Was Jackie Chan In Big Trouble In Little China?
I was watching Big Trouble In Little China (1986) again today and during the fight scene in the beginning of the movie. I noticed this guy who [to me] looks exactly like Jackie Chan. I looked through the list of cast and crew on IMDB, but didn't see him listed anywhere. I also searched Google and didn't come up with anything conclusive. I did, however, find a question on Yahoo Answers asking the same thing, and a commentor confirms it is Jackie Chan, and uses the same snapshot I've posted below, but he offers nothing but his word that it is in-fact Jackie Chan.
- Is this indeed Jackie Chan?
- If not, who is it?
- If it is, why wasn't he listed in the credits?
Best Answer
No, Jackie Chan was not in this film.
This character in your photo is indeed Chang Sing (or at least one of them) but Jackie Chan is not credited as any of them.
The credit list for this role (from IMDb) is as follows:
James Lew - Chang Sing #1
Jim Lau -Chang Sing #2
Kenny Endoso - Chang Sing #3 (as Ken Endoso)
Stuart Quan - Chang Sing #4
Gary Toy - Chang Sing #5
George Cheung - Chang Sing #6
Jimmy Jue - Wounded Chang Sing

Answer 2
I got it! I was wondering this myself after some site I saw a week ago tried to pass this off as factual trivia. I maybe 2 years too late for this answer but I'm convinced its Jim Lau who is listed as Chang Sing #2.
Here are some other photos of him - comparing them with the one above, I think its definitely his nose:
