Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan And Jet Li Cant Nobody Ever Take They Place
Donnie yen a beast but jet is the goat imo
@21stcenturyenigma you got to be young
Donnie Yen has achieved more than all.
Don't forget stephen chow😂
@21stcenturyenigma he is better than chan but not bruce lee that dude created the path for them
Jet and Aaliyah had great chemistry in Romeo Must Die...such a tragic loss.
They really bounced off each other. It's such a sad loss indeed. Love you Aliyah ❤
Still one of my favorite action films til this day.
Yess one of my fav movies
Imagine if it was Bruce
It very suprised back then the black and asian couple...... But I love it...... I was 15back then😍
I started to choke up when Jet started talking about Aaliyah. Romeo Must Die does not get enough credit on how much of an impact it has made in representation in film.
Fuck even the representation part... There was about a year where this was THE action movie.. You where either watching the matrix or romeo must die.. It was a great movie in every sense of the word.. As a white man I never even noticed that there is not many white people in it.. It's just good on its own... and THAT'S how you do proper representation.. Don't add minorities just to do it if there are better people for the job.. But if they are naturally the best choice then nobody will care what color, gender, sexuality the characters are... The work itself needs to be good and stand on its own, don't use we have a diverse cast as a reason to why your movie is better than others when the movie really suck.. If it sucks it sucks regardless of an all white male cast or a diverse one
@Loveme Hateme First of all, NIMROD, he just answered your question on what representation in film it made, so try to pay attention. Second of all, there was an interview with Jet Li where he debunked all of the bullshyyit speculation race baiters and shit starters like you have as to why they didn't kiss. The production just felt that because Jet Li's character just witnessed the death of his brother, it would be inappropriate for him to kiss afterwards so they removed the kiss scene that they had already filmed. Troll Morons need to really fact check before they try to "speak facts" lol.
@Loveme Hateme Lesson: If you're going to TROLL, at least do it with some kind of intelligence and finesse. :D
@@michaelknight5295 True. A kiss is so unnecessary seeing how their relationship played out throughout the movie. They weren't trying to be a couple, they became friends in the pursuit of investigating what happened to their family members. I wish she was still here. 😪
Yo enough with the representation nonsense.
OGs will always remember how badass Jet Li was during his prime.
Once Upon A Time In China 1-3, and that western crossover OUATI America
Fong Sai Yuk 1 & 2
Tai Chi Master
Last Hero In China
Kung Fu Kult Master
New Legend Of Shaolin
Fist Of Legend
Those were my fav Jet movies when I was in hs back in the day, he and Donnie Yen are legends
@@thestendhalsyndrome not to mention The Forbidden Kingdom against another veteran Jackie Chan.
@@thestendhalsyndrome His fight in the Chess Court with Donnie Yen in Hero remains one of my absolute favorite things in any martial arts movie.
@@thestendhalsyndrome you forgetting unleashed
@@thestendhalsyndrome Have you seen Fearless?
I love how no one is forgetting Aaliyah & her legacy!
Ikr!
You couldn't help but love her
She’s unforgettable
@Neph ilim facts
They sacrificed her and still sample her so how was she forgotten?
You can tell that Jet Li still gets emotional when speaking about Aaliyah. 😢
Exactly he misses her so much 😔💔🥺 they was amazing together
They're both really close, marks now 20 years Romeo Must Die should be one of the best Jet Li movies made in the U.S.
Victor Laguna not really..he wasn’t that upset
Yes I saw it too when he spoke it about it. He still was kinda hurt by that too ..
Well in one of Aaliyah interview she said Jet Li was cute and they bond on movie Romeo must die!
"don't live in your mother father shadow. you need to be you"
great advice Jet Li sir
When he said that, it brought me to tears.
I used to watch Romeo Must Die 10 times a day when I was a kid. Helped me get over my parents divorce 😂
That’s deep.
His English got better I'm glad to see him healthy.
What was he sick with?
