Jackie Chan in pain from recent chest injury

Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan today said he was still in pain from a recent chest injury sustained while filming his latest movie, Rob-B-Hood.

“It’s still swollen. It really hurts,” he said while attending the opening festivities of a Hong Kong rugby tournament.

Chan said an X-ray showed no broken bones, but cartilage injury.

“Breathing hurts. … It hurts to draw my fist. It’s been hard filming fight scenes these past two days,” Chan said.

He said Rob-B-Hood, reportedly about gangsters who kidnap a baby, still had a week’s filming left.

The chest injury was inflicted March 23 when a stuntman wearing the wrong shoes kicked Chan.

Chan has suffered numerous injuries from performing his own stunts.
