Movie Fact - Jackie Chan's Oscar Award Victory!

Last year, people celebrated the triumphant achievement of Leonardo DiCaprio's highly demanded Oscar win!

Iñárritu's semi-biopic epic, The Revenant. But Leonardo DiCaprio is not the only one who deserves to get a long-awaited recognition, because...

Yep, after two-hundred plus movies and several life-threatening injuries brought upon by his deadly stunt work, including those of him appearing as a Bruce Lee stunt double in one of the Dragon's films, only now did he get an Oscar. He was introduced by his former Rush Hour co-star Chris Rock, alongside Tom Hanks and Michelle Yeoh. Jackie Chan gave an inspiring thank to all of his fans for their endless support in his Facebook account.

It’s been 56 years since I filmed my first movie when I was six, and I’ve worked on over 200 films to date. I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to the Oscars for giving me this award of encouragement and recognizing my achievements while I’m still "young". I’m absolutely honored to be the first Chinese in history to receive this award.

The JC Stunt Team has always had a motto: We don’t ask why, we just do or die. This was one of our fundamental principles, and also a kind of passionate attitude that we, as action movie stars, kept at heart. To be honest, making an action movie isn’t easy. It’s normal for us to get hurt and bleed. Many of us have sustained a body full of injuries and I’m no exception to the case. That’s why I’d like to share this honor with my brothers of the JC Stunt Team who have been with me through good times and bad times over the many years, and I’d like to share this award with every action movie star from all over the world!

I’d like to say thank you to my family; thank you to every outstanding, talented and professional person I’ve worked with on the movie set; and thank you to all the business partners who have continuously supported me. I’ve actually set myself a “little goal” and hope that this honorary golden statue won’t be my last one. I don’t think the Oscars have a rule where you can’t win another golden statue after receiving an honorary award, right?

I’d also like to take this opportunity to say a big heartfelt thank you to all my fans who have endlessly given me so much support. You’re the reason why I’m motivated to keep moving forward. Thank you!

從6歲開始拍電影，到今年已經56年，作品超過200部，很感謝奧斯卡在我還打得動的時候，給了我這樣一個鼓勵，也非常榮幸成為第一次獲得這個榮譽的華人。

很多年前成家班就經常說一句話，We don't ask why, we just do or die.這是我們的信條，也是所有動作電影人的態度。拍動作電影很辛苦，受傷流血是常事，很多人都落了一身傷病，我自己也不例外。所以，奧斯卡這份榮譽，我要把它要与几十年來与我共同出生入死的成家班兄弟，与全世界的動作電影人一起分享！

感謝我的家人，感謝多年來所有优秀又敬業的戲中搭檔，還有所有支持我的合作伙伴。而且，我還有個“小目標”，那就是希望這座小金人不是我的最后一座，奧斯卡應該沒規定拿完終身成就獎就不能再拿別的獎了吧！

最后，感謝全世界一直支持我的影迷們，你們是我繼續前進的動力！

Wow, he truly deserved that Oscar! After all, doing actual stunts is no easy task! Besides, he did appear in a lot of my childhood favorite action-comedy movies. This man is truly a legend, and he indeed deserves to achieve such an honor! Before we officially end this reasonably short post, here is a look back at Jackie Chan through the ages, in this small, simple tribute made by the YouTube channel known only as "THE MASTER". Stay tuned for more Dateline Movies!