@@cococherrymango1225 i only knew that he was noticias well.
@@cococherrymango1225 I read somewhere that he has Grave's Disease( Hyperthyroidism).
He has a disease that Missy Elliot has also got which is Grave’s Disease
@@sjackson9850 aww thats unfortunate
I'm just glad he's healthy and got his hair back again. Hopefully we'll see him in more movies too. RIP Aaliyah!!!
Could be fake. But happy to see him healthy.
@@ThiHaGadgets his hair looks real to me
@@michaelharris2500 Sure. That's better for him. Haha.
Thi Ha I don’t think Jet Li would wear fake hair for an interview...
I swear the last time I saw a recent photo of jet his hair was graying. Whether or not he dyed it doesn't take away my respect for him. I've heard that he suffers from Parkinson's but he doesn't seem to be having any trouble speaking or exhibiting unnatural body movements
Jet Li always has a friendly vibe to him. He seems like such a nice, humble and wholesome guy, just like Chow Yun-fat.
4:30 He talks about baby girl Aaliyah ( for those of you who just want to hear what he says about her )
Thank you
yea, I just rewatched the movie the other day. Man, Aaliyah was a huge loss to all of us. She was so wonderful.
Seeing Jet Li and Jacky Chan grow old is something else...they made my childhood interesting #respect
Yeah same here my three favorites Asian actors but one of them gone 😥 Bruce Li 😥 thank you guys
I know right. I grow up watch Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Billy Blanks, Cynthia Rothrock, etc these were martial arts heroes. Like you it made my childhood interesting. I remember pratising martials arts whenever I saw their films. I have every single one of his films on DVD.
We not young no more either 😂😂
PaNtheR StrIKeRs please don’t remind me☹️
@@pantherXeroara that's the actual sad part🤣🤣...90s babies ain't babies no mo'
It's cool he talked about aaliyah cuz i never seen a interview talking about her. Love them together
I'm so glad he was open to talk about her. Thank you for watching :)
I heard it was very devastating for him. He spoke of her in print and magazines...but it was nice to hear him talk about her. He said she was like a baby sister.
He did talk about her b4
I’m sure he had a thing for her 💔
Patrick Holmes granted everyone did. Aaliyah was such a kind person.
I was named after Aaliyah , she was so beautiful
A wonderful gift from your parents
Me too :)
Yes I name my daughter after her too such a beautiful name
Me also named my daughter.. aftr seeing Aaliyah in Romeo Must Die..
me too 😌
I just finished watching Romeo Must Die for like the 50th time and the last scene in the end when Aaliyah asks Jet Li "Are you ok?" Then hugs him tight almost brought me to tears because it's the last scene and I know she is not with us anymore.
Oh man, the feels when hearing the discussion about Aaliyah. I think he misses her alot, just as I along with the rest of us do. One of the best duos in film ever. Sleep well, Aaliyah.
I love your comment. RESPECT.
of course, you think anyone else wouldn't know what was going behind those closed doors with that blech! son of a bitch and the fact her own parent say that they regretted and miss their daughter pisses me off, they sold her to him
@@maymay5600 what are you even talking about?
@@maymay5600 you supposed to miss yr child TF .how stupid will they be to not miss there daughter
They became really good friends after filming of Romeo Must Die wrapped up. He even said that it was hard for him to see all the old places in Vancouver where they filmed RMD because of his memories of her when he went back there to film the 2007 movie "War" with Jason Statham.
Oh my God! I'm so happy he talked about Aaliyah again after so many years
Marilyn King 💯
Almost 20 years ago
❤🙌🏾
Marilyn King Word! 👍🏼
😢
You could see when Jet Li talked about Aaliyah, there was so much he wanted to say in his mind, but the language barrier didn't allow him to express them. I'd love to hear what he'd say in Mandarin and have it translated.
