Li also turned down the role of Li Mu Bai in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon which is arguably more of a loss to cinema but that was to support his wife during pregnancy.
- imbnwa 5y agoTBF Chow Yun-Fat is 10x the actor that Jet Li is (and Li, 10x the martial artist especially alongside Michelle Yeoh) and that role required extreme subtlety to depict his unavowed, unrequited love for Yu Shu-Lien which is a big part of the movie. If I'm Ang Lee I'm OK taking the acting over the athletic prowess.
- baby 5y agoYeah I can't imagine Jet Li in that role, he's not the best actor.
- Razengan 5y agoMan, loved that movie, and the nostalgia of the era that its memory invokes. :) Shame the sequel kills him offscreen.
