With a record number of 100 films featured in, martial art hero and comic actor, Jackie Chan finally announces his retirement from action movie. This he made known at the launch of his new and last action film titled 'Chinese Zodiac' held this month at the Cannes Film Festival.
''The world is too violent right now. It's a dilemma. I love fighting. I love action but don't like violence.''
Those were the words of 58 year old Jackie as he agreed he's really come of age and also admits he's scared of increasing violence in wilder world as well as the fact that physical strain has become too hard to cope with.
Born in Hong Kong, started his film career with late Bruce Lee in movies such as 'Enter The Dragon' and 'Fist of Fury' in the early 70s, but got his big breakthrough as an actor and film maker in 1978 with the popular film 'Snake in the Eagle Shadow.'