But yea, Jet Li and Aaliyah
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker
These opened up a whole different world of cross-sectionality that is rich, diverse, funny at times, but loyal, brave, true. #notmywordsiknow
Yes! Perfect point. I noticed that too. He speaks fluently in English, but he would express himself more eloquently in his beautiful mother tongue.
I fully agree! ❤️🙏🏾
Jet Li is looking healthy again, I’m glad he doesn’t look sick anymore.
I didn't knew the guy was sick. Poor man.
@@duncan3998 hyperthyroidism and spinal problems
I know I got so happy when I saw this thumbnail he's looking veery good
@@duncan3998 he was in really bad shape.. I don't know how far he has recovered but he basicly couldn't move for a few years.. It was the reason he was only in 5 minutes if expendables 2..many thought that would be his last role
@Luis Cruz I'm 35 thanks for the kid :) I did learn in the øast few days thay picture him being sick was just a really bad photo and he's doing well now
When You Mentioned Aaliyah It Looked Like It Caught Him Off Guard. Took Him Back To A Place He Never Talked About Publicly
YEAH. Noticed the same, I think it may still be a little difficult for him to go down memory lane about her because I think they became close friends during filming.
@@7roninatthegate He said after her death that he would never forget about her. He was very sad over her dying so
young. He made another action movie with DMX after her death in Canada and that where Romeo Must Die was
filmed as well and that place made him remember her very much.
He once said in an interview that he got very depressed for a few months after she died because she was so nice and liked by everyone on set.
@Amna S Aaliyah was not after Jet she was just a very sweet girl who was nice to everyone. She was dating Damian Dash at the time. Jet was feeling bad because he liked her and respected her as an actress and he felt bad for her losing her life at such a young age, because her career was just heating up.
@Amna S All right then.
He looks like he retired from being an action star into a humble professor living his life simple, teaching philosophy
Update: thanks guys for this much likes! I like to thank the academy and my...
I believe he was really sick so he doesn’t have the action life energy anymore
@@Boibluu He's fine again. But in several interviews he said he wants to put more time into helping people, and thus will be very picky about his roles.
@Jomar Beran Exactly! He immediately reminds me of Michio Kaku.
@@danaketh Really? How did he get better?
@@williambrando2902 In 2016 he said that he has recovered from the illness that caused his heart to go nuts - www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/entertainment/jet-li-dismisses-reports-of-health-woes
This is for those who doubt that jet li's sincerity about AAliyah when he went to her funeral he was tore up. He was raw.He cared for her as the beautiful person that she was She touched everyone that way. And sometimes things hurt so bad that when we remember it we have to put a tight lid on it to keep from bursting out. I think that is what he is doing here. Still love them both.
Amen to Master Jet Li. I’m 32 and I’m mixed half African Cuba half Honduran. Jet Li you really built a bridge amongst the black community/Asian community. You and Master Jackie Chan are legendary
This man is the main hero of my childhood. I miss him so much.
When did he retire?
Chop Suey. He hasn’t been the main lead in a film since 2013’s Badges of Fury
He was sick initially glad he's better now.
An absolute legend
Good to see him looking better
You put Jet Li and Aaliyah
on the title. Fastest click I ever did. I’m tearing up
Yooo me rn 😂
I watched their movie for the first time last night 🤗
My thumb clicked so fast my head wasn't even done reading.
🤣 damn right 🤞🏾 I was like "what's this what's this" InMyPumpkinJackVoice
Me too I click so quickly
Of course he was a little emotional when Aaliyah is mentioned! He starred in her music video Try Again only cause he really considered her a friend. Jet Li is very particular about the projects he chooses and says NO a lot. So that really meant something. RIP QUEEN 👑
Jet and Aaliyah had one of the most iconic movie duos. RMD is one of my favorite movies of all time.
He looks so good......I'm glad hes healthy. He doesn't need to make anymore back breaking action movies, just need him to direct epic ones.
Your right. Jet li was first mainland china action star that become a filn producer and director. His first film produced by himself was fong sai yuk.
