He also choreographed Jet Li in seven action films. The director's flair for building memorable kung fu moments has put him in high demand in the U.S., where he has been asked by several studios to reshoot some of his earlier works in English. Sitting in a hotel suite overlooking the Hong Kong skyline, the jovial director insists his movies are not only about violent engagements...
