Egan Inoue
MMA star of The Champion Hawaii and owner of The Studio

Overall, what did you think? I liked the show. I really did. I thought it was real different for Jackie Chan. My daughter, though, she was just like, “Eh, it was all right.” (Laughs)

On a scale of one to four stars, what would you rate this movie? I would say this was ★★★ for me. I could see where a lot of people might not like a movie like this, but I did because it’s something kind of like what I’ve experienced in my life and career, and I’ve been a part of that.
