I could barely get myself out of bed."I had to walk down three steps and join Jet Li for one scene, and each time my feet hit the steps, pain shot through my back."Despite his fears, Chan claims on his website he is "recovering nicely".Chan is famous for suffering on-set injuries, and holds the Guinness World Record for 'Most Stunts By A Living Actor'.His worst injuries came while filming 'Armour of God' in 1987 when he fell from a tree and fractured his skull, resulting in a permanent hole in his head.'The Forbidden Kingdom' is about a US teen's fantasy journey to ancient China to rescue a mythological monkey king.It is scheduled for release next spring.(C) BANG Media International
