I miss Jet Li so much. Him and Jackie Chan are legends.
He's not dead . . .
@@chefdean7257 but he ain’t acting anymore
@@chefdean7257 Not dead but Jet li did step away due to sickness and wanting to raise his kids.
FACTS
He's aged much due to sickness, sigh.
They don't make em like Jet Li anymore. A living legend
Jet Lee was passing away right?
He is alive@@user-wi8hr7hs1n

This guy gave me chills all the time. He made my childhood days memorable
It is time to repent!
It is time to BORN AGAIN!
It is time to reject all sins!
it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul.
This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same?
Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans.
GOD - the creator exist and god of this world exist also.
One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
To the lgbtq++++:
the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.
Same here brother
once upon a time in China?
He smiles a lot for someone who hardly smiles in his movies…Jet Li a living legend and those punches were pretty fast too
❤
He has the cutest happiest smile!
He smiles a loooot in his "non american" movies 😉
This guy! Made our childhood sweet. Everyone mentioned his name whenever fighting was mentioned. Legend.
Yep, one of my childhood heroes.😊
Yeah man so trueeee
Very true I use to admire this guy
This man is legend here on our island of Barbados 🤸
Got got that right😅
Im immensely grateful to grow up in the era where great martial artist/actors like Jet Li and Jackie Chan were putting out great films.
Jackie Chan is a comedian fighter , jet Li reminds me of the Legend Bruce Lee more than Jackie Chan
RIP jet li, i loved him!
@@bobbymaldini7653 he's not die lmao
@@nightraven6303 I mean in his movies Jet Li is always serious character in his movies that's my point, Fearless is one of my favorite movies of all time
@@nightraven6303 yes i watched all his movies or most of them
Im pretty sure we all miss Jet Li! He is a true legend of our time. Thank you Mr. Li!
Jet Li has is even more charismatic off-screen than he is onscreen! Fantastic interview!👍
I am 35.. I wasn't born in the era of Brucelee but grew up watching Jet Li and he is the greatest martial artist, people of our generation has ever witnessed.
Greatest movie martial artist maybe. The greatest martial artists earn their respect in real competition, not against stunt doubles.
@@Travvv94 which Jet Li also did, he was a champion before he was in film
@@Ethan-wr2osJet Li was a champion in demonstration tournaments, but not in fighting. In real life he also did not fight against anyone, recognized by himself
@@Daniel_R_ nevertheless he still proved himself in real competition and against adults at that. He does spar with people (he's mentioned sparring partners) but no his competitions were not sparring. But that doesn't take away from the purity of his martial arts and just the vast amount of weapon knowledge he has, I've seen that guy fight with more weapons than anyone. He still came from a background of purely martial arts and the most intense training
i am 32 and i was growing up with jet lee and jackie :D strange.
Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Donny Yen, all my fave martial artists.. They're genuine and fun to watch.. Jet Li is now retired and work on his health and spiritual well-being..
Also...they're all communist Chinese spies. Their names are on lists of financial scams to benefit china/Xi.
Sadly, so does Michael Yeoh.
And what happened to Bruce Lee
Do you mean actors
@@RacerX1971 Bruce Lee died young. Jackie Chan said he always admired Bruce Lee as his senior
@@zeeone4492 they're actors in the movie but they're called martial artist in real life because they really master of martial art.. Aka they're the real Master in Kung-fu/wushu/taichi,so not just pretend to be one
4:00 "Smile, act drunk and play badminton" LOL 😂
Miss him so much, Jet Li's a real legend and childhood hero. One of my favorite movies growing up was "THE ONE"
Jet Li is describing the Drunk style, while Conan is dodging bullets from the Matrix 😂
🤣exactly
Ong bro
Or dancing a Techno Rave party dance
😂😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂
Don't let Jet Li's smile fool you. He can kill you in a thousand different ways with his bare hands.
prove it!