Yes for real, I love this man
I didn't kno he was il.... 😕🤔❣️
@@gato0082 oh he was very very ill. Check photos online. He was almost unrecognisable. So glad he's got his health back. Long may it stay.
@@donna8 👌👁️❣️🙏God Bless him, happy he's better 😇👌🙏
he is a real kung fu master, too good to let people forget his acting skill, he is actuallt such a good actor,but people always seems to ingore that
He looks super healthy now and younger than before after his diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. I love Jet Li, he will forever be my favorite actor.
At the end when he talks about aaliyah, everyone can see how he still miss her so much😭I think there was something special between them ❤️😢
How "she miss him"? You mean how he missed her. I believe. And yes they had such great chemistry
@@lessismore8533 ok,thanks for correction 👍😊
Jet confirmed in another interview that they became friends even after the movie wrapped. He said that Aaliyah gave him those black pants he wore in her Try Again video and he kept them after she died and he also said that he thinks of her everytime he wore those pants.
they could be couple in the moment
I remember when Aaliyah passed. I was 11 and I remember my dad coming into my room and telling me the sad news. The first time in my life I experienced when a celebrity passed away and only one of the rare times I actually felt hurt. She was apart of my childhood and I loved her music. So sad she passed so young RIP
Me too I was 11 years old
Same here! I was older than that, a young adult in college by then, but it was the first time a celebrity died who I actually liked and so it made me feel sad.
I couldn't get her song outta my head she was so amazing I don't wanna be 😪😕💔
My dad did the same. R.I.P. aaliyah and dad
@@Yukon_83 💔😩💔
Jet li is such a sweet soul. He does Great philanthropy work to help people, that is where his heart and mindset is that is very important to the world, Especially today. Which is why he hasn't been in much films in recent years. But as a fan it's great to have him back, I can't wait to see him in Mulan.
That's amazing to hear, even though audiences miss him. He's incredible in every way!
Wish he would do more lead roles in hollywood. He was amazing.
Pearlie eye Review yeah I loved him in the mummy 3
Hes been sick the past few yrs. Thats why he hasnt done much. He looked close to death last year. Got real skinny and lost all his hair.
True but he still done some lead roles in china like badges of fury and two martial arts films
He had the best fighting style was so criminally underrated. Hope he stars in more action films in the future
FR! Everyone fucked with jet li man.
@@TheDayd111returns como assim ?
Very broken english, yet everyone can understand what the man is saying and his feelings. Much love Jet Li. Be healthy for your family brother.
its not broken, just english with chinese accent.
It's not that broken, just mostly accent
So humble. His words on Aaliyah were perfect. His words on loyalty, devotion & truth.
I love Romeo Must Die. I became an instant fan of Jet Li, and was already a huge fan of Aaliyah. I had a 2001 calendar of her. I remember when she passed, it was the only time I had cried over a celebrity passing.
Same here, I cried like a baby, I was a big fan
Yea i remember she died right after movie romeo must die came out. It should be called Juliet must die lmao.
Same !!!
Me too. I developed a massive crush on him after watching the movie.
Jet Li is a perfect mix between sweet, strong, masculine, caring, tough and considerate. Love him and definitely miss Aaliyah. I can only imagine what else she would’ve contributed.
Jet Li is a Legend, a true badass, i wish him health and all the best.
Amen~
100% tearing up and crying about Aaliyah...
🥺🥺
FINALLY Jet Li is BACK. I know he was sick but he seems way better now
He really does
He was sick ? What happened to him ?
@@alexsaraceno6144 He had Hypothyroidism which is a deficient Thyroid. Your Thyroid gland is very important and he said that it was effecting him performing in his movies so he took a step back a bit. But he's BACK now.
Facts he look better
OMG Shout out to Aaliyah! "It's been so long and I'm lost without you...."
It’s so hard to see your heroes grow old. He was my favorite martial arts actor and now he looks so old
Cest la vie
I often wonder what Bruce Lee would've looked like older!
