arts last martial
I've said more than once that this will be my last martial arts film.
bad chinese-actor good guy special
Hero" is really special because there is no formula. Usually the good guy has a problem. This film doesn't have a real bad guy in it.

When I first met her, ... she asked, 'Jet, can you teach me some martial and kung fu stuff. I want to fight in the movie.
given good kung people script star
People would come to me and say, 'Jet, your Kung Fu is pretty good, do you want to be an action star when you grow up?' At 17, I was given the script and I went to make the movie.

I have met Jackie Chan about 6 times up 'til now... and even though many people think we are natural enemies, I personally think he is a cool bloke and would honestly love to work with him in a film one time - that would a well brilliant movie!

When I was 8 years old, I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts, and put me in a school.

Even when I use a word in the wrong order in a sentence, I get mad. It's very stressful.

Watching movies in the U.S. is great fun because they get every joke, they smile, they laugh so much; it's a great feeling.

This film is a bit adventurous, ... You have to keep guessing what's going to happen next, and the ending is quite unexpected.
appreciate chinese confined culture defeat fearless generation hope kong matter narrow point rather received
No matter Fearless is warmly received or not, I hope young Chinese generation can appreciate it from the point of the world rather than being confined to the Chinese culture and movie. It is a narrow idea that Chinese Kong Fu must defeat all the foreigners.
arts chinese hope lee love martial talented talk tried
I think Ang Lee is a very, very talented director. He used martial arts to talk about love and girl, you know... But Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts film to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope the world will become.
art arts both chinese food good jackie jet kinds martial
Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesn't know how to do and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn't know how to do. You can both go to two Chinese restaurants, but both can have different kinds of food.
action asked bad good guy romantic sounds
He said, 'Here is the deal: Play the bad guy first, then I give you a good guy next,' ... I asked him what the movie was called, (and) he said 'Romeo Must Die.' (It) sounds like a romantic story, not an action movie.