In a way, he kills you with his smile
@@hamidomrani3960 Yeah because after a smile like that how could you want to fight him lol
Haha true👍
Killer's smile 😂😂😂
A true legend. Very good actor and martial artists. Always captivating to watch his movies. Long live Jet Lee.🙏💯
Hes alive and well not dead
@@anthonynoll2972 I know, that's why I said "long live".
czcams.com/users/shortscyagnrlgv1Q?si=_T8CI7sRD7ndJ5_H
It's Jet Li😂
You spelled wrongly his last name. His last name is Li not Lee. Dumbnut
one of the greatest martial arts actors of all time..him and jackie chan made our childhoods super awesome
Fist of Legend was an incredible Jet Li movie
that and The Enforcer are my favorite Jet Li movies
Agreed. Re-watched it several times. Still in awe. Too bad, we might never see that kind of jet li ever again.

Indeed it is!
Smile, act drunk, and play badminton. I love it!
Jet you rule! Conan the best late show host.
lol I play badminton. I cant believe Jet said this. Good advice :)
Jay Leno would disagree. 😆
Hello 👋🏻 how are you doing,hope you are having a wonderful day?

He doesn’t top Johnny but he was the last of the good ones.
Man, this was like 18yrs ago, how crazy time flies!
This is the first time ive ever seen jet li do an interview of any kind. Just bought unleashed on dvd from a random street market and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Jet Li was one of my fav fighting/action movies actors during the 90s and early 2000s. Legend
Hello 👋🏻 how are you doing,hope you are having a wonderful day?
Same here mate
Jet li is so well spoken in English, very impressive.. keeping up with fast talking conan.. also, jet li is just to awesome!
He should've gotten an Oscar for that movie . He was excellent in that role !!
What movie?
What movie?
@@marklouisepascua Unleashed
In the movie the Mummy Dragon... He portrayed a cruel character and the way he used his eyes to portray cruelty was on point, it gave me the shivers. He is a good actor.
This guy and Jackie Chan made going to the theaters fun back then. They did something truly unique with their kung fu fighting style that had everyone in awe!
Don't forget Samo Young
Jetli is still my favorite martial artist
Legend, gentleman, and truly down to earth.
He made our childhood great with all those classic movies. Respect!
I was a little more into Jackie Chan as a kid but the older I got the more I liked Jet Li and realised he's a genuinely nice person and has equal skill, so now I love Jet the best
Jackie Chan is a performer at heart who happens to do martial arts part of his training(+Singing, choreography, comedy, drama, theater), Jet Li is a fully fledged martial artist who got into movies
he got hypothyroidism just like me. I lift weights and run in my 20's but after getting this sickness, I feel like my energy has been sapped. I still run and go to the gym, but I get fatigued easily.
Wait a couple more years
@@Kopie0830 Me too, get on Levothyroxine, your Dr. will prescribe.That is the hormone your thyroid releases
@Kopie0830 go to Dr Berg Y/T there is a lot of safe ways to mange ur 'ism , get hormone test as I'd this condition & minimal adjustments can safely reduce symptoms..
I miss this Legend's presence on screen. Nothing these days comes as close to Bruce, Jackie, Jet or Yen. They are one of a kind.
True, but atleast we still have Donnie Yen
Don't forget Jackie Wu Jing and Iko Uwais
Don't forget Chow Yun fat
Tony Ja
We all want to see more Jackie Chen and Jet Lee movies lot more. These guys are true legends
They are creation of that time,and time pass by.Golden age past.
Fist of Legend. One of the best fight movies. The scene with the lieutenant-general…brilliant.
Truly a masterpiece
Seriously. This movie made me a fan. After watching Fist of Legend, I had to go through Jet Li's back catalog and watch all his older movies!
Jet Li was super impressive when he did his techniques. Super clean and fast. Remember watching his origional movies from China. The modern movie that stuck the most was called "The One". Where he displayed two different styles. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
my fav movie of his
Kiss of the Dragon and Legend are his two best movies hands down.
so many hits Jet has, once upon A Time in China series, New legend of Shaolin, MY fav US Film was Kiss of The Dragon, My Father is Hero, , also Hero a great film, so so many, Black Mask, so so fast, US filmmaker couldn't catch his speed on film except for Kiss of tHE dRAGon which I believe were European filmmaker, Fearless as well was great, Tai Chi master ,, so so many hits
@@E24G no they STILL couldn't keep up with him on Kiss of the Dragon lol him and the shorter of those two blonde guys were fighting so fast the camera just wasn't keeping up
@@Ethan-wr2os you're right.. ohh what is his name the small blonde dude, he was I think in District B13 , JET LI true legend!!
