Jackie Chan’s Major Injuries: A Catalogue Of Pain


Jackie Chan is an international action star. Famously, Chan does his own stunts. And the man has the broken bones to prove it.

In Japan, his latest film, titled Raising Dragon (ライジング・ドラゴン) in Japanese and CZ12 in English, is being promoted with a poster that catalogues all of Chan’s major injuries over the years. Also included in the list are the movies in which the injuries occurred (Note that the years are the Japanese releases).
