https://www.quora.com/Is-Jackie-Cha...inment-industry


quote:

Question: Is Jackie Chan an rear end in a top hat jerk in his personal life, even though he has a wonderful nice guy respectable image as a professional in the entertainment industry?

However, it’s clear from Chan’s personal life that he isn’t always the pleasant character that he portrays in the majority of his films.


  • He was apparently a bully when he started off as a stuntman - He would start fights with people just to beat them up. He did this for quite some time.
  • He squandered a great deal of his money before he was famous on whores, drinking, and gambling - He didn’t spend it on his family who needed it.
  • He is obsequious in his praise of Mainland China - Jackie Chan takes his praise of the mainland far beyond the point necessary being a star trying to garner publicity. He’s been called out on his toadyish behavior several times by the Hong Kong and Taiwan medias.
  • He’s not much of parent - Even he admits that his parenting skills are sorely lacking. Worst of all, he doesn’t seem to be too interested in working on that, as exhibited by his lesbian daughter’s current financial issues. Add: disowning his son publicly when he got busted for pot. throwing said son across the room when he was TWO while fighting with his wife.
  • He seems to be a hypocrite, but he won’t acknowledge it - Despite the fact that he’s from Hong Kong and had previously take part in protests, he now condemns it. He talks about family and marriages failing in the modern permissive society, but he’s been a failure at both. And he complains about America and Hollywood, when both made him far wealthier than he could have ever been. Basically the man is a walking contradiction and he won’t admit it.


Not the best person out there, however.

Let another's wounds be your warning
I was about to suggest that an F40, like most of the 'supercars' of it's day was grossly underpowered by today's standards and wouldn't be as thrilling as we all think, but just looked it up and drat, 478-484hp and a top speed of 200mph is not a bad shout for the late 80s.

And i'm guesing that's raw, unadulterated power to the tarmac that isnt hobbled by pesky things such as traction control, abs, lsd's et al. so yeah, you're gonna spin out on the first 20 degree bend in the road and hit a tree with no side impact protection and you'll love every second of it.

F40 competizione had a bonkers 691hp with a top speed of 228 as well. There is nothing about that car that makes any compromise to being a road car other than the minimum safety requirements. It's a complete body on tube frame construction and few cars have matched its uncompromising track priority.
