How much is Jackie Chan in this?

I notice the poster says "Special Appearance by Jackie Chan"

I assume that might mean one scene and nothing more.

not an important character.
He did not even shave his head for playing a role of a monk.

he is not a serious actor.

Maybe he didn't have a significant-enough roll to shave his head. How many scenes was he in?? Was he even an actual monk in the movie?

Caught the movie in the theater tonight.

He plays a monk and a has a very memorable supporting role.

He's in the movie early on four about 7 minutes total, and then again for roughly the same amount of time at the end for a pretty cool fight sequence.

I was under the impression that we wasn't even sure he wanted to stay at the temple and be a monk and was continuously conflicted on the matter, so having a head not shaved made sense for the character.

I must be the only person alive that watched this movie because I was interested in the plot and not for Jackie Chan. I didn't even know he was in it until he popped up on screen. I like the movie for itself, not for 10 minutes of Chan screen time. And a really hokey action sequence, if I may say.

Same here. I did not even know he was in this movie, I watched it for the plot with Nicholas Tse and Andy Lau being a great bonus. I agree that Chan's fighting scene was silly and not keeping up with the very serious and dark tone of the movie.
