Jackie Chan owns an Evo?!

[Adrian_Evo_6]

This was uploaded 4 years ago so hes probably moved onto other cars although i do believe he is sponsored by Mitsubishi so he probably was one of the first to own a 'X' when it came out.

Not a bad bit of viewing that, nice one

 

[Evo8Frankie]

hah lol he has a Evo, Legend that guy

 

[masteravatar]

I believe he has owned an Evo II, IV or VI and ofcourse that IX.

He even has his own special Jackie Chan edition evo

Jackie Chan Special Edition

He often uses evos in his movies (like the scene in Drunken Master when he is pulled for DUI in a black V) and does indeed have a relationship with Mitsubishi. "Who Am I" probably has one of the better evo scenes where he is chased in a white IV. The scene ends with a BMW getting trashed, and the BMW has about 20 cameras filming it. Mitsubishi gave him 4 evos to film the scene, but BMW only gave him one BMW so it was a one-shot deal.

As for Jackie and his secret doors and secret buttons....

Love it...

Thunderbolt is a classic of his with evos...

 

[Dirtmatt]

Haha that is awesome.. He needs more patients with the shutter, only just squeezed the car under it

He used to own a Evo 3 Rs built buy HKS AND JUN around the 550bhp mark with the only set of Volk Gold wheels which were 18carat gold plated

But great find and great guy

He is sponsored by Mitsi as said above. He used mitsi (when he needed it) in every film he was in when he was in HK

When I used to live in HK I saw a few of his cars on display. was awesome.

We watched his car collection grown when we were younger.

ep82, my family background is from HK... Whereabouts did you live?

My family live in the Tin Hau area, right by Victoria Park and I should be going back in March

Back to Jackie, that apartment/house/'secret' living space/whatever you want to call it, is wicked! Can you imagine if his place was on a Chinese edition of Come Dine With Me?!

 

[ep82]

I would imagine he is living in the new territory in HK if he wants a quiet life and not get harassed by everyone. Plus that area looks too quiet

we used to live in Kwun Tong in Kowloon and also Chai Wan on the far east of Hong kong Island. I used to live between the 2 places to be with my grand ma and nan. Moved over here when I was 9 but I go back every other year and stay with my relatives. I now stay with my uncle in Sai Wan Ho when I go back as the other places are abit small

Just talking about it is making me want to go back now. My plans to go in March have changed now so hopefully go at the end of the year instead.
How do you deal with the humidity during the Summer season?
I cant deal with it and purposely go in other seasons to avoid the heat.

LOL I don't!! I made a mistake in going back in august when I was 15 and I have never done it since
I tend to go around Jan or Feb so the temp is about 15-19 degress and the humidity is around 20%. Walking around in T-shirt half the time

 

[Adrian_Evo_6]

Haha just in case anyone else is reading this conversation or is wondering whether it can be that hot and humid, i went a couple of years ago and i remember watching the weather forecast stating 32c with 92% humidity. As i was staying in the middle of the city as well, it feels even hotter and humid because of the traffic and skyscrapers!!
I always tell my mates that i would be walking around in shorts and a tee and still be sweating whereas HK girls would be wearing clothes like it was Autumn lol

 

[ep82]

yeah. I was walking around in t-shirt in feb and everyone else is wearing their coats and scarfs.
The hottest when I went was 35 degress with 98% humidity. I feel like I can't breath


The weirdest thing happened when we went out one day in september. It was clear and hot so I was wearing a sleveless t-shirt, when we got to causeway bay it started raining for about 2 mins. I got completely soaked but was still hot. After the rain has stopped, there was steam and coming out of me. I looked at my arms and they were smoking as the water was evaporating already. Was weird to see it as I feel like a super hero like the human tourch from fantastic 4
