second unit director fight coordinator director yourself done some big huge moves and that's what what i want to talk about today thank you you know i mean i'm lucky you know luckiest thing you know like with this world of jackie chan you know i tell you this funny thing um he is the one like inspiring me to do movie when i when i'm in high school when i see the first you know for his story said that's so funny when i see toy story when he's running down to the hill and this is my my my hood you know i live there that here is my home oh yeah yeah you know he's running down and we are using the cardboard and then we always like after school girls with the cardboard and just slide on kind of like the fake slide in the mountain so he running there and then i that is the first time i'm thinking i never think about doing movie i'm trying to be a police so then when i see that movie i see oh you wanna come to the hill i said oh i can't do that you know this is the hero i'm running down all the time so i say i can do movie what's your martial arts background my background is taekwondo um you know the old olympics in hong kong hong kong yeah i represent hong kong the you know the world taekwondo federation so so like an olympic style so that's why i start doing compete in hong kong and then i uh represent hong kong you know for four years and three times i go to international i go to nepal for asian game i go to career for world game and then i go to taipei for another asian game and that's my last one i want a bonus medal then i i quit and then i start i'm kind of like a retire you know at that moment already into the business so i start working as a stunt man's standable and acting so so busy so after i got the bonsai medal that's my final goal i think i can reach the higher i can go is the bondsman so i say that's it done so because you know in asia you want to be a gold medal you have to beat korea and then tyron the second goal so i think born shadow is the higher i can go you know i mean like so i get it and i say okay that's that's it retire and then i stop being stunned so that's how i start how did you get involved with the jackie chan stunt team then when i started doing this stun i i working for the company is a tv company it's called um tvb i don't know you heard that yeah the tv tv is like one of the biggest uh hong kong team television and i work as a stunt man you know muscle artists you know like do small roles and then i start doing stunt level but then i contract um for with them almost seven years before i go to jackie uh i don't know the movie i work for him they call me some nice guy it's lucky it's unlucky for him lucky for me he hurt his neck somehow he chose his neck and muscle you cannot turn the head like this i remember when i come here the necklace like this you know he cannot be moving and then um i know his standard will get her too so they call me and you know come from nowhere and suddenly i got a phone call hey do you want to come to australia i work for jackie chan and i say as a lucky at that moment uh my contract at with the tv company i got fired i got fired because i go luckily for you and in the tv everyone go out to working at the movie too they signed a contract with the tv but they they like sneaky oh kind of like open they let people do that but i don't know i'm the first one got fired because say oh you working outside oh really i got a picture from the newspaper stuntable with the actress so they say oh you we have approved you cannot working for outside and then they ask me to leave the company or they fire me so i have to leave the company because if i don't leave them they say i never go back to the company so i say okay then i'll leave so i left by myself i i reside and then at just right after one week i got the phone call saying hey do you want to come if i don't have that trouble i don't think i would left the company so i would never go for turkey chip so that's just like it was a blessing in disguise yeah so i was lucky then i go to australia stuff with him as uh you know joining the team and then everything's like so perfectly coming i go to australia you know he did he already go to america he go to hollywood he did big ball he did cannonball one he did but he knocked success successful because they're trying to change jackie chan's style i mean so kind of big brawl was his style but protector was like what was that it was like yeah so he fell with that you know so you remember to hong kong and start doing his own movie right so he's not doing holy story when i go to australia it's just right after i work for him we're in the melbourne after three months he suddenly uh rumbled in the bonds it got really success in america yeah and then fake success right so suddenly he like wow he's back to hollywood and then when we go to sydney i remember right after melbourne and we moved to the location to sydney and they say oh you know i got to uh i i'm going to hollywood my next movie go to hollywood and he asked me is it do you want to come with me so of course i want to come to you so that's it that's like i said lucky coming he got that success back to uh hollywood and then that's how we go to rush hour and then watch our success yeah and then shanghai loon and then watch out too stanley tong you know the director yes he got the tv's pilot it's called martial law oh yeah so they say oh i cannot follow him and i go there he said yeah you can borrow him my next movie is uh later the song so so i got through the pilot just for a short period but then the pilot we haven't finished and then we got pick up so i got another eight months for the whole season so all of a sudden you've become an american you were in america this time yeah let me ask you this you were a stuntman for seven years in in hong kong before you went with the jack chan stunt team did