Beyond the flying fists

Jackie Chan's enduring appeal brings fans together as filmmakers consider where Chinese action cinema goes next.

Malaysia rarely sees typhoons. So when Typhoon Dolphin struck Shanghai recently, a Malaysian couple experienced one for the first time.

Their flight was delayed, then rescheduled. After they finally boarded, the plane returned to the airport. They spent 30 hours stranded before eventually getting seats on a replacement flight to Harbin.

They had crossed nearly half the world for one reason: to see their idol, Jackie Chan.
