Love how he rags on Seagal and Van Damme et. al. in that one article for "creating one image". Isn't that pretty much what Chan has done nearly his entire career? He may hop genres, but he's almost always playing Jackie Chan. He doesn't exactly disappear into a role. Of course, that's why I like him, but still . . .

Avianna Chow, the Olympic pistol shooting competitor name-checked at the end of this article, has also been in the news here recently for her vocal opposition to the controversial decision by Toronto's mayor to close down recreational shooting ranges, including the one where she honed the skills that got her to the Olympics.
