A
MESSAGE FROM JET LI
Hi,
This is Jet Li.
Just yesterday I watched the completed version of Kiss
of the Dragon.
After Romeo Must Die was released many fans on my website
posted their opinions about the movie -- what they liked
and didn't like, what they wanted to see in my future
films -- and so I utilized many of these suggestions when
developing Kiss of the Dragon. I want to thank all the
fans who gave me their honest opinions. Kiss of the Dragon
is my response to the suggestions of many of my fans.
The movie utilizes very realistic, hard-core, action-packed
fight sequences.
I'm very proud of the final result and hope that my fans
enjoy the movie, however, this is a movie that I do not
feel is appropriate for children.
Over the years, I've received many suggestions from people
about which of my movies are their favorite. Some people
like Fist of Legend ... some people like My Father is
a Hero. It is impossible to please all of the people in
the world with any one movie. Kiss of the Dragon is an
adult movie and deals with adult themes of a man keeping
his promise and understanding his responsibilities. The
action scenes are also directed towards an adult audience
and as such the movie is rated R.
I ask that you please do not take your young children
to see Kiss of the Dragon. If you would like a movie to
share with your children please wait a few more months.
On November 2 my film The One will be released. This is
a PG-13 film and more appropriate for younger children
to view.
I want to thank each of you for your support and I am
looking forward to reading your opinions about my latest
release, Kiss of the Dragon. I'm happy with how this movie
turned out and I hope that, after watching it, you will
share my enthusiasm.
- Jet

"Kiss
of the Dragon"
Jet
Li is incredible!
Li is the newest action hero, little words from a little man
with a ton of power and grace. Li does things with his martial
arts that few before him and little after have done or will
be able to do.
Jet Li plays a detective flown from China to France to help
out on a sting operation. But he gets mixed up with the wrong
group of guys and is set up. He must fight to clear his name
and fight he does.
The movie is produced by Luc Besson who directed "The
Professional" and you can tell it has some of his personality.
The movie is based on a story by Jet Li himself. Director
Chris Nahon sets the mood with slow moving camera shots and
a wonderful score. The editing is fast and furious during
the first fight scenes, but Nahon lets us see Li in all his
glory late in the film with wide shots of Li taking on a group
of karate student a la Bruce Lee.
This movie is perfect for the action fan, it has Bridget Fonda
in a role that helps connect the pieces and doesn't get slow
and boring so you won't fall asleep.
For those of you who have not seen Li in any of his previous
Hong Kong action films or "Romeo Must Die", it is
my belief that after seeing "Kiss of the Dragon"
you will want to see more.
