This documentary is worth watching, and don't miss watching both sides, as the english version is somewhat different from the chinese (or cantonese) one. There are also two different songs which are very funny to watch. From Jackie you learn to know of his youth, his films and his family. Please let us know much more!

This DVD release is a really great deal because both versions are on one disc. One side is English and the other side is Mandarin. The two versions are very similar but different with alternate interviews in Mandarin and English. Depending on which side you view first. A very interesting and informative documentary. Highly recommended for Jackie Chan fans and soon to be fans. Buy it now!

Having just read Jackie Chans Book I felt I had to see the video. I was extremely surprised how talented he really is. The two songs featured on the DVD are both excellent and show what a lovely voice he has. It was nice to see the other side of the Action Man! It makes you smile just to watch him, as he seems such a happy & lovely man.

The DVD is great. The special features really enhance this DVD. The sound mix is good too. You can really get to know about Jackie Chan. There's a large section on some of his amazing stunts.

This documentary serves as a great companion to Jackie Chan's autobiographical book "I Am Jackie Chan." He talks about his early days in the Peking Opera School to his rescent American success "Rush Hour." There is also numerous clips from most of his movies, like his brief appearences in "Chinese Connection," scenes cut out of "Heart of Dragon" and an entire fight scene not seen in the American version of "Armour of God 2: Operation Condor." This is required viewing for any Jackie Chan fan and anyone else who appreciates great filmmaking.

This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. I thought I knew everything about Jackie Chan, but man was I wrong! This documentary is overloaded with info. Jackie's path at becoming the world's top action star wasn't an easy one. If you are a Jackie fan then you have to see this documentary. One thing I found interesting is that Jackie and his stunt team are blacklisted from every insurance company in Asia. There is no way I could go over all the stuff he talks about. There is nothing better than hearing Jackie's stories from Jackie's own mouth.

And in case you don't know about Jackie Chan, then I will just tell you that he put his life on the line for almost every movie he made. And he has made a ton of movies! He is one of the world's top actors, but he always did his own stunts. Included in this documentary are some of his most famous stunts, and also some outtakes, including the one where he gets hit by a helicopter!

Rating-5/5. I would give this a 100/100 if I could.

While I did enjoy watching the film, being an avid Jackie Chan fan I found that the information that I recieved in the film was not anything I did not know before. I was also quite disapointed by the cheaply created opening and cut scenes. The voice over for some of the injury videos was also quite appaling.

If you dont know much about Jackie Chan though it has some very interesting parts about his injuries and most dangerous stunts.

I would have liked him to go more indepth about his family life and history in the Chinese Opera School though.

A hartwarming DVD about Jackie's background, life, interests and passions in life. A wonderful companion to his book "I am Jackie Chan" which I think all of his fans should read, too.

You will love this story. it has everything of Jackie, withsome of the clips you will find, skip renting it and just buy.

If you've even heard of Jackie Chan, you must see this video. No documentary before this has ever given you such a real story on the life of this living legend.
