May 3, 2002 — While Chow Yun-fat is working on BULLETPROOF MONK in Toronto, his long-time partner John Woo has got the honor of leaving his hand print on Hollywood Boulevard on May 20. Of course, he called John immediately. Besides saying some congratulating words, he has complained about being "tortured" by Tung Wai, the movie's action choreographer. He said they were about to shoot some fight scene on a suspension bridge. Woo said he knew Tung Wai for decades and he is an excellent action director and safety would not be a big concern. After wrapping up BULLETPROOF MONK, he will concentrated on preparing for the highly anticipated Woo/Chow reunion - MEN OF DESTINY, set in the background of the construction of America's first transcontinental railroad.

Tung Wai, just won a Hong Kong Film Award for THE ACCIDENTAL SPY, has worked on over fifty movies. He was the original action director of HERO but was replaced by Ching Siu-tung on the set due to disagreement with director Zhang Yimou.
