proud of his country. It's just difficult given the history. :(
BlasserDuennerJunge
I love that he prefers a traditional piece over these 0-8-15 suits.
Nutjob
I'm trying to google 0-8-15 and all I'm getting are math results
MeowAllTheTime
The insult "nul acht funfzehn" (0-8-15) — “standard issue / mediocre” in reference to standard issue rifles during WWI.
ZeroKey92
It's a German saying meaning something along the lines of run off the mill or standard/boring with a slight negative connotation.
dufflebutter
SO agree. I'd love to see more diverse traditional formals at events.
TheGreatAnhey
I think they do it so the men can't outdress the women
dufflebutter
I'm pretty sure it's because western dress is considered more "standard" in Hollywood, which is kind of tired, give me some kilts and kurtas
BewareTheCrocigator
As a boring white person, can I borrow someone else's native dress or am I stuck with suit and tie?
Tywinning
There's plenty of interesting and unusual traditional European outfits to pick from