how did you learn everything there was to learn by the time you'd gone over to jackie's team or did you learn even more once you got there mostly in tv is like the epic you know the um the custom you know the old the wire system you know the woosa you know those are muscle so we do a lot of usa wire so that is my background like like like every day you know i double and go guy and daylight with daytime we go location night time we go stage so that's how we working in tv it's really really busy we work for 10 different stunt coordinators for the tv show so you are almost like you're not watching this so you work for other soul so that is to get my all my experience about why i work you know extendable all kinds but modern day stuff it's not that much then when i went to thought um mr nice guy and then i start seeing wow a different world you know it's much more what was the difference the scale is bigger the stun's bigger every stun is bigger you know they don't do that many camera trick so they want to see the stun so especially with that key so everything is very steady the camera is not like and not choppy you want to see everything you have to love multiple you know multiple fighters you know many many stunts i have a good coming so lucky i have no experience so i get into it because the timing is fine but then the rest the rest i need to learn and especially the way how he's shooting it's so different than the tv so i play as i learn mostly when i do um as special as a movie choreography or editing and all kind of camera world is so different you know tv is uh first basic you know and then that is get into oh start learning different lands you know wow why are they changing lands you know because in tv it's one zoom lens they don't change lenses just okay tight why soon just assume oh 35 so they're changing it and also especially him he he like to see the perfect treatment so he won't just put eyeshadow some sometimes the cameras the lens is tighter but you have to fit right into it so you're in the right spot so you're not you know off the head a low or high low so you have to be very precise where is he i don't know he killed a detective today where is he who got killed man 20 seconds okay so this is a yeah there's a funny thing here this is a bright island amazing okay let me know you see him because then and then this there's a whole tingling step this is me then i go i'm thinking that was you double in for ron there was it yeah that's right and but the leg everything without this is all me so so i'm back and forth with the different different wardrobe so i'm doing you know different part and then um yeah so he yeah he's a good skill but you know and this was his first film wasn't it so he actually learned how you got it and then because the rhythm you know and especially with jackie you know you have so we have the better timing with him because he'll be knowing him and then also he more trust and then if you've seen the behind the scenes uh who am i yeah but this is a fun thing here people see behind the scenes we see we have three different double with someone do one cake and then another guy do another cake and then we have a dummy dummy like to do another cake because the timing the human being can fast enough so we have using the real people and then we use dummy cake then you will never have enough time to go back for the second kick so that's why we're using the dummy kick the trust aspect is very important isn't it that you think well with who you're working with so that you can go 100 full speed and and not worry that you're going to hurt each other yeah absolutely that's why the rehearsal so so let's say this you know in hong kong style we're doing fine right we're on set with choreography at the same time so you don't have a prep time you don't you don't train the gory you learn there and then do it right there so that's what time for people don't know hong kong style people cannot do it if you don't have enough experience we suddenly choreography like well 20 moon you learn in two minutes and then now one camera shoot so yeah the people they do good fighting in hollywood you know they do freeman practicing right they do the same scene and do it day by day you know over and over again and then you train with the same people and then when we're doing that like ron is the day he come and come to put the wardrobe and go up there okay now with cory oh now we do this cake do this move what he's got to do and he has to perform it right there and then no practicing maybe he can practice you know a few times with with yourself the stunt guy and then he's got to do it with jackie yeah but that that but that also first of all you know you do it jackie is a lot of pressure you know and then jeff is so fast i've been there [Music] pressure no he's so he's so good and he his eye is really amazing you know his brain is crazy so he was doing the thing but he would feel the camera where the camera where's the heat what part we're missing this is one my experience one of the best experiences with him if you go back to in that fight is in that fight happening we're doing the fine scene at the one point um ron do the kick over jackie he duck and he's in the camera he dug but then you should couple days suddenly he's saying oh when i duck i need to turn back and give one more punch like something in here so add one more ball so he add on it because he feel this empty here you feel that the foreground has something missing so he's constantly doing the quite at the same time and already imagine the framing and then knowing which part or this may be something missing so that's interesting right he's that experience that you know it's it's enough to uh do a fight sequence and he can remember the choreography but he's also thinking exactly where the camera is he's thinking about how to show the