ASK Benny Chan about his real challenge in making Rob-B-Hood and chances are the good-natured director will tell you that it’s Jackie Chan.
“It’s always a headache thinking of a new role for tai kor (i.e. Big Brother, as Jackie is fondly known in Chinese showbiz circles),” says Benny with a smile. “This time, he tells me that he wants to be a thief. But he doesn’t want to be a thief who steals things. So I thought of a thief who steals a baby because a baby is the most precious thing to parents.”
