AC (MARIO): Should
we pry about the future. Is there a "Green Hornet" movie coming?
JET:
Yes,
(laughter) we're still talking about it! We didn't decide
yet. We're still talking about it. The movie, and also the "First
King" movie, or "Matrix, Part 2, Part 3"?laughter)
You
know, Americans making movies. I always say, the Hong Kong movie
business (is) like a small family. Just two brothers.
So, they do it? Yes. So, they do it. Nobody�they don't need to ask
mother or father.
So,
the American movie business is like a big family. You have mom,
father, aunt, uncle, sisters, brothers. So, if you want to do something,
you need two years to make one movie. Hi brother! What do you think
to make it this way? Hi, sister, do you think to make it this way?
Hi, aunt, what do you think? Hi, mom, can you give me some money
to make this movie? (laughter)
You
need to ask to make more, use more time, to prepare for one movie.
So that's what I think about it.
AC (MARIO): Before
we leave you, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan�still working. You are the new
kid on the block (in America) although you've been in a lot of movies.
Is there an opportunity perhaps, because your styles are so different
to be working in a movie with them because they're all so different.
You're all so different in your character?
JET:
We're
friends. You know, we've known each other maybe over fifteen years
already. I hope each time I have dinner with Jackie, we always think
about, one, the story. We try to figure (it) out, but never got
the right story, (laughter) right time, because we have planning
the stories, making movies two years, three years. I'm hope in the
future we can work together.
AC
(MARIO): Michael, ask him the last question please.

AC (MICHAEL): In "Romeo Must Die," you don't actually kiss the girl.
Is there a reason?
JET:
Reason? I've heard about this, asked many times (laughter). Actually,
we did. We did two kinds of versions in the movie. We kissed. And,
we didn't kiss. So, we shot both.
Finally,
the producer, Joel Silver, they decided, the studios decided to
cut the kiss part. Because the thinking, it doesn't feel right.
If you stand on my side, my father's just (committed) suicide.
I have come out, kiss the girl? (laugh)�so the heart and the mind
doesn't feel right. Not a perfect time. Maybe if the story continues
to go, we have kids, not just kids, maybe married, maybe something
happens, we don't know yet, but in that time�it's not the right
time, I think.
AC (MARIO): For all the people that
haven't seen "Romeo Must Die," the reviews have been good. Look
at the camera and tell our people to watch your movie, that it's
a must and why!
JET:
I think, pay $8 dollars, (laughter), so you can watch a wonderful
action movie, a little bit romantic story, an American urban city
story, and an Asian martial arts and American hip hop music put
together�drama story�So, I think it's fun for $8 dollars!
AC
(MARIO): Jet Li, we want to thank you very much for joining both
Michael and myself and on behalf of all of our friends. Thank you!
JET:
Thank
you!