technique to the best of the ability he's probably helping ron out because it's ron's first thing in terms of positioning and he's also thinking about directing at the same time because he direct the scene so so like and then he thinking editing porn says like it's amazing it's like you you're being able to multitask at an extreme level when you're you're like jackie chan he is a ticket chance so that's the only one i i i still that that moment i still never forget because i don't i i never reached one moment like this is the middle is [ __ ] thing feel that feel take and then suddenly he will feel oh this is something you need to fall down if not i just ducking and then the shot is boring so he's like the idea in the middle of the take and then executed the idea that's how quickly his mind was working yeah he executed that and then he's on it to make the stream make the make the framing better so this is one thing and also uh this the style you know he is he trusts everyone we are because we are so close i think this is something when when there's some team helping the author when you're doing with the people you can believe and trust you know so this is something uh i think uh he's really smart with this this is this is bright ellen yeah this is ellen yeah he got to do the fun frame yes yeah this oh this is wukong i think it looks like it was cold it's a cold yeah freezing cold this shot here when he kicks works really well but it looks like more of an american sort of angle you know it's a little bit tighter than what you might normally see it works brilliantly yeah but i was wondering when jackie was doing rush hour shanghai noon shanghai nights was he left to do the fights the way he chose or would some of the directors wanted some import or did they just say jackie this is what you do do your thing um let me see i mean watch out what you talking about what's your beginning i mean or uh a different you know the first one i remember when we do is uh we have a little uh he even him have a little uh hard time with the dp so you know like like he is brilliant right that the way we working with cory we also put camera we also already have editing so we knowing almost like exactly what how many frames you need how many what angle and angle so i think that as a first one we do watch our at the dp and then you know because the angle and size the lens or something so we have he have a little hard time until i remember we do the uh where the pool the [ __ ] at the pool house that day we went out the time the director started one at a time and then i think that moment because the scene haven't stopped shooting the fight scene yet so um jackie is not really like interested and he's not going to i have to do this so i did a little little bit kind of like a fighting and then end up like whereas the director say okay and the youtube uh uh techie you take over so he take over then we finish the scene because the way how we how he shoots it's funny you're talking about that scene because actually i've seen that that scene and i remember thinking um it didn't have the the it didn't yes it was jackie chan but it wasn't full jackie chan flavor there was something about it that was a little bit slower a little bit more western if you like it didn't have the zip and the power to it if you go back to that see the movie again there's a first few few parts when he come the very beginning he come up to the embassy and get the gun and then the the crew scene those scenes that moment it kind of like you try to sit back to let them do it yes until that moment he sees seeing how he keep doing this this movie will go a bit like that it's not going to be up to his standards he's got to put his foot down yeah yes so that's why i said the first week he very upset very very hard to communicate and try to respect everyone yeah but then he was like the protector all over again yeah he said almost like big ball protector you know those movie again because because we run out of time he knowing american production is like this you only have this schedule the two day finished finish whatever finished we won't give you another day shoot so he knowing if he don't fight for it we'll never get something good so after the first week i think then the pool scene is this first scene he start i have to do it and then when he did that the director said wow it's a bit different much faster much better so from that on you've only got a look at jackie chan's earlier movies but okay but they you know because these you know they're thinking there's the different way you know and then also the system is like this right so until that moment i remember since then everything we start taking over so we're planning we shoot and then uh everything on step we're running with the so and so so what we're doing so that stuff from there the whole movie going to death fast and that good is because he's on it for me it was great because obviously growing up watching jackie chan and seeing his hong kong movies and how and seeing the big brawl and cannibal run and protector and it not being you know the same as a jackie chan hong kong movie so for me to watch rush hour it was great to see that for the most part the fights were what we were used to with jackie chan um and of course that that was of course the way to do it and obviously that rush hour was a great success because of the partnership between him and chris tucker working very well in the comedy and ratner took care of that brilliantly but on top of that we got the jackie chan action that we were used to seeing and that we desperately wanted i mean there was a reason why rumble in the bronx was a smash success because you know that was a jackachand style that america wanted to see that one that one is really like like i said he's they put the foot on it and then everything from that one's good and