They thought it was too choppy, not clear. Not as good as my older films. So, I thought it would be the right time for me to do some hardcore fighting with a strong character. Hide

He doesn't know how to deal with the girl. He gives the promise to the girl. Later on the character develops, because he has to do something to keep his word. Even if that something is against his job, his country. But he still needs to keep his word. It's a unique story. I like it very much. Hide

Usually, for action movies, the actress is a beautiful flower. They put the flower there, and then they fight. When they need the flower to come in, they bring her in. But this film, Bridget is the key. Hide

But on this film, we talked about a totally different angle to see my character. Hide

I think I have proved my ability in this field and it won't make sense for me to continue for another five or 10 years. Huo yuanjia (2006) is a conclusion to my life as a martial arts star. Hide
