Along the way, he pairs up with a wacky sell-out actor, Frankie played by Jacky Cheung , and proceeds to engage in a series of violent battles in a high-rise building.

The setting is similar to that of Die Hard and both their Chinese film titles. This movie is notable in that director Wong Jing had such a terrible experience working with Jackie Chan in Jing's previous film City Hunter that he chose to make Cheung's character a biting satire of Chan. Li would later publicly apologise to Chan for taking part in it.

He agreed to do Lethal Weapon 4 after the producer Joel Silver promised to give him the leading role in his next film, Romeo Must Die , alongside singer Aaliyah. The film became a box office hit.

Though Li spoke very little English at the time of production, his performance as Chinese mafia hitman Wah Sing Ku was praised.

The award recognizes "artists who have raised the visibility of the Asian Pacific American community through theater, film and television.

Li took on a more serious role in the film, Unleashed a. Danny the Dog , where he portrayed an adult with the mentality of a child who has been raised like an animal. Although his martial arts skills were used extensively, it was a somber film with more depth than had been previously seen in Li's films, and co-starred dramatic actors Bob Hoskins and Morgan Freeman.

In , the martial arts film epic Fearless , was released worldwide. Although he will continue to make martial arts films, Fearless is his last wushu martial arts film. Fok Yun Gap , as well as Huo Yuanjia himself. Fearless was released on 26 January in Hong Kong, followed by a 22 September release in the United States where it reached second place in its first weekend.

I stepped into the martial arts movie market when I was only I think I have proved my ability in this field and it won't make sense for me to continue for another five or 10 years. Huo Yuanjia is a conclusion to my life as a martial arts star. Li has stated in an interview with the Shenzhen Daily newspaper that this will be his last martial arts epic, which is also stated in the film's television promotions.

However, he plans to continue his film career in other genres. Specifically, he plans to continue acting in epic action and martial arts films dealing more with religious and philosophical issues. Li's Hollywood film, War , was released in August of that year, and re-teamed him with actor Jason Statham , who previously starred with him in The One , and action choreographer Corey Yuen.

He has a very good control of the strength of every fist and kick. In the past, he used too much strength, those that get hit would be in great pain. He's the archetype of power.

He collects rare Tibetan beads. Li, as a Buddhist, believes that the difficulties of everyday life can be overcome with the help of religious philosophies. I never say to myself I'm the best fighter in the world. If someone learns martial arts solely to pick fights on the street, to lean on it as a keystone weapon in conflicts, to use it to bully and intimidate others — then that person, in my opinion, cannot be considered a true martial artist.

According to Li, everything he has ever wanted to tell the world can be found in three of his films: the message of Hero is that the suffering of one person can never be as significant as the suffering of a nation; Unleashed shows that violence is never a solution; and Fearless tells that the biggest enemy of a person is himself. Li thinks that the greatest weapon is a smile and the largest power is love.

About Wushu, he said that he believes the essence of martial arts is not power or speed but inner harmony, and considers it a sad development that today's Wushu championships place greater emphasis on form than on the essence of being a martial artist. He believes Wushu now lacks individuality and competitors move like machines, whereas according to his views Wushu should not be considered a race where the fastest athlete wins.

He would like to see Wushu as a form of art, where artists have a distinctive style. Li blames the new competition rules that, according to him, place limitations on martial artists. Li believes that Wushu is not primarily for self-defense and instead of trying to play the hero people should think about peaceful resolutions of conflicts and call the police if necessary:.

Like I've said many times before, it is important to differentiate between movies and reality. The hero in movies may be able to knock the gun off his opponent and save the day, but in real life — probably that is not the case. He has also stated that he has never had to use his martial arts skills in a real-life fight and he does not wish to, either.

Taiji Zen combined the martial art of tai chi taijiquan in Chinese with practices such as meditation. It packaged these into several different classes and online programs. In April , touched by his life-shaking experience in the Maldives when he was close to dying during the tsunami , Li formed his own non-profit foundation called One Foundation.
