With about 100 action films under his belt, kung-fu king Jackie Chan says he is not proud of all his movies and calls some of his early films "a mistake."

"It was a mistake to make 'Drunken Fist'," Chan said on Thursday about his 1978 blockbuster. "The film was all about getting drunk to fight. It misled the audience."

Chan added that he "tried to correct my mistake in the 1994 sequel which tells the audience to be tolerant."

The Hong Kong star was in Beijing on Thursday to promote an online game spin-off of his new film "Big Soldiers".

"Most of the video games available today are about fighting and killing," Chan said. "This is not good for children. I hope by playing our game, youngsters will get a message of peace."

In the role-playing game, players can follow the development of the story in "Big Soldiers" about an old soldier who kidnaps a young general and takes him on a long journey to collect a reward.
