JACKIE, SAMMO AND YUEN TOGETHER AGAIN?

It's been 17 years since the martial arts three musketeers - Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao - have worked together but now Jackie says they're all going to be part of his upcoming PROJECT BB (scroll down the page for the info). The movie about three thieves who steal a baby had announced a cast of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Eric Tsang, but at the Pusan Film Festival Jackie said that his two martial arts "brothers" would be cast, and that he might even add a Korean star to the mix as well.

Jackie, Sammo and Yuen all learned Chinese opera under Master Jim Yuen when they were kids, and Sammo is the older brother of the three. Originally Sammo was the bigger star and the first to make it in movies, but a series of flops and a divorce damaged his celebrity status and he was eclipsed by Jackie's meteoric rise to fame. Yuen Biao was the younger brother and he has been plagued by gambling debts and lousy movies for the past ten years and fallen further than either Sammo or Jackie ever has. The three reportedly fell out in 1988 after making their classic DRAGONS FOREVER, and although Sammo has worked with Yuen since then and Jackie has worked with Sammo, the three haven't teamed up since that 1988 film.

Of course, Jackie says a lot of things, but let's all hope this one is true.
