Jackie Chan’s Next Act
Jackie Chan
Legendary martial arts actor Jackie Chan is 63 years old now.
While that’s not necessarily old, it’s old for an action movie star.
Lucky for us, Chan seems to have a plan for his next act.

Leonard Cohen’s Tribute Show In Montreal Was Heavy

Last Monday the Risky Fuel team made a pilgrimage to Montreal to pay our respects to the late, great musical poet, Leonard Cohen.
Titled, Tower of Song: A Memorial Tribute to Leonard Cohen, the Bell Centre event organized by Leonard’s son Adam Cohen featured big names like Elvis Costello, Sting, Courtney Love and Lana Del Rey to cover Lenny’s classic songs.
Those marquee names were fine, but it was the “singer songwriters” who really shone. Damien Rice and Patrick Watson were beautifully heavy and Adam, who seems to have fully embraced the family legacy, was uncanny (and unsettling) in his renditions of his father’s songs.
Sarah wrote about all this in a live review for Consequence of Sound.

The Prisoner And Kosho, The Mostly Fictional Martial Art
Kosho demonstration
In Sarah’s beloved 50 year old spy television show The Prisoner it features a mostly-made up martial art known as Kosho.
“Mostly” because there are a few real-world examples of people trying to bring to life this single-boxing-glove-wearing, grapple-on-trampolines conceptual martial art.
Sarah actually managed to track down someone who has tried to compete in “real” kosho and asked him what it was like in her first piece for Jet Li’s very good website.