then somehow totally control because the director will let all the action so we take over so so somehow and then watch out too of course it's good because brad's already with with us already very trust us so the chinese instant team has already take over the second and third one even third one i think brett allen is the coordinator so because we are yeah yeah so so that's the whole process is rush hour somehow in shanghai so we have all the fully controlled and then there's the so you can see the the different than the rest yeah let me ask you this then andy having worked in america and hollywood and hong kong movies what is your opinion on the you know the difference because for me when i go out and i make a chinese or hong kong movie having to learn the fights on the day is very stressful so in hollywood they'll rehearse the fights beforehand and you can arrive on the set ready to do the fight everybody knows what to do i mean what do you haven't worked on both sides which do you think is the best way to work i mean both is good you know i i won't say which ones are better but for action movie you know like you know if the actor like you you know the talent you know whatever who does that you have a background with the masawa or background action movie you know so then uh the hong kong style may be more uh organic you know because when sometimes you know like like i would say this why i think that's good because you don't know what happened until that moment so you could call it and then everything very organic and then so you you give you something very fresh when you have a another style you know like the prepping uh previous you know when you have it then you seem so so much already so your excitement oh you already knowing what what what will be come up because you already shoot the theories you already have editing you already knowing what is seen already well you don't think it's different then for action to fine-tune it to be really precise and to turn up on the day and think we know exactly what we need to do today we've already figured it out and we're going to get everything perfect you don't think there's any merit to that yeah i don't know i'm marrying both you know like i personally of course you know prepping you know you have so how do you can go to work now haven't done both ways do you prefer still the hong kong way or do you like a bit of the preparation that goes into it before with the hollywood way i think if you're doing a huge big stun you know of course you need a prepping you know big stun you know and but uh i i i do you know like i said i do both way you know i but um uh which way i would really like i don't i i will pick it you know if the production give me more time of course i would like the prepping you know the four months to prepping a little bit of course they're great but the organic one for me is i think they're kind of sometimes a bit more creative on the day keep the juices flowing yeah yeah because it makes you you know you you have to think much you know like i think that the time will push you so is this all like the reaction you know how you react the location how you ever the props how do you react with everything okay i tell you the story of how how different ever missing that like i said i missed that because okay you miss the night sky uh remember the construction side scene the scene some american movie they they almost copied it right it's you know painting the whole you know the leather and all kind of thing yeah they almost copy it right or you know whatever they call so this kind of like look at that oh that's the same very similar but in mr nice guy that sequence i tell you the one of the best experience too till today never happened we're there sleeping three days we wept three days before we should so we went the day one right the construction you know no window no nothing so when the night time ringing or the the moisture and the fall is wet at the morning so we had to go there clean up all the puddles the water and then we dry the fall and then we make the set dry and then waiting for jackie ready so he he go put the water and then he's sit there thinking but when he thinking sometimes he falls asleep so he sleeps and then we just dry the phone waiting for him wake up and then we start shooting right day one we tried the fall the whole morning almost to lunch he wake up it's about lunch time yeah okay lunchtime so lunch everyone lunch so we don't do anything not even put the camera out yet and after lunch you go back and sing again no idea okay well we wrap day one right now didn't do anything just a bit of sweeping didn't do anything we're just sweeping and then we're using the fire fire torture and dry the fall i remember everyone and everyone just try to fall and get ready for okay day one if you're in the family you have to do more than fights you have a lot of jobs to do including including puddle removals and dryness everything you need to prepping everything right so we do it day two same thing we go there try the pho do the routine try the foil waiting for him wake up and wait waiting for him to get idea same thing lunch time okay let's lunge okay let's wait day two waffles again why day three we do the same routine he's sleeping wake up and then lunchtime oh no i got idea let's shoot wow the middle of the day and suddenly okay i know the whole sequence just like this and okay do this do the whole i need the i need to unbelievable we have two and halfway opening the floodgates and all the ideas starting to pour out yeah he don't have the whole thing in the hair he don't do it he's just this how about this guy how about so this is my experience i never have a project production you don't working and they call rap correct and then until he got the idea so then when you see the sequence it's very interesting right oh he's okay