Otherwise, you might as well be watching figure skating.One of the many things that makes Jackie Chan such a genius is that not only can he do those things, but he can do them AND deliver a real performance that sells it for you. When he gets hit, the whole audience winces -- that's a kind of acting, for sure.Doesn't win Oscars but then look who wins Oscars...</blockquote>
