	Jet Li

	Jet Li
		Jet Li was born on April 26, 1963 in Beijing, China.
		Critics carped about Li's youth and that he was a Wu Shu player and not a `real' kung fu man. The finished film, Once Upon a Time in China, proved that Jet was just as effective in a classy period piece as he was miscast in a modern-day actioner.
		I am also pleased that Jet Li older movies have been released all over the western world, it gives the audience a chance to see some of the movies that made him who he is. A bit of a bad news was that Jet Li will not appear in Matrix 2 and 3.

	Jet Li's Fearless
		Li's outsize ego aside, Fearless is a graceful and tightly edited kung fu movie, though many of Li's gravity defying moves are assisted by wirework.
		The equipment allows Li to hang in space during several dust-ups, including one on an elevated tower.
		Li does have the wires to help him; I doubt there's a wire made that wouldn't snap under Jones' weight.

	Jet Li's Fearless - ComingSoon.net
		Huo Yuanjia (Jet Li) is the greatest fighter in Tianjin but his prowess comes from pride and anger, and breeds arrogance.
		Li's performance lacks some of the subtle nuance of "Unleashed" but makes up for that in range, moving from the heights of success and arrogance to the depths of loss and understanding.
		His and Li's conversation about the nature of tea is the philosophical heart of the movie and is as good as any fight scene in the film.

	Premiere Magazine - Behind Jet Li's Fearless (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jet Li talks about his return from rumored retirement to play Huo Yuan-jia, one of the founders of wushu, an acrobatic martial art that Li has studied since childhood.
		Li had once played the Bruce Lee hero in a re-make of The Chinese Connection, Gordon Chan's exhilarating head-banger Fist of Legend (1994), so there is a nice symmetry in the notion of backtracking now, as a 42-year-old, to play the revered sifu (teacher) whose passing marked the end of an era.
		Li has distracted for the better part of the past year trying to explain what he really means, and only intermittently succeeding.

	Danny the Dog (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jet Li stars as Danny, a fully grown man with the mind of a child who is a literal slave/pet to Bart (Bob Hoskins), a Glasgow mob boss who keeps Danny in a cage and uses him as a form of "persusasion" to those who owe him money.
		To my immense surprise, it's Jet Li's performance that anchors the film, showing us a side of corrupted innocence and child-like enthusiasm that is sweet, moving, and occasionally even quite humorous.
		Li is surrounded by a fantastic cast with great actors Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins pulling their own weight.

		Li, long the overserious yin to Jackie Chan's comic yang, got his period kung-fu kick-start with 1991's "Once Upon a Time in China." Since then he's been in dozens of historical epics, swathed in silk and draped in torment.
		Li's stern face works too well in a sepia-toned still, impassive yet ready to explode into action.
		Years pass and our little boy has become Jet Li, whose sole ambition is to become the champion of Tianjin, his hometown.

	Amazon.com: Jet Li's Fearless (HD DVD Combo Format): DVD: Jet Li,Brandon Rhea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jet Li plays this legendary figure, whose martial arts style and fearless fight helped the people in China regain their pride in the early 20th century when China was intimidated and humiliated by the growing Western and Japanese powers.
		In `Fearless' Jet Li has shown his best performance since the days he did `Once Upon A Time In China' playing the role of Wong Fei Hung, another legendary hero in China, and the fight scenes (choreographed by Yuen Woo Ping) are all fantastic, sometimes visceral, and sometimes graceful, and always powerful.
		Jet Li fits the role well, and like "Hero" it shows what a big difference getting to do a part in your mother tongue is. His facial expressions alone tell a lot about the character.
