Jet Li


Jet Li was Wushu (a martial art) national champion in China several times. He got his first part as a shaolin disciple in the film Shaolin Temple. His first attempt at directing, Born to Defense (Born to defend), met with failure. It was good film regardless, because it was the first time Li directed and had more realistic fight scenes.

Personal Quote:

I stepped into the martial arts movie market when I was only 16. 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. Fearless is a conclusion to my life as a martial arts star. See more »
