Jackie CHAN-uary - The Myth (2005) extended audio
Happy Jackie Chan-uary everyone!
In this series we are taking a look at four of our favorite movies from one of our favorite martial artists/actors - the one and only Jackie Chan!
Our second movie for this year's Jackie CHAN-uary is The Myth - a 2005 Hong Kong—Chinese martial arts fantasy film directed by Stanley Tong, starring Jackie Chan, Kim Hee-Sun, Mallika Sheriwat, and Tony Leung Ka-Fai.
A smash hit in China but a dismal failure in The West, The Myth sees Jackie Chan take on two roles, a modern day archeologist and a Qin Dynasty warrior over two millenniums ago.
