Jackie Chan films on the sails of the Opera House
Title:
Jackie Chan films on the sails of the Opera House
NFSA ID

Year
2016
In one of the more interesting uses of the Sydney Opera House, martial arts film star Jackie Chan films a battle sequence atop the sails of the building.
The scene was for his 2017 film Bleeding Steel (Leo Zhang, China).
This is an excellent example of the sort of brief, quirky stories that are included towards the end of a news bulletin, designed to leave viewers with a smile on their faces.
The fact that the story was included in a Brisbane news bulletin shows the national interest in the Sydney UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is an excerpt from Seven News in Brisbane, broadcast on 10 August 2016.
