First of all Darren went to Hong Kong as a stepping stone to America, he wanted to learn from the guys in Hong Kong, hoping to bring some of their action skills to English language films. He is a very good martial artist himself and recently appeared in I Spy with Eddy Murphy and Owen Wilson.

Darren says the film Tai Chi 2 was shot under the title "Tai Chi Fist" but they released it in Asia and North America as "Tai Chi 2" (which doesn’t really make sense as it’s not the sequel to Jets Li’s Tai Chi Master.)

Taichi 2 was shot on location in Hangzhou, China and the crew and everybody flew there from HK.
