Shanghai Knights: Jackie Chan Kicking High  

Taiwan's United Evening News just visited Jackie Chan in Czech Republic. Set of a harbor factory warehouse was built inside an old warehouse outside of Prague. Jackie Chan has come out tons of moves using a big cross lock (?). The day before, Jackie Chan has been hanging up-side-down whole day to make the scene of he being dumped into a pond by the bad guys. Thought the water was guaranteed clean and a doctor was standing by, it still made him very sick. He said, "now its another lead Owen Wilson's turn to enjoy the rare taste". Jackie Chan has reportedly collected a personal record of US$17.5 million from the movie and if adding up bonus, the total number could be as high as 25 million.

Last night, Entertainment Tonight just showed the first behind-the-scene footage. Scenes include Jackie Chan fighting with Donnie Yen(?), Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson disguising as an Indian Prince and Sherlock Holmes, Jackie Chan fighting with two British guards in front of a fireplace, Queen Victoria's carriage (?) passing through a welcoming crowd, Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson and Fann Wong (played Jackie's little sister) hiding in a stable, and Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson fleeing the fire in a car. The program also mentioned Jackie Chan is posting video diary on the official site.
