Chinese Zodiac is almost out, but there are still a lot of countries that haven’t seen the film yet (like the US!) While in Korea, Jackie encountered a case of piracy, and revealed some details regarding the official release.
“While promoting CZ12 in Korea, a fan asked me to autograph a video. I said that the official one isn’t out yet, this is pirated. When he found out he immediately threw away the video. Sigh, every time I see counterfeits I would be very heartbroken because I don’t want viewers to watch anything that is roughly produced and illegal. Here again I urge everyone to boycott piracy. In the official video I will add over ten minutes of unreleased footage, like scenes that were left on the cutting room floor and my fight scene with Kwon Sang-Woo and a French fighter. They are great. In addition it will also have a lot of behind the scene secrets, like the 8 locations on 5 continents, special effect scene production trilogy process, comparison with the initial set designs to actual constructions. The high quality edition is worthy of viewers’ collection! Thank you everyone!”
I’ve already got my copy pre-ordered and eagerly await it’s release. Are you guys excited about this “unseen” fight? I hope that it was just cut for time, and that we’ll be able to see that Chan magic once more.
