In 2008, Jet Li, who had just finished filming "The Mummy 3", received a call from Stallone: "Dude, do you have time to play a cameo role in "Daredevil"? The rewards are yours! ”
Jet Li gladly went, and also brought 10 bodyguards and assistants, and finally Jet Li only stayed on the set for 7 days, but got nearly 100 million yuan in remuneration.
In "Daredevil 1", Jet Li's role is not too heavy, he plays a small fortune fan "Yin yang" in the film, but because "yin and yang" is too funny, many viewers feel that he has not played the style of an oriental kung fu superstar at all.
In fact, this role, originally Stallone was planning to find his friend for many years, the action comedy master Jackie Chan starred, but the result was eaten behind closed doors.
Jackie Chan felt that this role was too small: "This is not enough for me to play."
Later, stallone was interviewed and asked why Jackie Chan did not play, and Stallone confessed: "Because we can give Jackie Chan the role is not big enough, it is not worth Jackie Chan's cameo."
In "Death Squad 2", Jet Li played the "yin and yang", the role was even less, he knocked on the pan a few times, and then jumped an umbrella, and never appeared again, less than three minutes.
However, although there are few scenes, Jet Li is dangerous when shooting this movie.
Stallone was determined to create the most grandfatherly movie in history, and added a lot of explosion scenes, including a demolition scene, when shooting, because the time point of the detonation was wrong, resulting in Jet Li's stand-in "Liu Kun", who died on the spot.
After the incident, the "death squad" crew compensated Liu Kun for 166,000 yuan, and jet Li donated 5.8 million Hong Kong dollars from his own pocket to comfort Liu Kun's family after learning the news.
In "Daredevil 3", Stallone bought a huge amount of insurance for Jet Li to ensure the safety of Jet Li, and it was expected that Jason Statham had an accident during filming...
At that time, because the brakes failed, Jason Statham and his car fell into the sea, fortunately Jason Statham was a diver, which was lucky to escape.
