I have read in a french magazine (magazine UGC ) that Chan had criticized ong bak because of its violence.He thought that one shouldn't make such violent movies like ong bak because you have responsabilities towards youth .Chan had told during his interview that he wouldn't make violent movies anymore like he did at the beginning of his career.
Looks like Jackie Chan is jealous of Jaa.For me, it confirms that Jaa has better martial skills than the Jackie Chan of the beginning .And I guess that both Jackie and Tony in the same movie is unlikely to happen.Any thoughts?
After reading an article you decided Jackie´s skills are inferior to Tony´s? Now that´s really something... Take a good look at Jackie´s older movies, ones like Snake in the Eagle´s Shadow, Drunken Master 1&2, The Young Master, Wheels on Meals, Project A & Project A part 2 etc. and you´ll see there´s nothing wrong with Jackie´s skills. Nowadys, the difference is he is already 51 years old... But boy, can he still move! I hope I can move around like that when I hit the 50s...!
I think the reason why Jackie might feel jealous and/or threatened is that past 20 years he has been the brightest star of the action movies; he has been the standard to whom other action actors have been compared to. And now, out of blue comes this new guy and sets the standard with his first leading role, and he´s using the same tools (except the comedy) which set Jackie apart from the other performers. And all this happens while Jakie´s new movies, especially the Hollywood ones, haven´t been anything special...
