Bruce is the man. He was definitely ahead of his time.

As an action director I always try to bring something fresh and new.

A lot of Chinese martial arts films were based on Chinese martial arts novels. And these novels created a world of putting history, calligraphy, and martial arts into one.

Martial art is a form of expression, an expression from your inner self to your hands and legs.

In Hollywood, I'm lucky, I only do big movies like 'Blade.' It's much more comfortable: you have a trailer.

For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.

Personally, I prefer contemporary films, but the market calls for more period choices, especially since China opened up a cinema market in Hong Kong. There's a lot of restriction for contemporary films simply because of subject matter.
