11/08/2014 The One Show

Tonight's guest holds the record for the most outtakes in a film ever.

Right. So, we'll make sure we get the introright. OK, yes. Practice?

Nervous but I'll give it my best. Welcome to the One Shoe... You said

shoe. Hello welcome to the One Shoe show... Hello and welcome to The One

Show with Dan Snow. And Dan Snow. And Alex Jones. And Alex Ferguson.

Not even close. Just run the titles. Hello and welcome to The One Show.

With Dan Snow. And Alex Jones! Yes. And the man who once did 2900

takes of a single film scene. It's kung fu legend Jackie Chan.

APPLAUSE Hi, Jackie, how are you? Good, good,

good. Lovely to have you with us. Thank you. I love your shirt with JC

on it: Jackie Chan. Snazzy! 2900 takes, that's a record for even me.

If you knew me, you know, that's a lot. I think it's an all-time

record, nobody do that except me. What went wrong and how long did it

take? Two days. All my colleagues were like, Jackie, let's break up

for two or three shots and I was like, no, one shot, one take. So it

was you that made it happen? Yes. It's a long scene but here is a

taste of it. The whole hospital, half the hospital is on my team!

Yes. Broken arms, broken ankles, just

crazy. When I was young, really, really crazy. We are going to talk

some more about your injuries later because there's quite a few.

We'll see Jackie in action later. Plus Kate Adie is here to tell us

about the brave British women on the home front of World War I. People

have responded generously to the Disasters Emergency Committee

appeal. Their money has made up a large part of the ?6 million. A

freelance journalist in Gaza have been recording a video diary of his

experiences for us showing how badly needed the relief money is. The

views he expresses are his own. Zur zur is a journalist living in

Gaza. Normally his job will be to help reporters. But for The One

Show, he's telling his own personal story. I live here for 17 years, but

I really cannot recognise where I am now. People here came to check on

their houses but the bombardments still go on. He's been posting films

on social media to show what has been happening around him in Gaza.

So far, he's lost several relatives in the conAtlantic since July 8th.

-- conflict. It's wraet that the British public

are donating money for the DEC appeal.

Here are some of the things I have seen during recent weeks. Here is

how I think the money could help us. This is my home. His home is

uninhabitable. He manages to salvage what he can. The blanket for my

newborn baby. We bought it for him and he never used it. His wife,

three children and parents are living elsewhere for the moment.

65,000 people are now homeless after their homes were severely damaged or

destroyed, and the UN put building restoration who housing ahone at $10

million. A million and a half people have no or very limited access to

water or sanitation. In Israel, dozens of communities

have been evacuated to shelter from rocket fire and 67 people have died,

including three civilians. On July 16th, Zuhair tried to reach

the city as part of his job. But his car is flagged down to take an

injured boy to hospital. An airstrike has hit the beach.

When Zuhair asks him what happened, he says the earn who was with him is

killed -- the person who was with him was killed and he asks Zuhair to

call his father. We know that four children were killed by that same

airstrike as they played on the beach. The following day, the

Israeli government said its military does not target civilians. It said

the target of the may value attack was Hamas operatives and that

civilian casualties were a tragic outcome.

It's rockets. I can still hear the drones playing all over the sky of

Gaza. Well, people are scared. We are trying to contact my family, my

friends. The only electricity plant in Gaza

has been knocked out and there are claims that hospitals are

increasingly relying on generators. Israel say the electricity station

was hit by accident. There are 1.8 million people living in the Gaza

Strip. The Disasters Emergency Committee says almost 1.5 million

were already receiving UN food aid before the conflict. That's 80%.

After three weeks of airstrikes, Zuhair was able to visit his family

in their temporary accommodation. My home is partly destroyed. My

family became displaced. We are waiting for the moment that we can

live again under one roof together. Just unthinkable, isn't it? It is.

Thanks so much to Zuhair for sending us that message. Jackie, your family

are no strangers to conflict. Your father left China during the Civil

War? I don't know about that until I was 40-something. Suddenly one day

my father tell me I have some secret to tell you. I tell you all the

secrets he said and I was shocked. I realised my father was a spy against

China. He ran away from China to Hong Kong hiding in Hong Kong. In

the French embassy for like, I don't know how many years, until when I

was six-and-a-half. Then he hiding to Australia in the American Embassy

for another 40-something years. You had no idea about this until

recently? No. Then what happened actually, everybody call think I

called Chan, my original name is Fong. People ask did I have two

brothers. I had another two sisters. Then it was like, wait, wait, wait,

then my friend is a director, he spent three years to dockletment the

whole thing. So you had family in heroin who you met for the first

time? Yes. Last year I just go back. Then I sit down, I see the young

children come to call meer, grandfather:. That was a shock? Yes.

