Good introduction to Jackie Chan,

This review is from: The Unauthorized Jackie Chan Encyclopedia : From "Project A" to "Shanghai Noon" and Beyond (Paperback)
If you are interested in learning about Jackie Chan's films this is a good introduction. However, not enough personal data. I have read better accounts of his life. However, not bad.

Nice Guide to Chan's Film Career,
By
This review is from: The Unauthorized Jackie Chan Encyclopedia : From "Project A" to "Shanghai Noon" and Beyond (Paperback)
"The Unauthorized Jackie Chan Encyclopedia" is a nice reference guide to Chan's prolific film career up to the year 2002. The book contains many interesting and obscure entries about Chan's career and the HK film industry in general including: Maggie Cheung, Hwang Jang-Lee, Wille Chan, Ng See-Yuen and the Shaw Brothers Studios.
The Unauthorized also includes Jackie Chan's first English language interview from 1981 and provides a musicography of Jackie's music career. There are also plenty of interesting and rare photos and magazine covers throughout the book. The only negatives are that author John Corcoran does not go into a lot of detail on many of the entries and seems to have aimed the book towards younger readers. Overall the unauthorized Chan encyclopedia is a nice guide to the world of Jackie Chan and is recommended for die hard Chan fans. |