My kung fu teacher told me the same thing. After you win, just pretend you are hurt as well to give your opponent face. "The point of martial arts is to make friends," he would always say. "When the other person realizes they can't defeat you, they'll want to become your friend based on the respect they now have for you."
"After you win, just pretend you are hurt as well to give your opponent face."
Beautifully said. Definitely sounds like the humility that should be part of martial arts.
Your teacher sounds like a coward that lives in a gated community. The world is a harsh place you better step up and be ready.
Serves a dual purpose just in case your opponent is dishonorable
Actually, what you are describing in the last part of your statement is not usually about "respect" as much as fear and or wanting to use you to combat their enemy's. I speak from experience. While it is true that respect can be earned from a "friendly" sparring match, often times a no hold bar brawl that is initiated by the immature, turns their desire to be top dog into the top dog leash holder. ;) Be friendly, until it is time not to be. Be on guard not just from the physical altercations, but also the con men that are more about what they can get out of people than being your friend. (again I speak from experience)
All the respect of the old martial arts is being destroyed by classless MMA fighters.
He was one of those guys who I enjoyed watching as a villain, his role in Lethal Weapon 4 was amazing, he stole that show.
One thing i love about Conan is his ability to read the room so well.
3:48 Jet Li is 60 years old bro, but since Jet Li approved the 42 years of age then probably this episode was filmed 18 years ago and just got released 😂😂😂
Yeah in the description they put (Original Air Date: 5/6/05), so indeed this was a little over 18 years ago
Now. It makes sense.
@@Lakeone_Unbelievable. Wow!!! Great video quality for 2005
Jet Li is an awesome guy. Love all of his movies!!! Much respect to him!
Hello 👋🏻 how are you doing,hope you are having a wonderful day?
Jet Li makes me want to weep with joy. I don’t even understand it, but this man’s existence is a celebration of life.
I love this guy, an incredible actor
Jet Li is a part of my childhood ❤
These are some of the people who defined my childhood. He looks young and healthy so happy to see
This was almost 20 years ago. Original Air Date 05/06/05. Hope he is doing better, last I heard not so much
Jet Lee is the one who is always
Very simple and down to earth
Such a positive and uplifting human being. We miss you a lot Jet!!!
He dodged Conan’s questions like a pro
Jet Li is now 60 years old as of April 2023. What an iconic actor, surprised to find out he was invited to the US such a long time ago when Nixon was president. But it’s sad that these shows aren’t being produced any longer due to the ongoing conflict with the writers guild of America strike.
I'm kinda surprised that he & Conan the same age and born only 8 days apart 😅
This was 18 years ago?
Pretty sure this is the interview at the time of his movie Unleashed going to theaters. Which was 2005.... Conan stopped production in 2009 and had absolutely nothing to do with the writers strike of 2023..
@@Dassick89 correct. But shows in general aren’t being produced because of what was happening. Just something I miss watching at night. Cheers!
Jet and Jackie, man!!! Made my childhood, teens and adulthood!!! God bless 'em!!!
Jet Li is AWESOME!!!
I love Jet Li, especially Fearless! What a movie!
Fearless is very underrated IMO . Purfect movie of true life character
Twin Warriors.... deep message behind this movie
@@TheFelonizedkriminal He was actually filming for Fearless when he took this interview, if you look at his hair the front half is shaved under that cap he's wearing. So this is right after Unleashed has come out and he's begun filming for Fearless here, or at least got the haircut necessary for the role
In Fearless he is a savage
Then try the one jet li multivarse
My introduction to Jet Li was Lethal Weapon 4 and he was crazy! I agreed with Mel and Danny when they saw Jet grieving his recent dead brother in the movie and they were like “we should let this one go…we wanna live and be fathers and grandfathers” (paraphrase) 😂
My intro to Jet Li was LW4 as well and I found him terrifying. Having Jet Li in it was the best way to end the franchise.
