"God gives the free will for people to change from bad to good and vice versa - whatever they choose to do...It’s up to humanity to decide what they want and which direction to turn. It’s just up to them to change. And with all the power of the leaders, they should do something faster than this. So, we just pray for the best. That’s that, okay? If half the population of the planet becomes vegetarian, that would be already fantastic news."

Supreme Master Ching Hai

Forbidden Kingom: Jet Li vs Jackie Chan Preview; Jackie's Aging Effect

-- Forbidden Kingdom --

Video preview of exchange between Jet Li and Jackie Chan: IGN (40s)

Lu Yan is like the Drunken Master in his carefree take on life and his drinking habit. When he encounters Jason and reluctantly becomes his bodyguard, escort and kungfu teacher, the never serious Lu Yan shows his martial arts skills and his relentless honor and humor. Lu Yan bears strong character resemblance to a few of the Eight Immortals as according to the Chinese Taoist legends.

As for the old Chinese pawnshop owner named Old Hop, whose shop Jason frequents back in Boston, Jackie Chan has this to say, "Those were my favorite scenes. I was imitating Marlon Brando in The Godfather - in both the way he talks and walks but added in a little Jackie Chan style." Chan was never told Old Hop's age so he continued to interpret the character as he saw fit with no objection from the director. His main gripe was with the heavy layers of makeup to age his face and body.

"Throughout the entire day, I did not want to eat or talk because the makeup makes you so easily frustrated." Taking seven hours to put on and another two hours to remove, Chan found the process extremely challenging on his patience. "Sitting there at 5am while the makeup artist swipes glue on to your face like how you spread honey onto a pancake. It was pure torture. So I really admire actors like John Travolta, who puts the suits and makeup onto his entire body." Forbidden Kingdom Production Notes | Photos: Mop
