The big boss says get Chan on the case
Brave — nay, foolish — is the acrobat who tries to outflip him.
And then he turns, he stares and he delivers the verbal kick in the stomach.
"Discretion is my middle name, sir," he says with a glint in his eye.
Jackie Chan might be discreet by name, certainly not by nature.
It's why the kung-fu king is the proud new ambassador for crime prevention in Cabramatta.
And get ready to flip out because the international superstar promised to visit next time he is in the country.
Cabramatta police officers approached Mr Chan — no doubt cautiously given his propensity to kick — to ask if he would like to accept the off-screen role.
Multicultural community-liaison officer Imanuel Choyce went to Hong Kong to chat with the star of the recent hit remake of The Karate Kid.
Mr Chan didn't toss and turn over his decision and was quick to accept the new mission.
He was presented with an appreciation certificate signed by local area-commander Superintendent Ray King.
Superintendent King said he hoped this appointment would strengthen the relationships between the local police and the community.
"Many residents are hesitant and fearful of talking to police about crime," he said.
"I think Jackie Chan is the perfect person to have as an ambassador. He's a good role model for people to look up to. We're always looking for new ways to build up relationships with the community."
As the face of crime prevention Mr Chan will be taking up a new kind of fight.
He will encourage Cabramatta residents to report crime and promote a safe and harmonious community.
Superintendent King said that the command would maintain regular correspondence.
Fairfield might have missed out on a visit from Oprah but Mr Chan promised Cabramatta will be on his list when he next heads down under.
Forget The Karate Kid. Now he's the Cabramatta kid.
