Since both yourself and Jet Li have such different styles, how were the action sequences and working with Jet? What was it like while you were behind-the-scenes?

CHAN: Behind-the-scenes? I just remember first day we are on the set, Woo-ping and the stunt coordinators had choreographed an action sequence and Jet and I were going to take a look. And two stunt guys were doing a demonstration. And I'm standing there with Woo. You know, I am a fast learner. I have been doing this action for so many years. I just look at it once, "Just show me one more time." And then I say, "Let's shoot without rehearsal." And then I look at Jet, and Jet Li's like, "Okay, let's shoot." Then, I suppose - just to make fun of him - and all the cameramen were like, "What? No rehearsal. Okay, let's do it." After first cut, the director and Woo-ping come up and say, "Good, but can you guys slow down?" - because, he wanted to show off quick, I wanted to show off quick. I wanted quicker! Then the director says, "New technology." We had to slow down a bit, and then we slow down. Fighting with him is a very, very comfortable. [The] comfortable is not like some action villain. They just don't know how to fight. It's "Ow" and it gets you hurt. And it just doesn't look good. I have never fought so many other actors and villains, and it's boom and - good, those kinds of rhythm. Wow. I think because I'm good, it makes him comfortable. [laughs].

Will you be in Beijing for the Olympics? How would you like people to be able to see the Olympics?

CHAN: I am the Olympic Ambassador. I always promote Olympics. I just want to tell - Olympics are the Olympics. Cannot mix with politics. Olympics for me is love, peace, united. Every four years are the Olympics no matter what country. Every country when they have Olympics, a lot of people come out opposed. Like L.A., the same, Russia, the same... But this year everyone is just concentrated on China. It just doesn't happen in China, it happens everywhere. I just want to say, please, understand, they are just some naughty boys. They are doing it for no reason. They just want to show up on TV. They know, if I can get the torch then I can go on the TV for the news. That's the wrong thing. They misunderstand. And like I said before, more making Chinese films, more tourists come to China and watch the Olympics and welcome. I am standing in the airport and bowing: welcome, welcome, welcome.

How did it feel to do Drunken Fist after all of these years?

CHAN: Sometimes, I'm very embarrassed. I have to do it again; again and again. I said, "Why does everyone have to see me?" Like I said before, when the people know Jackie Chan movie, "Oh, Drunken Master!’ Especially in the west, even Brett Ratner, Rush Hour 3, there is one scene where I get drunk and get in a fight with a drunken master. And I said, "No! Why does everybody want me to fight drunken master?" But this movie, at the beginning I refuse. But later on, later on, I find out, "Okay, it's a purist movie. And the young boy, love it. That's okay." Not any more. Not any more.

It might be because it looks so special, unlike anything else. That's why we like it.

CHAN: Really? Okay. That depends the box-office. If the box office is good, the next one will be Forbidden Drunken Master.

Can you talk about the locations and how that experience was for you?

CHAN: For the last 10 years I've been working in China, traveling around, because with The Myth going on we've been traveling to so many different locations, different places for the location. For me, it's nothing... I think for him, "Wow, great location, great location." For me? Just used to it.

Is there talk of a [Forbidden Kingdom] sequel?

CHAN: Yeah, just like Rush Hour. Boom! Rush Hour 2, then Rush Hour 3. Now, Rush Hour 4. I mean, Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. Shanghai Dawn! Forbidden Kingdom, Forbidden what? Return to Forbidden Kingdom [laughs].
