August 8, 2003 — "Having Sammo there helped me a lot and I think he also managed to goad Jackie into pushing the envelope where the action was concerned," says Gordon Chan, who worked with both men on Thunderbolt (1995).
"I remember one scene in which Jackie had to somersault up to a roof and we had shot several takes. Sammo still insisted that Jackie was a little slow and Jackie told him, `Hey, I am not 20-something any more'. Sammo's response was `You can't do it? I'll do it then'. Jackie did it."
