  1. >Chan, who first joined the franchise in the 2010 “Karate Kid” starring Jaden Smith, says he didn’t need any training for this new entry. The 71-year-old says, “I don’t need to anymore. I’ve been training every day for 64 years. I’ve been fighting, fighting, fighting.”

  2. Who thought he’d need to train?? Have you ever met an old person?

  3. That’s like asking Steph Curry, “So, what did you do to prepare for this charity exhibition game?”

  4. After all these years, that’s some serious muscle memory.

  5. Yah of course this makes sense. At 71, they’re not asking him to do long complicated solo action sequences. He’s not going to be jumping off balcony’s or swing ladders around anymore.

    Any moves they would ask him to perform would be trivial and simple compared to what he’s done in the past.

  6. Awww, too bad he couldn’t put that much effort into being a better father

  7. From early reviews, it sounds like Ralph Macchio also declined to train for this movie.

  8. Authoritarian boot-licking child abandoner. My biggest celebrity let down of all time. The only way I could be more disappointed with a celebrity is if I found out emma watson eats kittens.

  9. What is the last good movie from Jackie Chan, like the old ones ? I just got itch to watch some good ol Jackie.

  10. He has long earned the title of sage master like Mr Miyagi
