Late February 2005, with the new year's breath not yet dispersed, Shanghai secretly welcomed a familiar international movie star. Having had "New Police Story" performing well on the mainland, Jackie Chan burst into action once more. It may be said that Jackie Chan is the most successful international movie star. In the last 40 years, one would say he had very few worthy opponents in this field.

After the Spring Festival gala in Shanghai, according to reports, Jackie Chan indeed did a shoot for an automobile advertisement. Although many fans might try to follow him, Jackie traveled on the condition of heavy security.

Jackie indicated he was very happy to cooperate with this cooperation. "I really like this vehicle. I used to pay more attention to more race cars, but this type of vehicle is practical and has multiple uses. I'm really sold. When they asked me to become a spokesperson, I was very willing to be a part of the development."

Certainly a "good horse must match the saddle". So inviting Jackie Chan to film the ad meant the script and director would definitely have to be of very high standard. Although the present ad's plot and content have not been revealed to the public, it goes through many places and personnel. Reporters have seen news briefs. Jackie is maintaining his difficult action moves for the audience. From going from a passenger vehicle to another large truck, rode on a motorcycle at high speed on the highway, and "flew" to another vehicle. Only seeing a brief part of the action was thrilling enough to put one into a sweat. Jackie drives on the highway freely shuttling back and forth. He's crazy, turning about 180 degrees but with so much control. His flexibility is on full display.

Truly, being a spokesman for an advertisement is only a small part of Jackie's fully stuffed schedule. Movies are his main concern. After shooting the ad, he soon will make a big Hollywood movie, cooperating with a famous Hong Kong "hui" (organization). About his future roles, Jackie expressed he was still determined to work with Hollywood. Recently news spread that Rush Hour 3 was in the works. With Jackie as a spokesperson, perhaps he could have the automobile appear in Rush Hour 3, and perhaps do a little trick driving.

The other day it was reported Jackie Chan shot an ad for a multi-purpose passenger vehicle.  This time the place chosen for the shoot was on a highway in the outskirts of Shanghai.  During the shoot, Jackie Chan did practically each shot himself.  In creating a high speed car scene, Jackie stood on the passenger vehicle and attempted to board a large truck next to him going at the same speed.  Jackie made the jump back and forth several times smoothly without a hitch, leaping quickly to the truck.  The entire process was only minutes long, truly revealing Jackie's skill and health.  One can't help but remember Jackie's countless thrilling films.  It's impossible to see a 50 year old man here.  After the shoot was finished, the workers shouted aloud with satisfaction.