@@marisgoldenhour6212 They are working on a fifth installment! 😃
@@zdp85magic They gotten too old for this shit.
czcams.com/users/shortscyagnrlgv1Q?si=_T8CI7sRD7ndJ5_H
That’s when I first saw him, too. I was like uh oh, we’re gonna be seeing more of this cat someday.
I love Jet Lee and Jackie Chan and their smiles
1:51 I love the way he laughs so unique
Comedians make great guests. Martial artists like Jackie Chan and Li are a close second. 💯
Those two are comedians in their own way.
@@KeithHiew Jackie Chan maybe but I never saw Jet Li as a comedian in any sense lol
Both of them have great personality and sense of humour. You can see that even when they are not speaking their native tongue, their Chinese interviews are fantastic to watch.
@@Ethan-wr2oshis early movies had lots of comedy elements, maybe a cultural element if you don’t appreciate
@@leedonghae435 I know but referring to Jet Li as a comedian isn't really a good title either, that's what I am saying 😅 he is a martial artist. Jackie Chan you could even say is naturally more of a comedian considering he grew up in Beijing Opera, but not Jet Li.
Such a nice guy Jet Li. I think him and Jackie Chan are very talented and humble human beings. They could be arrogant and walk around like the toughest most successful martial artist but they are amazing people. I liked the way Conan did this interview aswell, because there are so many that are disrespectful towards these nice actors. I thought Conan was genuinely glad to speak with him and hear what he had to say.
Jet Li has recovered from his illness too which is GREAT news
Right he could be Steven Seagal lol
Speaking of non-disrespectful hosts (*cough*Kimmel*cough*), Jonathan Ross is another one, probably due to the fact that he is a big fan of the genre.
@@williamnunn8847Really? Damn, Yeah!
Jackie Chan ain't that humble, Bruh.
He is more of an asshole than anything. But being such a high public figure in China he kinda must conceal who he really is. And yeah maybe today he is humble, but back then he was a constant drunk and whore fucker and beat his son. Dunno if that translates as being humble. But like I said, he might have learned his lesson it seems.
I love Jet Li! Such a passionate and inspiring martial artist and actor.
He never gets old
This interview is taken in 2005
UNLEASHED was brutal action done right. Brutal, but had a story. My favorite Jet Li movie.
I miss this man’s movies
Iconic characters. Played.
Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Donnie Yen. They're all so good. Fearless, Hero and Fist of Legend are classics.
Jet Li is so wholesome ! Bless his heart.
Wholesome is a descriptor of food.
Jet LI , thank God he is still around. He is my number 1 martial arts actor anytime any day. The best 😅😅😅😊😊😊❤❤❤😊
Conan really brings out the best in many of his guests.
Jet Li, Jackie chan, Tonny jaa, Donny living legends
Jet Li is a stand up dude, and a freaking martial arts legend, his movies got me into martial arts though I went with Tae Kwon Do. Still, mad respect. Loved his films.
What a lovely guy. He seems so intimidating in the movies but his smile here puts me at ease. ❤
How to be jet li?
1. Smile
2. Be drunk
3. Play badminton
He’s telling us To
1. Give a soft appearance
2. Act like you’re disoriented
3. BUT, be about that action
Jet Lee & Jackie Chan in the film the Hidden Kingdom is pure 🔥. BOTH are pure legends 💯
This guy is truly majestic in his fight scenes! Really incredible! He has that Bruce Lee Quality onscreen. His own style though. Bad man! He seems to be a cool humble person as well.
How is he today?
@@scpk2246 some report him as alive and well. He has a condition known as hyperthyroidism which has limited him to not taking the more physically demanding roles as of late. He's also 60 years old. Might be time to ease up a bit. Then again, I don't know. He's a physical wonder. I'm 62 and am not lol! Arthritis becomes an issue in your 60s sometimes. At least with me. I didn't see it coming. Don't know what effects hyperthyroidism has on a 60+ year old body as in Mr. Li's situation.
