Monkey needs bigger speaking role in next movie


Didn't seem like jackie chan spoke much lines in this movie

It's because Jackie Chan barely speaks English to begin with. I know he's a martial arts living legend and everything, but he has no business doing animated films.

Jackie Chan is very funny, but he's definitely more of a physical comedian (i.e. Buster Keaton) than he is at delivering funny lines. He's mainly in the movie just because it would be cool to have a real martial arts legend in Kung Fu Panda.

Yeah, most of the lines go to the tigress, the bird, and the bug or whatever the hell that thing is. The snake and the monkey don't have much to do or say. Chan has been in lots of movies speaking lots of English. They could certainly give him more to say, if they wanted to.
