  • That's not what he said. He had said that Fearless was the last 'marital arts' film he would make, as in Chinese meaning of a martial arts film. He mow makes action pictures with martial arts, but no longer and that are a whole character and philosophy of kung fu. Here is an interesting interview he gave: “I said Fearless is my last martial arts movie because I put my heart into that character. All my belief. The physical part, the mental part, everything in that movie. I’ve been learning martial arts since I was eight years old and the character I played is a great martial artist. And also he died at 42 years. The same age when I made that movie, so I put a lot of my life experiences in that film. I said that’s the last martial arts film, because martial arts in my mind is totally different. The Chinese character, how they write about martial arts is to stop war. Stop the war or stop the fighting. The two words, put them together is martial art, like that kind of idea. The real meaning is that, so a few thousand years ago, they started martial arts meaning to stop war. But later on we take out the art, we only fight, fight, fight. Show the violence only. So I told it very clearly in that film. But this kind of film, an action film, I will continue playing [these characters and] making action films. Action - just action. You can find a lot of physical contact, fights, street fight. In my own heart it’s not about art. It’s a different type of movie.”
