Jet Li.....Dead ??!!??!!??

[MikeW]

i saw a commercial for his new movie(forgot the name) but the announcer guy says "Introducing Jet Li in his last action adventure." To me that sounds like he's dead or not making movies anymore...anyone know whats up??

[That1guyN8]

This will be his last movie and no he's not dead.

[MikeW]

Why is he getting out of the biz?

[deevergote]

He's getting old. Rather than hurt himself or make lame movies, he's not doing the martial arts epics anymore. He'll probably still act, but you won't see any of the crazy fighting... and his last movie had plenty of that! It was awesome.

[NAiL05]

They say he will be the producer of movies (action obviously) but hes retiring from acting.

he's getting out because he and jackie chan realized all the movies they do are exactly the same. It gets a bit repetitive

[r0gergcm]

after listening to an interview with him he says the reason is that kung fu movies are too oriented on the violence of martial arts and not on the other spiritual and meditative and helpful sides of it.. and he doesnt like that.

Have to agree.

I'd also have to agree with the age thing, doing your own stunts can really take a toll on your body.

Do you actually watch their movies? I'd say the majority of Jackie's are comedic in some way, whereas Jet Li does more darker thematic oriented action movies.

A little thing called "Retirement".....we wants to go out in his prime.

[91accordwagon]

He's doing the right thing and going out batting 1k. Smart man imo

[stewie]

theres that tony guy(i think his name is tony...) the main star from ong bak..he'll be the main guy from now on for a few years probably.

[texasvtak]

Tony Jaa. The next martial arts movie badass.
