Jackie Chan is one of the most family friendly international stars on the globe and his films always are about gravity defying stunts laden with clean humour. However he is in the news for the wrong reasons as the head of Iran's Kish IRIB television was fired for airing a sex scene of Jackie Chan in the 2009 movie 'Shinjiku Incident'. Questions are now being raised how the scene escaped the strict censorship of that country.

International media reports that in the film Jackie Chan is seen sleeping with a prostitute and the shots are by no means vulgar like those present in Hollywood movies. Iranian law is so strict that their movies do not allow men and women touching each other or even speaking tenderly to each other. Women should be clothed in such a way that their necks should not be visible and also jokes should not be shared between a man and a woman.
