Thanks for the update! Jackie Chan was sponsored by Mitsubishi back in the day, so the nickname is quite apt. Mitsubishi also gave him a customized Starion with a Gold plated engine too! Pretty wild!

I actually didn't know this, I mostly knew the Jackie Chan info from having actually watched Cannonball Run. I always felt Jackie and his sidekick's inclusion in the movie kind of weird, but I think that makes much more sense given that context.

He also had a racing/action movie called Thunderbolt, of course starring Mitsubishi cars. It even predates Fast and Furious.

That was because 1981 Cannonball was co-produced by Hong Kong tycoon Raymond Chow and his Golden Harvest studio
