Ti Lung who had just recently return to Hong Kong after shooting a new movie in New Zealand said "I worked with Korean actor Jang Dong Gun in a Hollywood movie. In that movie I portrayed as JDG master and we have to play sword together. When we were shooting I was really worried that we might hurt one another (based on another news it was mentioned that DG and Ti Lung have to use real sword). I was very nervous so I have insomnia. JDG is very hardworking, I hope that he can succeed in Hollywood!"
