Jackie Chan Got Minor Injury In Rush Hour 3 scene

|

Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan injured his chest again while filming a fight scene for "Rush Hour 3," but doctors said it wasn't a major injury, according to the veteran action star's website.


Chan, 52, injured his chest in March when a stunt man wearing the wrong shoes kicked him during the shooting of a scene for his recent action comedy, "Rob-B-Hood."

This time, he was hit by a steel-reinforced wooden table, Chan said in a posting dated Nov. 27.

Chan said he tried to work through the pain, wearing a stunt belt across his upper chest and taking medication, but the movie's producers eventually sent him to a doctor. An X-ray cleared him of broken bones or organ injury, he said.

"I was in a lot of pain because it was in the same spot where I had gotten hurt during the filming of Rob-B-Hood," he said.

Chan has suffered numerous injuries throughout his career. He said in an interview last year that he usually feels pain in his waist, knees and shoulders when he wakes up.

In the "Rush Hour" series, Chan plays a Hong Kong police officer and Chris Tucker portrays his Los Angeles counterpart, with the movie's humor drawing on cultural differences between the two.

"Rush Hour 3," directed by Brett Ratner, is due for release next year.>
