Interesting that people talk about 'Riggs' and 'Bourne' and 'McClane', as if the characters had become bigger than the actors - but when they talk about Li - it's about the actor. Might that be because Li has become so daunting that even movie characters would rather sh!t themselves than risk getting into a fight with him? 😉
