Do you think Hollywood doesn't do justice with Jackie Chan?

You are absolutely correct with your ysis, he isn't given his due. I've seen supercop, condor and drunken master in addition to his more american-themed movies like rumble in the bronx. Hollywood has a history of ping over having asian leads in movies, which is why they always pair jackie up with someone instead of giving him his own movie. It's sad, because he's been busting his a$$ since the 70's. Bruce lee hit a similar wall when he first came to the states and was either relegated to sidekick status (Cato in the Green Hornet) or ignored altogether (He was supposed to star in the clic tv show Kung fu, but they ditched him for David Carridine because they didn't think America would respond well).
