Legendary Hong Kong martial arts actor Jet Li reveals nearly blinding Ip Man star Donnie Yen while filming fight sequences in two different movies.
Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen recently recalled two different occasions when legendary martial arts actor Jet Li nearly blinded him. Beginning in the early 80s, Li made a name for himself as one of the top martial artist action stars in Hong Kong cinema with films including Born to Defence and Shaolin Temple 3: Martial Arts of Shaolin. Li solidified himself as an icon in the genre with his historical fiction epic Once Upon a Time in China as folk hero Wong Fei-hung.
Ten years later, the pair starred in the epic Hero when Li cuts Yen again, this time above his right eye. Here is the full quote below: [Discussing Hero] I remember there was another choreography where he was wired up with a sword. Now, although these are prop swords, they are still quite pointy. This whole shot was one take, about 50 moves or something. At the end of the 50 movies, maybe the 48th, 49 moves, he strikes down with his sword. He went, "Boop!" And I back up, Jet said, "Donnie, there's blood spilling out of your face." I said, "Really? Let me take a look.
