If you think exciting things like a man climbing a 68-storey building with suction cups only happens in America, you’re wrong. Exciting things happen in Australia too! In fact in terms of building-related hijinks, we truly have the monopoly because our tale involves Jackie Chan.

Yesterday afternoon, some eagle-eye cameramen spotted Jackie Chan filming scenes from his new movie Bleeding Steel, a film that sounds vague and exciting, on top of the Sydney Opera House. It turns out that when you see a fight scene out of context and in real life, it looks very funny and silly and it kind of seems like Jackie and his mate are playing some sort of clapping game.

Would you like to see it from another angle? Yes, of course you would.

There’s a moment there, as Jackie is gazing over the crystal waters of the harbour, that you can almost hear him say: “I’M THE KING OF THE WORLD!” raising his hands in triumph. Jackie is victorious, he has conquered human laws of gravity and physical resistance, he has reached a higher mental and physical plane that lesser beings could never dream of. He is the King of Sydney now.
