   Joseph Nebus to All   
   3 August 2007 - Jackie Chan, Simon Pegg,   
   07 Aug 07 23:41:00   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Jackie Chan:   
   	- You can't eat a fudgsicle in a white suit.   
   	   
   	- He's got a hit show in China, The Next Great Action Star.  He needs   
   personality, be like him.  Know how to dance, to sing.  People were more   
   impressed with his singing than his stunts.  He tries singing War (huh) What   
   Is It Good For?  Somersaults,    
   gymnastics, not just fighting.  Fighting with *rhythm*.  Why is the band   
   playing music?   
   	   
   	- He realized he needs to write the rhythm to get his fights scene   
   interesting: bing bong bing bing bong.  He has a sound for broken glasses.  He   
   demonstrates, getting really close, so Conan's whole life flashes before his   
   eyes, and it's boring.  They    
   give a demonstration with the band playing music.   
   	   
   	- He doesn't dance naturally, as everyone will stare at him.  So he rocks   
   back and forth, like high schoolers do, and waves.   
   	   
   	- He encourages actors to do their own stunts.  Chris Tucker was lazy, hiding   
   in the trailer.  Someday his grandchildren will ask ``Who's that?'' and he has   
   to trust Chan that he'll make him an action star.   
   	   
   	- They actually did fight on the real Eiffel Tower.  He got to use it as his   
   personal night light to tease Chris Tucker.  How many people get the chance to   
   hang outside the actual Eiffel Tower?   
   	   
   	- He accidentally dropped ... I think his female co-star, but it was an   
   accident, and to save her he had to grab her by the breasts.   
      
      
   Simon Pegg:   
   	- He felt the zombie genre was destroyed by Michael Jackson.  Zombies   
   shouldn't dance.   
   	   
   	- Do his United Kingdom fans accuse him of Going Hollywood?  Yes: He wasn't   
   going to do Mission Impossible 3, he told an interview.  Then Abrams called   
   him to ask if he would.  But if naming something ridiculous and gets the job   
   ... why not try it?   
   	   
   	- He's a Star Wars fan.  He owns six light sabres.  They're such cool toys.    
   His really work, except for not killing a man.  His wife thinks he's a geek,   
   so he has to include his wife to play.  They go into the bedroom with them,   
   turn out the lights, he    
   strips to his underwear, and stands with the light sabre on, lit by the   
   glittering majesty of his wand.  Turn it off, disappear, sneak ... not   
   necessarily a prelude to sex, as she's laughing for thirty minutes after he   
   stops ...   
   	   
   	- He needs an airplane-friendly replacement for swear words, annoying, since   
   the people offended know the words used to be there.  So they try making the   
   most ridiculous replacements.   
      
      
   Just Jack:   
   	- From 'Overtones': Starz in their Eyes.
