HONG KONG (AP) -- Jackie Chan says he's still in pain from a recent chest injury sustained while filming his latest movie, ''Rob-B-Hood.''

''It's still swollen. It really hurts,'' the 51-year-old action star told reporters Friday at the opening festivities of a Hong Kong rugby tournament.

Chan, whose screen credits include roles in the ''Rush Hour'' movies, said an X-ray showed no broken bones but cartilage injury.

''Breathing hurts. ... It hurts to draw my fist. It's been hard filming fight scenes these past two days,'' he said.

Chan was injured March 23 when a stuntman wearing the wrong shoes kicked him.

He has suffered numerous injuries performing his own stunts.

I wish they would explain the 'wrong shoes' business. Was the stunt man just back from a round of golf and forgot to change out of his spikes? Do they normally wear some sort of padded shoe for kick shots? Was he wearing stiletto heels or Frankenstein monster clodhoppers?

Seriously - they had to be some seriously "wrong" shoes to have caused more damage than usual from being kicked in the chest.

Speaking of this movie, does anyone know the Chinese characters so it can added to the database?

It might be in this story, as I believe Project BB is an alt title?
