Man!
(audience cheers)
Thanks so much for coming, Jackie.
Thank you.
We're big fans of yours
and we're really excited to have you with us.
Thank you
And I want to point out, first of all,
we just showed a clip and people in America...
they see a lot of stunts, a lot of the time.
And I should point out
that that is really you doing all your own stunts.
That's really you hanging off the helicopter
Yes
Being smashed through a sign
15 days everyday, 7 o'clock in the morning.
So you're doing all this stuff yourself?
Yes.
How? Do you actually get insured?
Do the movie companies insure you?
No, for long time ago all the
insurance company put on the first black list,
and Jackie Chan black list and the Jackie Chan
stunt team all black list.
(Conan and audience laugh)
They're not gonna even talk to you.
Yeah.
They call, you try different voices.
And they're like, no, hang up, alright
No, no, none of one.
No, that's Jackie Chan
I'm telling you.
Now you've been hurt too.
You've been badly hurt sometimes.
What was the worst injury that you ever
got doing a stunt?
The worst one is in in Yugoslavia.
I got...almost get killed.
No, from the castle jumped through the tree.
You jumped from a castle onto a tree.
The tree bend to another castle,
then they run away.
Okay. Sounds simple.
I could do that. No problem.
(audience laughs)
The trees just break it.
I just straight fall down.
Wait, how far did you fall?
Like that 25 feet
25 feet?
So you had time to like read on the way down.
That's a pretty long fall.
Well, yeah.
I tried to grab a tree,
but just keep breaking.
You're like Wile E. Coyote.
You're trying to run up the tree.
If the cameraman can push me, I'm safe.
But the camera man just pick up the camera,
they run away.
(Conan and audience laugh)
I just fall on my head.
They ran away?
Yeah
Oh my God. Okay.
Then all of blood just from my...
Then I run to the hospital.
Oh my God.
Big operation.
But you're fine now, you're in great health.
You're doing all that stuff.
You know, I don't know if you
know much about me or you probably
haven't seen this show before,
but I'm known in America as
an incredible martial artist-
You (audience laughs)
myself.
I don't know why this audience laughed at that
(audience laughs)
but these people aside...
Yeah. I'm actually really incredible,
my skills are really amazing.
(punching sound effects play)
(audience laughs and applauds)
(kicking sound effect plays)
(audience applauds)
This interview is over.
(audience laughs)
Very nice. All right.
Well, we'll just call that a truce
so I think it's about a tie,
don't you think?
(audience applauds)
I think it was tied.
(audience applauds)
The...(Conan giggles)
Man, the colors I can see now.
All right.
You know, I know that I've seen you other places
and I've heard you talk before,
and you've always said you've
been very influenced by American movies,
silent movies, Buster Keaton.
But what I didn't know is you're also influenced
by American television.
Is that right?
Yes. I've been learning a lot from, you know,
the funniest video.
Wait!
America's funniest home videos
Yes, yes.
That influenced you?
Yeah, because (Conan giggles)
when I'm making a movie...
Really... I like comedy.
Ah ha.
So when I look and smile, everything's my...
it's a comedy.
Then I keep my mind.
Do you actually get ideas
from America's funniest home videos?
I remember, I see one...
one day I saw in the video
there's a child playing a...
well, taking a shower, drinking a bubble, you know, the-
Oh, drinking, like the the soap,
drinking the liquid soap.
Then suddenly the the bubble from the mouth.
Then I said, that's funny.
(Conan and audience laugh)
Yeah!
That's how we do it too.
Yeah (audience laughs)
We watch what babies do and recreate it here.
When the movie I was doing, like
in Dragon Master 2
Yes.
At the end...
it's the good timing I have to use the bubble.
(Conan laughs)
So this one I just...
all the bubble comes out.
That whole theater just love it.
(Conan laughs)
And then actually you were sued
by the baby, right?
(audience laughs)
Baby was like, that's my bit.
Give it back.
(audience laughs and claps)
I still learned a lot
from, really, learning a lot from American TV.
Oh, well.
Even the angles... know everything.
Okay. Can you hang on for one second?
'Cause I wanna do a commercial.
We're going to be right back
ladies and gentlemen with...
(punching sound effects play)
Okay.
Watch it.
Okay. Watch it.
I had to show him who's boss
just before we go to commercial.
We'll come back more with
Jackie Chan in just a second.
