Recently, while appearing on a Chinese television show called The Negotiator, Chan was shown a video of his original stunt team. The men spoke about how much it meant to them to be on the JC Stunt Team. They remembered how generous Brother Jackie (their name for him) was, how he would even share his pay with them. They also spoke about how being on the team helped their careers and how fond their memories of Chan are.
Chan was obviously moved by the video. After it played he began to speak about how long it had been since he had seen the original members of the team, as the stunt team's current roster stood behind him. Unseen by Chan, those same original members snuck behind him and lined up, listening to his speak about them while the current team members moved out of the way. During his speech, Chan turned back to indicate the current group, and didn't appear to realize what had happened, at least the first time. Then he looked again, and saw the men he called his ”brothers" behind him.
That's when the tears started flowing. Chan stopped mid-speech to tearfully hug all the men, and to ask them to meet with him again every year, recognizing that after 40 years not everyone could be there with them and that the tine they had to be with each other was limited.