They call me Chinese three uncle and I was like, wow, how much family I

have, suddenly I have so many family. It's expanded? Yes. That's

the first time I know. The first time for years, first time going

back to China, I not all the people. -- met all the people. They knew

you, they must have been so excited? Yes, I never knew them, they knew

me. My father then told me when he could go back. There was the truce

and he could go back. Now, my friends, they make the movie about

my parents. Wow. OK. Last week, Dan had the honour of narrating an

international commemoration while world leaders marked the 100th

anniversary of the First World War. No-one will forget that

extraordinary night. Lots more coverage to come, including tonight

on BBC Two when Kate Adie tells the story of women who risked their

lives to keep the frontline supplied.

In 1914, 500,000 shells were produced by Britain's munition

factories. Three years later, that figure had risen to over 76 million.

The majority of the munitions workers were women.

Behind these concrete blast walls was a wooden hut with 14 women in it

filling shells with TNT, ramming it home with a wooden Mallett.

Originally, there'd be dozens of such huts as far as the eye could

see. The purpose of the walls was chillingly practical. If there was

an explosion, there'd be not a lot left. But the other huts wouldn't be

affected and productivity could be maintained.

The chemical compounds handled on a daily basis by the women were not

just explosive, they were also highly poisonous. TNT caused swollen

faces and horrible rashes. They turned the women's hands and

faces yellow, earning them the nickname of the Canary Girls.

We went completely yellow and your clothes came off you yellow. You

never got rid of it. Just stayed until you got more and more yellow

and people looked at you. When you got on to the bus or tube or

anything like that, they looked at you and wondered what was wrong with

you. We felt like Lib Demmers going home.

-- Lib -- lepers going home. This woman went to work in a

compound. Months later, she was dead from working with the FNT. A let

fresh her only sister says "it was a bitter blow for her poor mother".

She was her baby, she was a lovely girl, full of life. -- TNT.

Official records show 109 munition workers died from TNT poisoning

during the war. Gladys was born in 1917. Her mother

worked in a munitions factory in Oxfordshire.

Tell me what you know of what your mother did in the war? Well, she

carefully, and very carefully, poured the powder

carefully, and very carefully, She knew how dangerous it was?

carefully, and very carefully, yes, she knew that, she knew you'd

got to keep your wits about you the whole of the time. The powder that

was going into the shells, did she or the girls know that it could

possibly harm them, as well as explode? Oh, yes. They knew all

right, but they couldn't do nothing about it. While she was at the

factory, she became pregnant with you? Yes. Did she go on working? Oh,

yes, she kept on working. There was nothing unusual about that. Until

you were born? Yes, yes. Right up to it? Yes, right up to it. And when I

was born, I was yellow. And I really was yellow. Did she know why you

were born yellow? Because of the powder she swallowed as she was

filling them so you get a certain amount of dust and it wholes in the

air. So you were a Coo their Baby? I was a Coo their baby.

-- Canary baby. It was also a chance to do a valued job with a sense of

purpose. And Kate is here. The concept of the Canary baby is quite

extreme. How long were you yellow for. Well, she is not yellow today!

It was a short time. There were few cases like that. Obvious ly many

women were munition workers and doing other jobs. Across both

industry and commerce they took the places which the men had left in

their hundreds of thousands going to work. They made aircraft and went

into the shipyards, steel works, gas works, in the field doing the

agriculture. They became the first post women and policewomen. It was

an extraordinary number of firsts for them. And not entirely with the

approval of everybody. There was a sense this was difficult to deal

with. Women were doing things that they were not before the war thought

capable of doing. That was the real break through. But things must have

changed, because it has a knock op effect and changes -- knock on

effect and changes society. Yes, it gave them confidence. They had

independence and more money. Though less than half what a man got for

the same. No, for the same job? No one talked about equal pay ever.

That happens today, you're on twice what I am? They weren't allowed to

raise the subject. They were just happy to earn a bit more and they

were seen in shops, it was said they were frittering away their Monday

yea they got more -- money and got more independence and confidence

about what to do. Women, particularly working class women,

were invisible in society. We have got pictures of a football match.

Women playing football in front of huge crowds. And hundreds of teams.

Nearly all the industrial plants from shipyards to the munitions had

these marvellous football teams and they played in shorts. It was

considered horrifying. Unheard of. Women didn't really have knees! You

get these marvellous games and huge numbers came to see them. I don't

know whether it was for the skill or the shorts. But they raised money.

They were a forerunner of help for heroes. So many many were coming

home injured and the women didn't have enough money to work and look

after them. Police officers were something that women became. That

must have been a remarkable change and they were taught jujitsu, would

that be a good martial art? All kind of martial art is good for women.

Not if you're wearing a long skirt and a strange hat. This is the sort

of thing that was talked about. And these were progressive women and

many were in the suffrage movement. But no one gave them the power of

arrest and the Chief Constables look at them and said old spinsters on

patrol. But they wanted them to control women. They were setting the

standard for policewomen for many decades, that women police just

looked after women. They were also seen trying to enforce morality.