That's life you're gonna get old too. Just be happy he's healthy and he looks happy
Aaliyah 💯🙏🏾
Your dp ❤❤
@Johnston Steiner Aaliyah is not forgotten.
Johnston Steiner Shutup
Johnston Steiner Lies! Don’t hate because you’ll be forgotten when you die
Stuff that Jet says just melts my heart. This is something that we all need that love for one another.
Now more than ever
Jet and Aaliyah ~ one of my favorite on screen couples! ❤️ Loved their chemistry in Romeo Must Die!
He lowkey felt his heart hurt when thinking of Aaliyah.
Wow ... His feeling for Aliya are obvious, he got emotional it caught his breath but tried to keep it cool... Thanks Sade
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying. He is such a kind soul.
If he knew English fluently,he can express about Aliyah and everyone.
Jet Li is really a true Gentleman
His feeling for the African American community and our support for The Chinese just showed there. It’s always been an unspoken love it’s beautiful to see it for once... now.. back to being real ninjas... sssshhhh
I love his 90s action movies ! The Legend !
a true legend ... his 80s movie is also good

Jet or Jaa?
BRIANBA100 jet li
The mask 1 was a classic 🔥
i love how he's so genuine in everything he does, you can see the emotion when he talks about aaliyah, she was so special to him and is so sad that she didn't had enough time, always in our hearts 💓
I've never heard Jet Li talk at all about Aaliyah and Romeo Must Die so I am glad you managed to throw that question in there at the end - you're a real one!
I love how he said kind words about Aliyah. How he said she was charming and so beautiful. He's such a kind soul.
RIP Aaliyah. I was always entranced by her music and acting. I remember when Queen of the Damned came out and feeling sad that the world would never get to see her again in more film roles 😔
Fr
I’ve watched Romeo Must Die countless times, I never knew Aaliyah had passed. Still one of my favorite movies of all time.
Romeo Must Die is my # 1 favorite Jet Li movie. I always knew it was a good movie but I didn’t know it was also impactful, I’m glad the interviewer brought that up. I’m glad Jet is still acknowledging “Romeo Must Die”. PS, RIP Aaliyah
I loved the chemistry between Jet Li and Aaliyah in Romeo must die. Still one of my favourite movies❤️
So good to see him healthy again. Legend.
he always been healthy dummy!
BRIANBA100 fuck you
BRIANBA100 I think thaistomp is referring to a time where he wasn’t I think . I forgot the entire situation with Jet li but their was a picture taken during that time and he looked extremely old because of whatever was happening to him at that time was effecting him some type of condition .
BRIANBA100 He has hypothyroidism. Not exactly a healthy condition. Lifetime medication, strict diet, and no strenuous exercise.
Jet Li was diagnosed with HYPERTHYROIDISM (an overactive thyroid) in 2010, which explains his extreme weightloss in the past.
HYPOTHYROIDISM (underactive thyroid) is the opposite of HYPERTHYROIDISM, which tends to make you gain tons of weight.
The most humble kindest loving martial artist out there... Jet li is a true legend
He looks better now. Really glad to see him back.
He was also in Cradle 2 the grave with DMX
That was also good movie one of my favorite Jet Li movies
Yeah, I figured if Aaliyah was alive she would’ve been in that movie too
DMX was also in Romeo Must Die
Great Movie. Loved that like swiping noise they added in fight scenes. Idk why but I loved it and would imitate it as a kid.
that used to be one of my favourite movies as a kid.
The host is so pretty....
ADK 77 aww thank you
@@professorx7398 lil creepy
VERY!!!
@@ree3197 Fuck off
@@I-speak-U-shut-it You FUCK OFF! It's creepy!
Jet Li is definitely one of my favorite actors growing up. You could tell he’s very humble in real life.
