Jackie Chan dislocated shoulder filming 'Karate Kid: Legends' fight scene - and Joshua Jackson 'took every punch,' director says
Briefly

The latest entry in the 'Karate Kid' franchise, 'Karate Kid: Legends,' set to premiere on May 30, features a teen protagonist named Li Fong. After relocating from China to New York, Li, trained in Kung Fu by Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), encounters local characters and navigates a karate tournament. Director Jonathan Entwistle emphasizes the respect for original characters, especially Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). Behind the scenes, Chan showcased impressive stunt direction despite facing injuries, making for an exhilarating production.
"One of the most indelible cultural concepts in the world is Mr. Miyagi and wax on, wax off. There are very few people over 30 who don't know that."
"His ability to direct the stunts and direct the stunt team and the stunt actors was just incredible to watch."
