I don't think most people truly appreciate how good his direction is, even if they enjoy watching him on screen. This oversight extends to Hollywood producers, who insist that his classic movies require "adaptation" before release in America. If Jackie Chan were truly respected, "Legend of the Drunken Master" would never have happened.

Hollywood is about money, its a mashine. Redoing movies has nothing to do with respect.
Movies of pretty much ever forign directors have been remade or rebooted.
So if you want to say that Hollywood has respect of nothing, then fine, bit it does not reflect on him at all.
