The Tsui Hark directed, Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit), Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Kwai Lun-Mei, Chris Lee Yuchun, Mavis Fan Hiu Huen starred 3D wuxia film FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE (LUNG MOON FEI GAP) will be released this Christmas. For the first wuxia film Zhou Xun and Chen Kun suffered during the shoot. Even the king of kung fu Lee Nin Kit succumbed to the 3D wuxia film special effects and complained that it was the most memorable martial art action experience in his career.
Lee Nin Kit said, "With previous film productions, people who have acted for years like us only had to stab in the general direction of the camera once and it's OK. For 3D productions, the target is a small circle. As long as it's a little off, the effect has no way to appear. In the past the scene would only take one stab, now it has to take a dozen or so times because the difficulty has increased."
Zhou Xun also suffered. Not only did she have to handle highly difficult stunts but also suffered from the weather; from the coldest October she froze until January. Over the four months she could only wear flimsy costumes. On the screen she was a mighty heroine, off the screen she was an ailing beauty who was the only one who knew her pain. Chen Kun in the film had many fights, one of which required him to dive from 30 feet above. At the same time for camera accuracy, Chen Kun dove over 30 times for one shot.
