Jackie Chan Had to Keep a Buddhist Prayer in His Pocket to Film One Scene in 1985’s ‘Police Story’
America first took notice of chop-socky wizard Jackie Chan in the 1985 free-for-all Police Story — and our love affair with the action star is still going strong.
An astonishing number of “glass” sugar panes were shattered in one of the many memorable set-pieces, but Chan will likely never be able to forget one scene — which was kept in the finished movie — in which he suffered second-degree burns, spine injuries and dislocation of his pelvis from sliding down a high, lights-festooned pole.
Chan was reportedly scared to do the stunt, so one of the stuntmen gave him a Buddhist prayer to keep in his pocket for luck.
