  At this time, Jackie had finished shooting for Project A and was working on editing.In Hong Kong, The five lucky stars began to air.In the US, The cannonball run Ⅱ was filmed.And in Japan, his old movie 成龍拳 began to air.

  Since there are no plans for new movies to be shown in Japan, this magazine mainly features his daily photos.

 First, 13 pages of photos taken in Hong Kong.

​ But what's interesting about this magazine is that it has many snapshots of his day-to-day filmmaking in Arizona.

 At that time, Chinese Kun-fu was a big boom in Japan.This magazine also sold items using their images for those who wanted to be like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.

​ In addition, the number of dojos for teaching Chinese kempo in Japan has increased. (Maybe it was a fake)

​ He was always with his dad but not with his mom. The reporter asked him what she was like.

   He said that she usually lived in Australia and didn't want to come to Hong Kong because she didn't like to ride a plane for a long time.

   When Jackie was filming a movie in Taiwan, his mom came to see it, but at that time, Jackie broke his nose during a fight, and the mother who heard it fainted. The next day she returned to Australia.

​ At the time of filming for Project A, there was a scene where he fell from a high clock tower, but the dad who was in Hong Kong at that time did not come to see.
