The book “The new German Jackie Chan film guide” sets new standards for fans of the Kung Fu legend

31. October 2018 Off By Thorsten Boose

Who would have thought that Jackie Chan would still be making action films in 2018 – at the age of 64? With the filming of “The Foreigner” (2017) with Pierce Brosnan, a serious action drama emerged in which Jackie could shine as an actor. And then events rolled over.

The 40th anniversary of the Jackie Chan’s stunt team (Sing Ga Ban), the receipt of the honorary oscar for his life’s work and the announcement of the long-awaited English translation of his second autobiography from 2015. Jackie set a new standard and gave me the impetus for a new book. The time was right and work on “The new German Jackie Chan film guide” was already in full swing.

The fact that “The new German Jackie Chan film guide” is being published almost exactly ten years to the day after its predecessor’s release date may be a coincidence or fate. Fact is that everything will be different with this book.

The new German Jackie Chan film guide, 2018

Jackie Chan. Action hero, director, singer, entrepreneur and proud winner of the Honorary Oscar since 2016. The sympathetic Hong Kong Chinese can look back on a 56-year film career. Trained as an entertainer at a young age as a student at the China Drama Academy, he was shaped by discipline, humility and social thinking. But before his success came dubious film appearances, emigration and persecution by the Chinese mafia were real.

Today, Jackie Chan is known worldwide. He is China’s most influential star. Jackie Chan became a brand. This ultimate reference work contains not only the complete, but also the world’s most detailed filmography of the former stuntman. Misinformation is uncovered, forgotten films are recalled, Jackie Chan’s work on television is examined more closely and numerous references to pop culture such as music and video games are created.

Breaking the generational curse: In the name of the Father, the Son and Jackie Chan
26. June 2024
Those who learn nothing from history are condemned to repeat it. As a German, I was confronted with this idea early on in my school education. But the principle is universally applicable to every nation, every people, every individual, and has been an important reminder of the primordial human condition not only since the post-war years: Learn from your mistakes.

When you have reached the lowest point in your life, there is nowhere to go but up. This is where a person’s true character is revealed.

A true American story.

“You can win an Oscar for playing a stuntman but not for being one” – A comment
19. March 2024
Stunt performers have been part of the film business since the beginning of moving pictures. Even though they have always made film stars shine with their anonymous and breakneck actions, they still don’t get the respect they deserve when it comes to the Oscars. Why is that the case? A few thoughts on this.

“THE LAWNMOWER MAN” (1992) | Film Review
25. July 2024
In a few cases, film adaptations of Stephen King’s novels have been good and have become classics in pop culture. Most of his brilliant stories in film and television, however, are to be found in a trashy corner, which makes it difficult to distinguish between story and realisation and thus a fair assessment. Let’s try anyway.

22. July 2024
If you’re an office worker who puts up with the madness within your four walls and with your oh-so-lovely colleagues day in, day out, you’ll absolutely understand the premise of this black action comedy. Sometimes you just want to have a good reason to go all out.

18. July 2024
“All men are basically the same”, says this lesser-known Hong Kong tragicomedy from 1993, they only want one thing: true love. Sounds cheesy, but when three penises are chatting at the dining table at night, you know it’s the finest Cantonese comedy cuisine.
