As he returns to the franchise, Jackie Chan revealed that he did not train for the stunts in the film.

While he performed all of his own stunts in ‘Karate Kid: Legends,’ the action star admitted that he could not do everything he could early in his career.

“I’m not liked I used to be when I was 20, and could do a triple kick in the sky. Now, I do one kick,” Jackie Chan said.