They used to go around it was said by the newspapers with long sticks

in the public parks in the evening, poking the bushes. Good for them we

say! Brilliant thank you. You can see Kate's documents The Women of

World War One tonight on BBC Two. Jackie's new film has got some real

history. It includes plenty of Jackie doing what he does best -

fighting bad guys! APPLAUSE Nice to see vow spending

time in a museum like that, what were you looking for in that

gallery? The bronze head. The bronze head we are missing about one

hundred years. Now, we have got seven back. We have got seven back,

we are still missing five. We don't know where it is. It is based on a

true story. They were taken in the Opium Wars? Yes They don't know who

took it. Last year after two years, I made the movie and last year a

family donate two heads to the Chinese Government. On the On the

back of seeing the film? Yes. How many are still missing? Five more.

We have 12. So 12 zodiac and five more missing. We don't know where it

is. Perhaps we will flush them out after the show. A hundred years ago

was nothing. Maybe they burn it. But today it is worth a lot of money.

Dan, jack Ji has been doing his research, he is a big Jackie Chan

fan and he was interested about your injuries. You have had many. I have

got Bones the skeleton. We have been trying to work out how many times

you have been injured. All the red tape represents major injuries.

First, the head and neck area. What is this cheek one do you remember

that? Too many! Super Cop and here is, I'm lucky, it is Crime Story, an

explosion just next to me. I turn around and boom! And a big prop

stick. You could have lost your sight. Was that your right eye? No,

here. Here is Drunker Master one. Did you break your neck? That was Mr

Nice Guy. That is a wrong... That one is wrong. Wrong side. The prop

department of ours. That is here! That is a skull. Yefest we have the

neck. -- We have the neck. What was this about? That was my... When I

was young, a stunt, tumbling, wire, kick. Somebody kicked me. I go to

the bathroom, all the blood come from the pee really. That soupds

horrendous. -- that soupds horsen Dos. -- that sounds horrendous.

Breaking crack. We get the picture. You do all these films, but how you

get insured? No insurance. Do you have a system in place. Even this

America. . Jackie Chan stunt team. I heard you had your own stuntman

association to help your films. Yes, so this is why I start, the stuntman

association, no insurance and my team, anybody get hurt, I see you

for life. You're the insurance company? Yes, they're the only

things we can do. I hope you had an accident-free time op Chinese Zodiac

which is out now. One man is looking forward to seeing Jackie film. He is

eight and from Rochdale and he has Kenny special skills. I have had my

fair of unsavery characters wanting to take a swing at me and thought

martial arts could come in handy. Or I could take this young chap with

me, Troy! Troy attained his black belt in karate aged seven and at

eight he is one of youngest black belts in the world. This is an

amazing achievement. How often do you train? Five times a week. Where

do you go from here? I want to like start doing like competitions so

represent like the country in the Commonwealth Games or the Olympics.

Does it help you get a girlfriend? Hmm... I got loads! Every apprentice

has a master. Well done, you have got Troy through his black belt?

Yes. In under four years and he is only eight. Is that different to an

adult black belt, is it easier? Sno, No they do the same as adults.

He started when he was four. What did you say when he said I want to

do karate. I was thrilled, because it will give him great discipline

and keep his fitness, where it needs to be. What about when he is

naughty, you can't say, Hoy get on the naughty step. You just duck!

Some people say you're training kids to fight. The thing you're taught is

to use it as a last resort and not teaching them to fight. He has the

ambition to be a grand a master. He could do that. How would you feel

about that? It would be fantastic. Teach me something. Start with

punches. Now about what something meatier. Do you like Jackie Chan

movies? Of course I do and one of the best is Drunken Master! And Troy

is throwing me in at the deep end by attempting to re-create one of

Jackie's most famous scene. The drunkard with internal strength. He

spent many years perfecting these moves. So this a tall order for an

eight-year-old, I even with a black belt. I'm just blagging it, because

after all, Jackie's style was based on humour. Come on boy, this is

serious! Go on Troy! Don't be gentle. What do

you think of Troy's moves. Is he good? Yes. So much so that Jackie

can't actually speak! He is concentrating so much. You have been

a Jackie Chan fan, do you have a question. What is your favourite

move? My favourite move is, a Chinese say, monks takes off the

clothes. Mung is protect like... OK. You one punch like this. Like this.

Like this. It is like this! It is a protection. I need to learn that.

When you're young learn how to attack bgs but when you're older

just protect and push away. I love that move. Troy is also in an acting

school like you were. Any advice to him? He is following a similar path

and he is already a black belt. What would your advice be if you wanted

to follow you in films. Concentrating every movement. Not

just only one martial artist, learn more like bicycle, roller skate.

Being action star you have to know everything. Motorcycle, driving,

jumping, of course at the end acting in comedy. And comedy as well? Yes.

Any good Troy. Are you going to go into films? Yes, you can do it.

Thank you to Jackie. Chinese Zodiac is out now. Tomorrow we are in the

club with the stars of the BBC's pregnancy drama. See you at 7. Thank

you Jackie. MUSIC: "All About You"
