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.
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.
art wife guy
Usually action films have a formula: good guy gets in trouble, his wife dies, friends have problems, so he goes to the mountain, learns martial arts, comes back, and kills the bad guy.
thinking guy trying
And lot of Asian audiences and reporters don't like me to act as a bad guy. But I think I want to become an actor, I want to try different way.
arts last martial
I've said more than once that this will be my last martial arts film.

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!
knew learning martial talented
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.
order word wrong
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.

Zhang Yimou is one of the best directors on mainland China.
bit ending guessing happen quite
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.