@@primusmoss-ln6jcoh, that's nice - jet li is just a cool guy - and missed by many
@@scpk2246 oh yeah! I totally agree with you! He's one of my favorite all time Martial Artists! He's exciting to watch onscreen!
I love Jet Li. I really miss his movies. I guess I can watch the old ones, but I wish we could have a new one.
Mulan (Disney Movie 2020)
It’s so great to see Jet Li appears again. I love his martial art fighting in films
I love how Conan can’t even conceal how much he disagreed with jet li after he said “ to win a fight is to smile more. “ . . Conan’s just like 🥱 . 😂
Thank you Jet Li for making our childhood awesome
I love his acting. Fearless is one movie that really touched me.
He will have just started filming for Fearless when this interview happened, the front half of his head is shaved under that cap, which is probably also why he wore a cap for the interview lol
I like the movie when he wears that collar around his neck and acts like a dog
Me too
That movie is where i got my name from.
When i first watched "The One" I became such a fan.
Warrior, Romeo Must Die, and going back to his older films that i found dubbed or subtitled.
Jackie I knew of much sooner, from Police Story and Drunken Master etc.
It was such a joy to see them both team up in The Forbidden Kingdom, even if that movie wasn't as good as it should of been for them to shine.
the guy is cheerful and charismatic. great guy
wow that pronunciation of Zui Quan by Conan was not bad! and this is honestly the most English I've ever heard Jet Li speak, his English is better than Jackie's!
I loved Unleashed. It was different compared to other action type movies and a good story too
best movie.. black mask was good too
I know that movie like the palm of my hand couldn't get enough of it
good story 🤣
Epic and underrated! I liked The One, too
@kozigreek Man, totally forgot about The One
Both jet li and jacky chan are legend but very down to earth. Humble
I wish we could relive an era again when we had Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen & other talented Martial Arts stars on the big screen giving us classics.
Drunk fighters are unpredictable 😂
The drunk style is to stay fluid and to cause unpredictability to confuse you're opponent
Another legend without enemies
Bruce Lee, Jet Li and Jackie Chan are 3 Asian action star who made my childhood memories great.. 😊
"Just Smile" perfect self-defense technique, who beats a smiling guy?
Love Jet Li. I wanted to see him reprise his role with the expendables movie franchise but his health comes first. Would lovr to see him more of mentor cameo if possible. Shang Chi sequels, Iron Fist, John Wick and future epic Martial arts films with cameos maybe with Donnie Yen too. Thank you Team Coco for this upload.
That would be really cool
Nope no Hollywood bs. Hollywood turns these legends into lesser versions of themselves
@@Lilianjade Donnie Yen actually pitched an idea to Jackie Chan to make their own Asian version of the Expendables, and Jackie said he would do it only if Jet Li agreed to be a part of it. I don't think it will happen now but could you imagine?
@@Ethan-wr2osseems like it is not going to happen, is it? or is it in the making?
@@sky23papa naw it was just a pipe dream Donnie Yen pitched to Jackie Chan so nothing has come of it beyond a conversation between them. I don't think it will, mostly due to Jet Li stepping away from cinema
Very enjoyable interview. Thank you Conan and Jet
Danny the Dog/Unleashed is a great movie
This man made my childhood from all the way in a slum community in Liberia, Africa. Great to see he’s in a great shape in 2023.
Always have a thing for Jet li, such a cool guy
So cool to see all the Jet love - same boat as all these people who have such fond memories of him.
Legendary jet Li is a living legend he has nothing left to prove the important thing he's in good health and guiding the way for the future
What a wholesome interview.
Aw man, got my hopes up. Saw the thumbnail and thought, “ wow Jet is looking better nowadays!” only to realize this video is nearly 20 years old 😢
His smile is so beautifil!
Conan is so far above any other talk show host. Love Conan & Jet Li, seem like genuinely good dudes dedicated to their craft
Jet Li is impressive and seems to have a good focus as a human being... The best self-defense technique is a smile (to deescalate and avoid violence). We should always try hard to use that ahead of anything else. I hope he is doing better these days. I heard he was facing some health problems.
Love his tone voice. Never change after all.
He was a hero for 90's kids...I literally blew my tv back then by watching his movies..
Happy to see him again