how about this this guy got the thing and then the zip tie his finger and then no no no no no funny and then put ellen in the spinning thing yeah everything around yeah everything just there yeah and that's that's the genius of jackie chan isn't it i mean coming up with those sequences it's not just about kick punch block it's so expensive with all the props and everything it's all awkward at the moment you know when he looking all around and starting okay what can do can i do that something with the uh the fire hole can i do you know the pilot with the wood you know what you can do and how i do this machine it's like everything just because we're just watching you you know like wow how do you come up with this all kind of thing which are helping you know where we come up with the idea but yeah the general idea is all him i'm really glad you've explained it like that because actually i've always struggled to think why not just do it the other way but now that you've said that we've had this conversation i actually understand much more the thinking behind it and how it can make you much more creative so thank you for that andy that's a great you worked with a very dear friend of mine director isaac florentine on u.s seals 2. can you tell us a little bit about this experience working with isaac and dan southworth okay there's dan yeah oh that's me haha okay it's quick it's good you know i mean isaac is an amazing director very nice very gentle and this is the you know he very nice very trust me he gave me this opportunity as the director you know and and all the scene you know he he had me all freedom you know i have all the creativity you know um and even the character i put in my character i tell him oh i can play one character like this you know i got my bone here you know i pay my scar you know so i'm picking my weapon so i say okay we're gonna have a scarf you know all the thing and then and this is also it's a special feat with uh uh dan when he do he with the chain yeah that stunt there that dan did is beautiful yeah that's it so but this is you know like i i like this you know i think uh uh isaac's just really amazing and give me this opportunity but i i wish i had more more more uh experience at the moment i can see your takondo routes there bang bang yeah that's right it's very hard for for when you are directing and acting at the same time i feel so tired when i do in that moment i do the stun right i fall into the ground you know in one side you look at the more maybe do one better one the higher the better harder and kick the face the harder but another sign says oh [ __ ] i'll do it to myself very high standard but then you request yourself and then you have to you know you have to do it you need to think about the shots yet you're still asking him to kick you in the face it's so totally full on muzzle art movie you know so for anyone that hasn't seen it check it out because yeah it's it's very charming movie but the fights they're off the hook i mean this is the one that i'm so far still very proud of this job one of one of the great scene you know this is amazing and then um the idea you know is good you know i i mean uh when i work on it is that marco zuro yeah then michael yeah and uh only rice junior yeah yeah only you know so all the all those uh this is the idea when when i read the script i remember uh i preached them you know when they say the wobble and get him they got they they captured him and i said can i have all the little little guy like a kind of like i want to be the small guy the whole business so i i hire everyone is like five foot tall so everyone is a small guy and then um and then i say i have the leader as ernie so i i give um the director his choice about ernie and ernie's really good talent you know this this boy is really good you know here martial arts great muscle up you know skill yeah and the rock very amazing the rock is one thing is really really good is it choreography he memory is really really good so he he will learn all the choreography a sp second very what good love about this show is the the violence it really didn't skimp on violence i mean it's really great to watch i love a bit of violence me i i i'm very happy with this result too this is i like the the end shot the cigarette the sodo oh yeah you know the channel in the wall you know chop the guy in two pieces and then uh so that yeah see hong kong action and like an american tv show do you know what i mean yeah very hard you know this is uh one of the cool things this show you know they really give us as a a hong kong team or action team and then second uni you know i i have fully uh support you know as especially at the dust season when i do the dust season we have you know a lot more day when you're doing a tv show you could say you have six day or eight day for one episode maybe an action unit maybe two day of maximum maybe four days we have whatever nine days for one episode we're 97 so every episode is the same time with drama union so so i i have a lot and it shows because the action in that show is top notch i've got one question for you yeah filming this in ireland right yes so where the hell would my phone call i'm sitting over i'm just a few hours of just an hour away i i should have been into the badlands right come on you had the big staff what are you talking about i was would love to have been in that show i thought that show was great you know what don't forget the next time you should call daniel wu should have given me a call for that all right all right that would be that'll be really fun you know it's like you know it's surprising you know i thought i thought the show did really well you know uh you know especially you know the action you know i mean the scale the production everything is it's top on on the tv show you know i i i'm so a little disappointed you know