The set of the Chinese action movie, Vanguard, was rocked by a terrible turn of events when its protagonist, legendary actor Jackie Chan, nearly drowned while filming an action scene.
The videotaped incident began with Chan, 66, riding a jet ski with his co-star Miya Muqi.
Things took an unexpected turn when they hit a small rocky embankment, flipped the jet ski and sent them into the water.
Muqi resurfaced immediately. But for about 45 seconds, Chan was nowhere to be found.
The crew rushed to his side and frantically searched for Chan. Moments later, he was pulled out of the water, alive and unharmed.
“I don’t remember what happened either, but it was as if there was a divine power helping me,” he said in a clip that recalls the incident (translation of 8 days).
“I pushed the jet ski out of the way and the current pushed me out of the water.”
After getting out of the water, Chan was smiling and talking animatedly about what had happened.
He also remembered seeing Vanguard director Stanley Tong crying.
Chan proceeded to comfort him and the other film crew who were shocked by the incident.
