Jackie Chan Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

The Forbidden Kingdom Release — The claim that 'The Last Emperor' (1987) was a Hollywood-Chinese co-production is factually incorrect; it was a British-Italian-Chinese co-production.

The Forbidden Kingdom Release — The claim that Jackie Chan performed high-altitude stunts without safety wires is inaccurate; safety wires were used and digitally removed in post-production.

Rumble in the Bronx Premiere — The film 'Rumble in the Bronx' is set in Vancouver, Canada, not New York City.

Rumble in the Bronx Premiere — 'Police Story' (1985) and 'Armour of God' (1986) were not US-released films prior to 'Rumble in the Bronx'; they were Hong Kong films that only gained wider US release later.

Wing Chun Kung Fu — The 'Did You Know' section incorrectly states 'Chan portrayed Hsu Yiu Fong in the 1978 film, not Wong Kei-ying', implying he never played Wong Kei-ying, but he did play Wong Kei-ying in 1979's 'Dragon Fist'.

Project A — The film 'Project A' was released in 1983, but the correct year is 1982 (Hong Kong premiere on December 22, 1982, with wider release in 1983).

Project A — Sammo Hung played Fei, but Fei is a street-smart con artist and friend, not a pirate leader; the pirate leader is San-pao (played by Dick Wei).

Armour of God — The film was not Jackie Chan's third directorial effort; his first was The Young Dragons (1975), his second was The Fearless Hyena (1979), but his third was Dragon Lord (1982), not Armour of God. Armour of God was his fourth directorial effort.

Shanghai Knights — Roy O'Bannon does not serve in the British Army; he is a con man who impersonates a British officer.

Shanghai Knights — The tagline 'Two friends clash in the foggy streets of Victorian London' is not the official tagline; the actual tagline is 'A royal kick in the pants.'

The Medallion — The antagonist's name is 'Snakehead' (or 'Snakehead the Sorcerer'), not 'Tang Shen / Dark Sorcerer'.

The Medallion — The protagonist's name is 'Eddie Yang' (or 'Eddie'), not 'Jin'.
