Jackie Chan (Chinese: 成龍; born 7 April 1954), Chan Kong-sang, is a Hong Kong actor, action choreographer, filmmaker, comedian, producer, martial artist, screenwriter, entrepreneur, singer and stunt performer. In his movies, he is known for his acrobatic fighting style, comic timing, use of improvised weapons, and innovative stunts. Jackie Chan has been acting since the 1970s and has appeared in over 100 films. Chan has received stars on the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As a cultural icon, Chan has been referenced in various pop songs, cartoons, and video games. Chan is also a Cantopop and Mandopop star, having released a number of albums and sung many of the theme songs for the films in which he has starred. Chan was born on April 7, 1954, in Victoria Peak, in the former Crown colony of Hong Kong, as Chan Kong-sang (meaning "born in Hong Kong") to Charles and Lee-Lee Chan, refugees from the Chinese Civil War. He was nicknamed Paopao (Chinese: 炮炮, literally meaning "Cannonball") because he was such a big baby, weighing 12 pounds, or about 5.4 kgs. Since his parents worked for the French Consul to Hong Kong, Chan spent his formative years within the grounds of the consul's residence in the Victoria Peak district. Chan attended the Nah-Hwa Primary School on Hong Kong Island, where he failed his first year, after which his parents withdrew him from the school. In 1960, his father immigrated to Canberra, Australia, to work as the head cook for the American embassy, and Chan was sent to the China Drama Academy, a Peking Opera School run by Master Yu Jim-yuen. Chan trained rigorously for the next decade, excelling in martial arts and acrobatics. He eventually became part of the Seven Little Fortunes, a performance group made up of the school's best students, gaining the stage name Yuen Lo in homage to his master. Chan became close friends with fellow group members Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, the three of them later to be known as the Three Brothers or Three Dragons. At the age of 17, he worked as a stuntman in the Bruce Lee films Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon under the stage name Chan Yuen Lung. He received his first starring role later that year, in Little Tiger of Canton, which had a limited release in Hong Kong in 1973.

Buddy and Mike are back! And they are here with all the Sirène frigate crew. Romain Dos Maderas told the story of Spanish Galleon San José, known as The Holy Grail of Shipwrecks. Budy, Mike and the crew wants to find the legendary Galleon. San José was a 64-gun galleon of the Spanish Navy, launched in 1698, and sank in battle off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia, in 1708, while laden with gold, silver and emeralds worth an estimated $17-22 billion. The Sirène sailed on the waves of the wide Pacific, the crew experienced various adventures along the way, and finally they managed to reach the Caribbean. They dock in the port of Buena Vista in Colombia, where they expand the fleet with a second ship called Santa Anna. Buddy and Mike saved life of a sailor and perhaps a pirate, Gerald Montana, who told them he owed them the same, and he and his frigate Santa Anna were at their disposal forever. Together, the two ships sail to Panama City and then pass through Miraflores and the Caribbean Sea. During a search around Cratagena, the crew learns that Jose Fernandez de Santillan, Captain of San José, was headed for Havana, the ship was bombed, but did not sink in Cartagena. But he could no longer reach Cuba, so he hid the ship and the treasure somewhere near Port Royale and wanted to return for it, but that did not happen because he was killed in Jamaica a moment later by a British admiral. So the ship is hidden somewhere at sea in a cave near Port Royale. They finded the Galleon.
