Re: Statting Jackie Chan
Jackie was also an unaccredited stunt-fighter/extra in a few Bruce Lee movies when he was young. In a martial art documentary I saw nearly 30yrs ago and can't remember the title, Jackie and Samo both credit Bruce with stating Jackie's career: Bruce Lee overshot move and blew the choreography, putting Jackie Chan in the ER for a few days, and really upset Bruce. When Mr. Lee came to visit Chan in the hospital to apologize, Jackie refused to accept any money and was insistent that Bruce have no guilt: the job of a stunt fighter is to take the hits and make the star look good, and it would be unprofessional of Jackie to do anything other than recover promptly and return to work. Brice Lee told all of the producers and stunt experts Jackie was an impressive stunt fight with an amazing work ethic, and his name went to the top of all their lists. Samo Hung is positive Jackie could have gotten a nice sports car out of Bruce instead of a career if he wanted it... ;)

Re: Statting Jackie Chan
Well, Chuck Norris is 72, quite a bit older than both!

As far as who would win in an GURPS Battle Royale - Chan-Li-Norris: I am pretty sure under GURPS Rules, Norris and Li would surrender with broken fists after Jackie is still rolling around with 2/3rds of his bones broken! :)

Re: Statting Jackie Chan
No-one has mentioned High Pain Threshold, but I think doing stunts injured implies it and I believe the Peking Opera trained it specifically through harsh treatment.

Re: Statting Jackie Chan
I remember during the filming of one of his American films he injures his ankle/foot in such away it needed a cast. So they had wardrobe make the cast look like his costume's shoe and went back to filming

Rumble in the Bronx. There was a hovercraft involved, if I'm not mistaken too much.

High pain threshold probably is on there as well. Also I think combat reflexes, not because of his ability for actual combat, but for his ability to think quickly in hazardous situations to keep himself from getting more hurt. |

I'm not so sure about Combat Reflexes. I might give it too him just because I can't imagine him freezing if he was surprised. I'm probably giving him too much benefit of the doubt. IIRC, Jackie Chan has been in exactly 1 fight in his life--and I certainly can't make assumptions based on his movie personas. High Basic Speed, certainly. However, if we were to dip our toes into cinematic traits for a moment, if any real world person has Daredevil....
