The folks at Blackfilm.com have published a collection of videos from what appears to be a rough version of THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM DVD. Jet Li and Jackie Chan are interviewed on the set of the film and seven other short clips show different action sequences in better context than we’ve seen from the official clips circulating on Youtube.

Both stars point out that this film is meant to be a fun, Westernized version of Chinese culture that they hope will further bridge the gap between East and West. Jackie gives light praise to screenwriter John Fusco for being someone who loves Chinese culture and manages to bring many familiar themes, such as Drunken boxing and the Monkey King, together into one movie. Jet said he made this movie for his kids.
It was no surprise to discover that the stars quickly found their fighting groove while filming sparring sequences. “I just let him know my rhythm,” said Chan. “Mostly, when I fight with people [it requires] more than 10 takes, 15 takes. Every time I fight with Jet Li – three takes. The more difficult fights – five takes, that’s all.”
