The action icon said that he believes \u201cold movies were better.\u201d His comments have garnered significant attention on social media.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Jackie Chan calls out big studios and says \u2018Old movies were better\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jackie Chan used his appearance at the 78th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland to share candid thoughts on the current state of movie studios in Hollywood. Speaking during an interactive session with filmmaker Giona Nazzaro, the actor reflected on how the industry has changed over the decades. Chan said that big studios are increasingly run by \u201cbusiness guys\u201d rather than filmmakers, which negatively impacts creativity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe audience doesn\u2019t know about the rain or the producer, or that the budget was cut. They just want a good movie. I always remember that, so I try to make every scene perfect,\u201d Chan said. Calling the old movies \u201cbetter\u201d than what is being made today, he added, \u201cNow, these big studios, they are not filmmakers \u2013 they are business guys. It\u2019s very difficult to make a good movie these days.\u201d During the conversation, the actor also recounted highlights from his 64-year career, which included his early years in Hong Kong.\u00a0(via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/global\/jackie-chan-locarno-1236486065\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Variety;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Variety<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The occasion was also a formal tribute to Chan\u2019s achievements. At an evening ceremony in Locarno\u2019s historic Piazza Grande, the festival presented him with the Pardo alla Carriera (Career Leopard) award, honoring his contributions. Greeted with roaring applause, Chan opened with a cheerful \u201cBuona sera\u201d and waved to the crowd. He also joked about the trophy\u2019s weight, calling it \u201cvery, very heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Chan used his acceptance speech to thank the festival organizers, along with the directors and actors he has collaborated with. He also took a moment to acknowledge his loyal fans, saying, \u201cBecause of you, I am standing here.\u201d (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/jackie-chan-charms-locarno-film-festival-career-award-1236340839\/#:~:text=Hong%20Kong%20and%20global%20film%20icon%20Jackie%20Chan%20got%20a,Swiss%20town's%20Piazza%20Grande%20square.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:THR;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">THR<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1652215-jackie-chan-big-studios-comment-movies\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2025\/08\/11\/jackie-chan-big-studios-comment-movies\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jackie Chan Slams Big Studios, Says \u2018They\u2019re Not Filmmakers\u2019;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Jackie Chan Slams Big Studios, Says \u2018They\u2019re Not Filmmakers\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
