Action movie star Jackie Chan usually deals body blows to movie villains, but now he has punched a hole in his son's pop career with a stunning attack on Jaycee Chan's debut album, reports said.

Jackie, in Beijing for the premier of Hong Kong cop drama "New Police Story", admitted he didn't like "Running While Singing", the first single lifted from young Chan's self-titled and self-penned debut album.

"I don't like the song. Can you guys tell him that?" newspaper Apple Daily quoted the star telling reporters.

"After hearing the song, I thought I should just leave him to mind his own business," Jackie said.

Jaycee, 21, who bears a striking resemblance to his father and inherited his trademark big nose, was said to have enjoyed a smooth ride into showbiz thanks to the patronage of the world's most famous Chinese superstar.

Nonetheless, the Mandarin-language album of autobiographical folk and RnB tracks is getting short shrift from Jackie.

"He hasn't even given me the album. We don't have time to see each other," a terse Jackie added.

Jaycee was born in 1983, just two days after Jackie married retired Taiwan actress Joan Lin.

He spent most of his young life in Los Angeles with his mother after his parents split and Jackie established himself as a major action star.
