things down because the surface of it doesn't look interesting. go with the people.e. i feltlthese people really had something and they were coming from a real place. i think it fulfills the requirements of what entertainment is. that is, get to them without them knowing it. >> you might save the world. >> you don't even know kung fu. >> then you will teach us. >> nobody said this was going to be easy. >> i love his passion and his love for kung fu. that's what i relate to. when i was a kid dreaming of being a rock star or an actor, i looked up to all my heroes i i those fifids.

>> i love that character so much. what a villain. >> he's the big ox from another dimension who has a big chip on his shoulder. no one knows who he is. >> his evilness is basically all coming from the fact that he just feels so unseen. his ego is really bruised. in politics. it's all about their ego. this is a film for everyone. >> i was excited to be part of the whole franchise because i loved the first two movies. then i learned that the guy they wanted me to play is the big new bad guy.

om my perspective, i don't know at what point in the process of writing the if that was always an idea they had about him or if it was something that kind of evolved, that he would be this big, physical presence and this giant ego, universe. when people don't know who he is, he is like, wait, what? >> he's back. >> i think this movie has a lot of good things to say. my favorite line is, if you only do what you can, you will never

>> it was quite physically demanding, for sure. but i love that, so i trained pretty much every day for three months before and during the movie. >> it was funny because i'm playing a character has no ability. the director kept reminding me, this is not an army movie, like you have never touched a gun before. it was opposite for me. i had to pretend like i don't know what i'm doing. first, you take out the easy ones. kill them as efficiently as possible.