we not gonna pick up the season four so ideally we have season four you know and and and already originally we already planned to go for season four i thought we were going back and then and then the season for even more better idea so amazing yeah it's greatest ideas the season four but then um it's somehow i don't know amc or whatever reason or rating c uh uh also as a budget you know i i i know it's but you know you're spending too much time and money on the action yeah that's one of the reasons you know they want to cut down it but then um so we're not thinking you know that's kind of the the the show is because the action so kind of like the battle about those things you know without the time it's not it's not even the money is it time without the time to shoot you how you can be at this kind of level i mean i'm sure you've had to do some pretty hair raising stunts in your time are there any like stunts or incidents that stick out in your mind that were pretty pretty crazy i mean you see washout two remember we did we did fighting and the big job the big big bow and then we're doing the fighting on the on the back of the tail and then when we do the choreography you know you know our style is not we have like prep penguins shoot the prepping we don't we don't do previous which we have this scene and okay now i play four guy so we choreography and then shoot at the same time so we don't we don't know what we're doing when we go there and we start choreographing so that night before when we go there first thing jackie say okay what are we doing in the fight scene what we should do and then he suddenly come up the idea okay how about a fire and then someone fall into the water then i i i right away say yeah we can fall into the water but we did the stun before this fight scene when the bad guys are referring to it i said if you want to find to do what to we need to make a difference right i tell him maybe maybe two guys maybe all four guys so he said okay two guys so how about two guys so then we start choreographing and the son is that he kicked one guy and this guy jumped into this guy and then they both like this and this guy arch fat and this guy lean on it and then they both fall into the water at the same time yeah so i doubling i as the guy kicked him so i don't these two guys not me but i want to do the sunflower into the water when the boat is still moving the boats never stop shut down the engine the boat keep moving so i want to do one of them so the two of them one is the korean uh stunt man his name is the mong cha-cha so so he is the one to do the one bad word and he said he's so scared he said i'm not good with swimming we're doing this scene falling to the water in the midnight four o'clock so with no safety diver no safety we just fold the water and get out in midnight in the ocean and the boat is not is this in america no in hong kong oh it's in hong kong that's why you can do it that's why we don't have we don't have a safety we don't have anything no safety remember we say the whole corner of you will come up at that moment yeah so and then something before underwater okay so then he moonchat kind of like i'm not good swimming and also earlier when i do the fight i hit my time he said my leg is a little sore i said okay don't worry i doubt for you so i want to do it so i changing i'm doing a fight and then i double him to do the fall so so very easy so oh so nikki is on top of me licking me so he hit me i do the i do the band and then and then he fall over me and then i fall for the water like crazy 10 seconds later wow so much fun [Music] easy what fun and crazy underwater

oh big deal we go changing the the red shirt you know we need to dry one and then dry the hair and okay take two now midnight four o'clock middle ocean the boat stopped moving okay take two whoa camera will start doing the same stun before that and then brad ranner the director come to me one one one here hey hold on hold on and then end the ending can you do this this time when nikki from you don't fall at the same time with him he found you he fall over you but you are doing the lumbar dance like after the bat yeah as long as you can before you fall into the water okay so first guy then you once again yeah he over me he fired over and then i am situated i think ah like funny so i asked bad so okay no problem is it easy so boom he fly over me and i actually actually pump i fall into the water and then in 10 seconds you know like like it's crazy right let's see once about 10 seconds i think i should i should pop out but i still underwater right boom i hit my head i hit my head and i said no no way i can hit something i hit something i hit the ball so i'm under the ball i'm dying because i'm thinking i'm going through the ball you've got trapped under the under the currents of the boats and you've hit the boat with your head yes because i asked so much i hatched back into where i supposed to pull the heat yeah and then i hit the side of the boat yeah but i thought that moment i don't know i'm inside the boat or whatever but i can now you know after so many years you know try to make a logic how i was trapped in there so i hit it and i just keep spinning like a bad like a bad fit i keep bad feet perfect i hit my head i hit my hand i hit my head i try to grab something i cannot grab anything because so snippy you know the the the wall is like all the moist it's so slippery no i'm saying that yeah you can't get a grip yeah you kind of grip and i just keep spinning and then i hold my breath and then i can i don't even open my eye because it's the midline it's red everything's black so i just close eye and hold my back and i hold on and then i start talking to myself so i started talking to myself i said anti-chain nd chain i said this is not fun anymore this stun supposes his name right this is supposed