With the news today from Cannes that Jackie Chan is retiring from Action Films, his latest epic, Chinese Zodiac (aka CZ12), will be his last – we can at least rejoice that it is a sequel to the much loved 1991 caper Armour of God II – Operation Condor.
Jackie reprises his role as Asian Hawk as he battles to bring back bronze statue heads of the twelve zodiac animals.
“This is my last action film,” he said. “I tell you, I’m not young any more. I’m really, really tired. And the world is too violent right now. It’s a dilemma – I like action but I don’t like violence.”
Jackie is in Cannes for the yearly film festival to promote the upcoming film, and also to showcase his 1983 Masterpiece Project A, which is being screened at the Cinéma de la Plage tonight (18 May).
