''I thought, 'Wow, James Brown, Godfather of the Soul!' I didn't know what to call him. He comes in and says, 'Mr. Chan.' And I said, 'Please, call me Jackie.' He said, 'No, I'll call you Mr. Chan and you can call me Mr. Brown.' But every time I try to sing, 'Get up!' He sings, 'Get up -- yo!' I don't get it. Last time there was no 'Yo!' but now there's a 'Yo!' How can I record with him!? He just ad-libs!... I bought 10 CDs, not one is the same! He just do it whichever crazy way he do!'' -- The Tuxedo's Jackie chan, on sharing a scene -- and a song -- with James Brown, on Reel.com