to charge are doing so i i said this is not fun then i start telling myself okay come on come down it'll be okay because i know i'm panicking i will die i said it's okay because i'm thinking about the first a thing so if i'm drunk if people find me i say when the boat stop i know all my brother will jump down and save me and then maybe first aid or something something they can save me so i start after i say this is not fun anymore and now okay okay come down come down hold my breath so i start holding and then i still spinning still spinning you think of the whole time i'm doing like a washing machine spinning spinning i still hitting the wall i never let i touch in the wall like this so i say okay i can't hold anymore so i start drinking water i start suck all the water i can see my eye remember i said i never opened the eye because it's so too dark right but i see inside my eye i see that my my purple my eye my eyeball like it's like a shark like a shorter like an amateur you know the shorter coast coast coast coast it's coastline really like a little needle hole this and i say i'm dying so i give up so the eyes start closing the shutter start closing i pass out i'm ready to pass up boom someone brought me here and we will never forget he grabbed me here but you know because i have this shirt you know orga i think don't slap you clearly slip because of water everything if we sleep i'm dying i'm no air ostrich so crap and then i grab his hand and hopefully not let go and lucky that is jackie but people people don't know jackie's hand is huge saving you yes it's his hand is other people maybe cannot even grab this you think about my arm so big he cannot his hand is so big lucky he grabbed it and pulled and he fight with the wave to pull me out and he said because the first lucky is jackie chan second lucky is when everyone looking outside the boat like 400 yards sorry 200 feet 400 feet they keep thinking to be out around further not here's why he said somehow he feels something wrong he looked down he see the edge of the bow and he see my jacket like oh he's here so he lie down and the third thing they're lucky is the bow is a huge big big bow it's the longer ball if we have oh underwater oh he's down there if a 10 foot high nobody would jump into a save me it's so dangerous the boat's still moving the mother's still like this you have to wait like 10 minutes to quiet down if so lucky the ball is not 10 feet high the boat like a three foot high because the for the jet ski the jet ski pepper so very low so he lie down he low down lie down himself into the edge to the boat and then reach out and grab me out he want to load you know the uh the big yeah they have a jet ski platform for the jet ski he has the jet ski platform for that boat if that boat no jet ski platform he cannot save me it's too far he won't jump down there to save me because the turkey puffer so he go down to the jet ski platform lie down himself and grab but then i pull him in because the weight i spinning i pulled him in and then all the stunt guy grabbed his foot that was late and holding him back and kind of like the movie you know he fall over saying to the rescue looking after their brothers the turn of the propeller or something at the back of the boat the lucky there's a hundred sixty a hundred sixty foot the two bobella of jessie is inside the bowl like like one quarter inside it's not at vegetable so so lucky that but i thought i would go into the babella and i would i would die yeah so but then he pulled me out and then oh and then suddenly all the people gone there there were like 300 people in the boat they all hiding because they thought this guy died they thought i'm dying so everyone think i'm dying because so panicking that moment in the mid light so everyone's go go go no nothing so jackie lucky if a llama actor the son people will say okay you should you should let us handle it but because him there because he see me and then because he's big hand yeah that's why i lie so you you were a fan of police story as a kid and then you've had your own police story moment with jackie actually saving you yes right he really saved me but then the funny thought the [ __ ] story is like this so the ball people gone and then now we ride the bow riding back to the ferry we go back to the saw and then we're going back on the way back and then i have to go change all my wet shirt right so i'm going inside the water the room head the boat inside have a small room for water so i go changing my uncles and then my brother holding me his name a woo gong remember wukong yeah you know the jackie chan stunt team now he's a big time in china he's indirect he is the one though the night before he fought the doubling he know he said he holding me he's soon he's so nervous he said his hands shaking he said ah i know there's something wrong i know this stuff is so dangerous i know i know then i then i start changing my code and then suddenly nice i start laughing i smile i laughing and he said why are you laughing and it's like you know after you you crazy you said you almost died are you laughing and i said that's so funny i said well funny is that funny his tear down you know he's so in motion right then when everyone's still panicking and i say no because when remember what i'm saying earlier i say anti-chain nd chain that's this is not fun anymore this is supposed monk charts are doing so i'm thinking about why i would talk to myself the whole time in english then i started laughing because why i always speak english i supposed to speak chinese so you don't say that i'm thinking about what entity so i'm trying to you know recall what i'm doing underwater how i felt myself come down when the ghost stopped they will come to save me so i'm the whole time i talk to myself is in english thanks very much for sharing your stories with us
