HOLLYWOOD - Jackie Chan has expressed frustration over the restrictions imposed on hisstunt work in American films. In an interview with the New York Times,
Chan said: "When I'm making a Hong Kong film, I'm in almost total
control. I can do this. I can do that. I can do whatever I want to do. In an
American film, you can't do that. Nobody wants to take the risk of making a
big change. No way you can do that." Interviewed on the set of his latest
film, The Tuxedo, Chan said that he is particularly frustrated by his
inability to improvise while making a film. "If you are on the set and you
think, 'Wow! I want to do that,' you cannot."
