jackie chan won't hurt people, that would ruin his public image. jackie chan hires body guards for a reason.

I am not sure when it comes to protecting the Olympic Torch-a personal touch from a trade mark Jackie Chan punch makes a better personal statement. Jackie is very patriotic, hence a place of honour reserved for him in carrying the final leg and lighting the cauldron. Even Jet Li was overlooked for this honour.

How many torch bearers run in a country's relay? A lot?

In this photo released by China's Xinhua News Agency, retired badminton player Li Lingwei runs with the torch during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games torch relay in Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province, on Sunday, May 18, 2008. The torch relay, a potent symbol of national pride in the countdown to August's much anticipated Beijing games, was suspended on Monday as China began three days of mourning for victims of the country's massive earthquake.