Great interview! I really miss him doing movies as the lead actor. 1986-2008 was the prime period for Jet Li. Since then, his passion transitioned to helping people in real-life investing in charity work. I hope he can make a few more movies as a lead actor before he retires for good
I was exposed to Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan first, but when I saw Jet Li for the first time in Romeo must die as a kid with my favorite singer Aaliyah, I was amazed at his fighting style, especially in Cradle to the Grave. He was so nonchalant, didn't overreact, anytime somebody tried to fight him, most of them were no match for him, he blocked every one of their punches and kicks. So glad to see him be a part of this movie, loved Mulan as a kid as well. Besides Pochahontas, who risked her life to speak out for her people, Mulan was the only female princess who risked her life by going to war in her dad's place and showed that women don't have to be limited to so called "stay in their place".
Ariana George His first movie in the US was Lethal Weapon 4. That’s how I learned about him. He shocked me! Amazing skills! You should check it out.
Correction Mulan wasn't a princess. If I remember right (not Disney version), Mulan spent 10 years in the military and became one of the most feared generals at the time.
@@ycthao okay, it's not nothing to get worked up about. For Disney, she is considered a princess who represented feminism.
@@XBrandonLeeX765 yea I know about it, I was just saying as a kid I saw him in other movies first before I saw Lethal weapon 4
Ariana George I re read what I wrote. I wasn’t trying to correct you. I apologize for the confusion. I think a long as we got exposed to his art. That’s what counts! I wasn’t a fan of Romeo Must Die, I do appreciate it more now. Especially, with all the nonsense releases coming out these days. I’m glad I got to see Black Mask, Fist of Legend, & many more.
I missed jet li, hurts to see him get old but that's life
Jet Li is 55 years old.
Emilio Maurice maybe you didn’t grow up watching Jet Li but I certainly did so I literally watched him aged over time from his 20’s to his 50’s. And it sucks seeing your childhood idols and hero’s getting older and I believe that’s what the original commenter meant.
Hurts to see me getting old with him lol
Just like seeing Jacky Chan get old. Me and my friends grew up on Chinese king fu cinema, Jet Li is a fucking legend.
he has a rare illness that makes him age rapidly.
Appreciate this man while he’s still here 🙌🏼 str8 up legend
How the hell can anyone dislike this video like come on man. Jet Li Aaliyah 2 people who had absolutely great chemistry together. I remember watching the making of Romeo Must Die and when Aaliyah found out she was gonna be working with Jet omg she was so so soooooo happy RIP Aaliyah :( very good interview thank you
Jet Li has four daughters.
Mulan, especially this version means a lot more to him than you think.
Are you his wife or something?
Emile ... you don’t have to be related or know a celebrity, intimately, to know how much a project means to them.
It is a film about a heroine. He has 4 daughters. He hopes to inspire his daughters with this film. Any male celebrity who has daughters and work on films like this, are happy to present them to their family.
@@emile5921 you're aware your comment comes across as mad negative and unnecessary, you do see it right?
Get some business

@@emile5921 sure...... but you dont debate its unnecessary right?
Have a pleasant day, I'm not about to go back and forth with people who talk for the sake of talking when others are speaking constructively
I hate when people talk shit then attempt to play like they dont, sarcasm or not, your comment dont fit and yes is negative!
Thank you for asking about about his impact in the Black community and for tying in Aaliyah’s memory. We need that right now.
I enjoy the way the interviewer really takes care with how she asks questions and how she affirms what the guest is saying.
Yes, We love you too Jet! My Black ass been idolizing him for almost 30 years now. R.I.P. Aaliyah
He still remembers and still sweet. Still sad after all these years. I miss her.😔😥

I miss JetLi movies, excited to see this movie!
Now I want to watch the “Try Again” music video . RIP Babygurl
Yesss I was thinking about that scene with her dancing with him
I like how he pointed out the aspects of being loyal and devoted to family, being brave in life and for your future as well as being true to oneself.
