Jet Li says keep expectations low for fight scenes with Jackie Chan

HONG KONG: Jet Li is urging audiences to keep expectations low for his eagerly anticipated fight scenes with Jackie Chan in the upcoming Hollywood movie "The Forbidden Kingdom" because it's not that kind of movie — and they are both getting too old.

In a phone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, 44-year-old Li said he and Chan, 53, talked about working together for more than a decade.

"When Jackie Chan and I first wanted to work together 15 years ago, our passion was at its peak. We were both in our 30s. Our desire to succeed was very strong," Li said. "Now we joke that when we watch the 'The Forbidden Kingdom' our combined age is 100."

But, he added, if the audiences still want fight scenes, "we'll oblige."
