Ti Lung : I made this film for free, I didn’t ask for a fee because the proceeds were going to be given to the HK Stuntman Association. I didn’t ask for a single dollar because as I’ve already told you, I had sent a few stuntmen to hospital for broken ribs or eye problems. This film had a great success in HK, the production earned a lot of money, the money was given to the association and after two years, the money disappeared…

The character I play is Jackie Chan's father. I loved this part because I didn’t merely fight, I could show my acting skills and my ability to please the audience.

In this film, there is a scene when I punish my son (Jackie Chan), I hit him with a stick. I tell Jackie Chan that we will only make one take and warn him that he must put stuffing under his costume to protect himself for I won’t fake my blows, I must look very angry. He protected one side… but I hit the other side! Another actor would have been scared to play this scene, but not him, although he’s extremely popular and has a lot of power.

Ti Lung : Now what I’m looking forward to is retirement, making the most of life. I’ve just finished two television series. The first one is General Yang, a part which demanded a lot of energy because the series contains many equestrian fights. The second one deals with a very famous painter.

I talked with my wife and we should spend the rest of our lives spending our money and not keeping it. Moreover, my son Tam Jun-Yin is starting out in the film industry, he’s starting a film career, and it’s now my turn to help him and to guide his steps.

I wanted to thank the French audience for their support, and the interest they have for Hong Kong films.