Yah, but the Asains and Japenese were always serious about family

There will never be another Aaliyah , she was so angelic and had true class and respect . I was a true fan of Aaliyah and will miss her . Her legacy will live on no matter what comes out like that r Kelly thing . She is forever the princess of r and b

Lol true😂😂😂
True
When I found out that Jet Li would be in this movie, I just thought I'll definitely watch this
sly pasetes he’s not going to be doing any fight choreography though sadly.
It doesn't matter as long as he is in the movie people will like it
Sad really his condition hes a top actor missed his films good to see him back out there
This was such a beautiful vine interview. Jet li loved Aaliyah and so did chinese people. Everyone! Thank you for telling him that he is loved too! ❤️
Great interview! I'm glad I took the time to watch. Really good interview questions and I'm glad he was willing to speak about Aaliyah.
Damn, he really is a legend. I'm glad to see he's fully recovered.
Sade, thanks for this interview, I liked your questions. And also, thanks for bringing up the beautiful Aaliyah, she was so charismatic and had a great voice. I had a fond memory of Romeo Must Die, because it was the first time I saw Jet Li on the big screen. Everyone else in the theater was black (probably to see the angelic Aaliyah), and I couldn't believe the warm (and very vocal) reception they gave to an Asian action star.
As for Jet Li, I think he deserves a lot of respect as a human being. In terms of contribution to action cinema, there are many great choreographers, directors, and film stars in the spotlight -- actually, Jet Li is just one of many. Objectively speaking, the genre has a lot of huge contributors. However, in terms of personal character, Jet Li really stands out for his humility, his faithfulness to his family, his charity work, and his overall character.
Li went through some hard times growing up and had a very bitter and rough start in his early film career. But like he describes about Mulan, Jet Li stayed true to himself, even after he became a huge star. He turned down the lead role of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon because he promised to be there for his wife -- choosing his family over a huge career role. He is well-known to be a hard worker, and although he is not Mahershala Ali or Al Pacino or Tony Leung when it comes to sheer acting talent, he worked tireless on his craft and did a reasonably good job in both dramatic and comedic roles. He founded the charity organization One Foundation (for disaster relief) in 2007, when no rich people in China took charity seriously. When speaking of his physical skills, he is always very candid that his training is purely for the camera, and that he would lose in any fight against a professional fighter (ie, he does not try to propagate the myth of Chinese kung-fu). And unlike many of his action movie peers, there are no "Me Too" type stories circulating around about Jet Li, or him raining down unreasonable abuse upon other people just because he can.
One of my favorite Jet Li films of all time is Ocean Heaven, which has no action sequences. This is a story about a terminally ill father (Jet Li's character) trying to prepare his 21-year old autistic son for life on his own. Li did the role for free, and in addition turning in a very touching dramatic performance, his name helped boost the careers of first-time director Xue Xiaolu (an accomplished scriptwriter who went on to direct the critically acclaimed "Finding Mr. Right"; she also wrote the script for Ocean Heaven based partially on her experiences as a volunteer for autistic children) and actor Wen Zhang. To me, this film demonstrates some of the best things about Li's real-life personality -- his generosity, his sincerity, his hard work and willingness to try something outside of his usual range by doing a pure drama film, and his genuine desire to contribute to the world.
jet lis acting talent is very underrated
You're welcome. So glad you enjoyed it :)
That is all awesome, but you shouldn't have been so surprised that the African American community embraced Jet Lit. The black community had long had a love for martial arts and Bruce Lee. Also, of course, Rush Hour was a big hit before Jet Li even appeared in Lethal Weapon 4.
@@biglliam lethal weapon 4 came out before rush hour.
@@mortezarostami7587 Oh yeah, you're right. It did. Rush Hour came out before Romeo Must Die where Jet Li gets to play the hero though, and Rush Hour was such a big hit, it seems Romeo Must Die copied it's Kung Fu meets Hip Hop formula.
OMG!! I miss him so much. Thank you post.
Watching him healthy and doing good warms my heart. I actually cried 10 seconds In looking at him doing fine 😭❤ I hope he is safe rn with the pandemic.
