While Keanu Reeves had already been an action star (Speed anyone?) before The Matrix, it was that leather-bound blockbuster that turned him into a bona fide practitioner of skop, skiet en donner. Somebody who assisted with all his skopping, skieting and donnering was martial artist and stuntman Tiger Chen, and the pair have now teamed up for kick-ass kung fu flick Man of Tai …

Normally, when an actor decides to get behind a camera and direct for once, that forst flick is a drama. Because nothing spell credibility in Hollywood like snot ‘en trane.
