    4.0 out of 5 stars Really interesting, very informative.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 1999
    This book is full of information of Jackie's life as a kid and adult. It has twenty-or-so black and white pictures. This book has lots of information on most of his movies. It includes all of bad things that have happened, bones that he has broken and other ways he has hurt himself over the years. I am a big Jackie Chan fan and found this book very interesting and imformitive.

    4.0 out of 5 stars La star des cascades : Jackie Chan
    Reviewed in France on March 14, 2003
    Verified Purchase
    Ce livre est très intéressant puisqu'il retrace toute la carrière de Mr. Chan jusqu'en 1997. La période la plus belle pour la star. On apprend quelques infos sur les tournages de ses films notamment sur les accidents qu'il eut lui et ses partenaires lors de scènes périeuses. Il y a aussi quelques photos au milieu du livre mais pas très nombreuses et en noir et blanc. Bien sur, il y a la classique auto-biographie au début du livre ainsi que sa filmographie. A ma grande surprise, ce livre est très plaisant à lire pour peu que l'on comprenne la langue de Shakespeare (mais un petit niveau en anglais est suffisant pour la compréhension avec un dictionnaire). On apprend aussi pas mal de choses sur ses partenaires et réalisateurs ayant collaborés à ses films. Bref, un livre très complet et peut-être le meilleur sur Jackie hormis les 2 livres qu'a écrit lui-même le personnage.
