Since I have not seen the battle where Jackie Chan is a judge I'm not sure if it is the one next Friday, Battle sea bass with Michiba and Chin sans. I'm a big fan of Jackie Chan the super action hero and comedy star. I have all of his movies on dvd and/or video, have all his cd's(really love his singing voice) all his books, five giant size JC posters, tee shirts, jewelry, etc. I don't care to ever meet him in person, or know what his personal life is like but he is the greatest action hero and comedy star on the big screen, in my humble opinion. I hope the show next Friday is the one he is in. For sure it will be entertaining.

Yes, it doesn't list him in the book. He must have been on one of the shows that was not taped. I can't find him listed in any of the shows on the tasting panel. Must have been when Fuji TV was showing them in Japanese, in San Francisco.

I guess that Jackie Chan had a japanese translator with him, because I don't think that he speaks Japanese.

I don't know if he speaks it but he does sing in Japanese. My favorite song by him is called "Tokyo Saturday night" which he sings in Japanese. He does a couple more, too but I don't know the English names of the songs.

Jackie was born in Hong Kong, April 7, 1954,and lived there all his young life. Jackie's given name was Chan Kong-sang, which means "Born in Hong Kong". He was born in the year of the horse, same as me. His father was the cook for the French Ambasador to HK, and his mom was the housekeeper, they lived at the Ambassador's home. When Jackie was seven he was placed in an opera academy where he developed the stunts, acting, acrobatics, kung-fu and other abilities that he would use the rest of his life making his movies. Jackie's bio is very interesting.

Jackie Chan was a judge for the Hong Kong special. Unfortunately, there are no copies available at this time, and further rebroadcasts of this special outside of Japan are blocked by PRC governmental entities. It would be nice if someone in Japan would post this on YouTube, but after 20 years of waiting, I'm not holding my breath. It was re-aired on SkyPerfect pay channels several times in the early 2000's, so there should be copies in private collections in Japan.

Ah, yes, the Hong Kong Special - one of the very few remaining episodes from ICJ that we have not had access to in the USA.

The only battles remaining which are not available to be viewed somewhere, in some format, are the 1995 Battles Swordfish and Avocado, and the first two specials, Mr. Iron Chef 1994 and the Hong Kong Harbor Special from 1995.

The 1994 Mr. Iron Chef tournament is my most-desired pair of episodes, if for no other reason that Kandagawa was the star!
