HONG KONG (AP) - Jackie Chan is known for playing the lovable, comical action hero, but the "Rush Hour" star takes on an unusually dark role as a desperate Chinese immigrant who becomes a hit man for a Japanese gangster in his return to Chinese-language film.

Action star Jackie Chan has injured his chest while shooting movie sequel Rush Hour 3. The Hong Kong actor was hit with a steel-reinforced wooden table, just months after he was kicked in the same place while shooting Rob-B-Hood.
