Usually with this genre the first thing that happens is a good fight sequence to show that you're in good hands. So we broke that rule. I think a lot of that comes from the western audience.

Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.

The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.

I like to think I'm un-categorisable.

Making a martial arts film in English to me is the same as John Wayne speaking Chinese in a western.

I find it hard to deliver straightforward things.

A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.
