Let's Steal Together [双子神偷]: Hung and Wu talk about working on the film together.

(Posted In Action Asia Film News Martial Arts )

Hung-Wu.jpgWhen we announced that HK legend Sammo Hung and up-and-comer Jing Wu were joining the cast of Let's Steal Together things got a whole lot more interesting. The script was revised for two roles and to include more action scenes for the two to participate in. The two had a little sit-down with SINA and shared some thoughts about working with each/against each other in this film...

Sammo Hung: "After accepting Let's Steal Together, I often contemplated on improving the action scenes. This time around, Wu Jing is my partner. I have already seen his excellent skills in SPL (aka Kill Zone), in which he showed his great agility and power. He is someone with great potential. So, it's a great opportunity to work with him on a martial arts film. I believe I have a very important mission: to protect the two lovely female leads Twins Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi. Though they have encountered hundreds of battles, but facing such a strong opponent as Wu Jing, it'd benefit them to learn some self-defense techniques, so that they would be able to counter his attacks."

Jing Wu: "I respect brother Sammo Hung a lot, for he treats everyone on the set equally, taking good care of newcomers like us. For example, when he learned that I'd injured myself when filming, he visited me to enquire about my well-being. He even said, 'Though you might have had some minor injuries, I won't hold back when filming, for we have to achieve that authentic feel.' He told me not to be hesitant when fighting him simply because he was a senior. He wanted me to give my all. It's very lucky to work with such a professional actor like brother Sammo Hung."

And breathe. What makes my ear ring with joy are words like, "I won't hold back when filming". The post on Wu-jing.org also reads, Coupled with suggestions from Sammo Hung, producer Tsui Siu Ming and director Kong Tao Hoi designed many earthshaking fight scenes in the movie. Sammo Hung plays a lama who is skilled healer, and has many scenes opposite Wu Jing. Oh joy. Glee, if you will.

Just that Lama thing has me concerned. That's a whole lot of spitting for a movie set... ... oh... LAMA. Not LLAMA. Der!!!
