Description

Two people who know Jackie Chan, literally and figuratively, are my guests this week. Mike Leeder was on set of DRUNKEN MASTER II. He is a fixture in the Hong Kong action scene. Mike did stunts on THE RAID 2, fighter casting on the MAN OF TAI CHI, Hong Kong casting for THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS, he was the Asia Casting Director for RUSH HOUR 3, and on and on. My other guest is Joshua James, who wrote the Jean Claude Van Damme film POUND OF FLESH, Josh is a screenwriter and martial artist. The three of us have a wide-ranging discussion about the entire career of Jackie Chan on this week's episode, with remarkable behind-the-scenes insight from Mike, who has been in and around many of these films in one way or another for decades. Check out Mike's distribution company 88 Films - they have released a bunch of the Jackie Chan movies on Blu-ray with commentaries and special features at https://88-films.myshopify.com You can also read more about martial arts and movies in Josh's sub stack at https://joshuatoddjames.substack.com/p/coming-soon
