Awesome! Well, before we dive in, our mission is to encourage 100 million people around the world to get into martial arts for all the positive benefits that it brings to individuals, physically, mentally and socially – what do you think about this goal? I think it’s great! I think it’s important to get the martial arts culture correct, and there’s...
That’s definitely our goal! Okay, well, let’s kick off with how you became involved with the martial-arts, crime thriller “Undercover Punch and Gun”? It was my project, I was one of the producers on it. Andy, Vanness and I all met on “Star Runner”, and it was a first for everybody. It was the first time I was hired as an assistant choreographer, An...
We always used to talk about movies from 80’s and 90’s Hong Kong that influenced us, and that’s part of the reason why I’m here making movies. I was working on a movie that was produced by Charlie Wong, and I’m always vocal about my ambitions and intents, and he said, “Hey, do you have an idea for a movie with your friends?” And I said “Yeah, I do,...
I think the most memorable thing was that Andy broke two of my ribs making this movie, and I had to finish it with two broken ribs. We shot pretty much in-sequence, which is very rare, but it was just lucky that it worked out with the locations and everything like that. When we got to the ending, Andy fights me, and there’s a sequence of moves that...
We kept shooting, and I even did a wire shot after that where they pulled me into a wall really hard, but I was still okay. But then, I went into the make-up trailer, and because I was sweaty, I took off my shirt, got a blast of air conditioning and I started sneezing. On my first sneeze, I felt a pop, and it was gone. I told my boys to come in and...
People were telling me I should stop production for a bit, and I said “I can’t, all the locations are locked in, we’re doing the ending, and we don’t have money for pick-ups.” You can see that I’m pretty buff at the beginning of the movie, but I kind of shrink and shrink, because I got caught with some kind of stomach infection and I was puking a l...
So the last week of production was full of all of that, so that was very tough, but you know, it’s testament to how desperation causes you to kind of endure what you need to endure. I learned a lot from that experience as an action director of what to do and not do, and I’m planning to do more. So I definitely learned how to make life a lot easier!
Was that your first time doing a fight scene with Andy where you were injured? You guys have done quite a lot together. Yeah, he’s my best bud. I’ve fought him a lot and choreographed a lot of his movies, and that’s really the only time I’ve gotten injured doing it. Sometimes it’s nice when I go in for a choreography gig that I’m not acting in, bec...
Even with a bigger budget and more ways of cheating certain things, I think I still would’ve shot it the way that I did with Vanness on top of a car, Andy shooting guns in people’s faces and me getting punched and kicked in the stomach. I want that visceral feeling, a lot of movies today, they hire a pop star, train him for two weeks, and put him i...
Is being an action director a role you’d like to continue with? Well, throughout the almost twenty years of my career, I’ve been doing both acting and choreography. Before I was a choreographer, I was a stuntman, and then I was doing acting and doubling work at the same time, then I got upgraded to choreographer and then action director. For my own...
