When I was a kid, I loved Jackie Chan.
Best fight ever in a movie: 'They Live.' I want to do a martial arts version of that, where you think it's ended, and it just keeps on going. I love that fight. It was funny as well. Unexpected.
My father was, like, the token bad white guy in all the old Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee films.
From my childhood, I have watched a lot of action films, and I am a big fan of Jackie Chan.
I thought I should forget Hollywood and go back to Hong Kong. I'm so lucky that finally Hollywood accepts my comedy fighting.
'Legend of the Drunken Master' was my favorite.
I loved Jackie Chan growing up, watching mostly his Hong Kong film work.
I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.
I'm a huge lover of 'Seven Samurai' and anything Kurosawa ever did. The comedic work out of Japan in terms of martial arts movies, some of them are hilarious.
I love 'Enter the Dragon,' and I love Japanese movies. I love Jackie Chan movies; they are my heroes.
What we did with 'Tai Chi Zero' and 'Tai Chi Hero' was break down the martial-arts genre and make it younger, hipper, and kind of cooler for the younger kids.
I am so happy because I want more people to like martial arts movie not just martial arts audience. Even martial arts can be used in comedy, in drama, in horror movies, in different kinds of movies.
I am a huge fan of Jackie Chan and I have seen the 'Police Story' series so many times.
I certainly look at them very differently now, and enjoy Jackie Chan movies and movies like that.
