Jackie Chan
HONG KONG: It may be a well-worn cliche, but for Hong Kong star Jackie Chan, action really does speak louder than words — at least when it comes to English dialogue that is. The actor is often frustrated by his inability to deliver his English lines smoothly during shooting of Rush Hour 3, according to a journal entry on his website on Saturday. "To me, action scenes are so easy, but dialogue scenes drive me crazy. The directors and producers want me to speak everything perfectly," he wrote while filming in Los Angeles. "Sometimes when a word is in the past tense or plural, I get confused. It is hard to remember lengthy dialogue and still sound natural. I have to say my lines over and over again until I get it right," he said. "I want to ask them, `Can I speak Jackie Chan English?'" Rush Hour 3 is due for release next year. — AP
