No Jin Ke, Highlander:Endgame? Thats where i first saw Donnie
Il est vraiment impressionnant cet acteur.
This dude did one American movie blade 2 run away n never came back tell his 50s n he still cant have a American lead role n u still compare him to Jackie n jet put respect on them two names
Donnie Yen: I could have been blind
John Wick 4 Movie: What did u just say ?
its weird to hear him speak english since all the movies ive seen him in have been asain titles
Chinese directors: Dukala dukala dukala… American directors (lately): not woke enough…
Wow! Donnie can really speak English fluently
Donnie you are the best of the best of the best!!!
I wish they would have talked about Iron Monkey.
14:19 – "I could've been blind" then in Rogue One and John Wick 4….
Donny Yen, Scott Adkins, Wu Jing, and Sammy Hong ate my all time favorite actors.
I like the interview..I like Donnie even more now
I can say for sure that prop swords can definitely hurt one very badly.
I knew there was a fundamental reason certain action scenes just look better.
he is only 60 I am 57 and quite active and trying to be more active
Hes not blind
Rogue one is my fave Star Wars movie and I have seen every piece of star wars media. Donnie absolutely was my fave character.
Such a thoughtful and mindful human being.
Would love to see him and Tony Jaa in one movie
what a bloke 👍❤
Who does not love Donnie Yen?!
This is so heavily edited that makes me feel that he never said what he says.
Iron monkey was one of my favorite Donnie Yen movies of all time.
Sakra is an awful movie, it has 5.8 on IMDB out of 10….
I loved how excited Donnie is when he was talking about working with jet li and the director Y. W. Ping once upon a time in China 2! I guess he must having so much fun working with friends and family!

Legend!
Donnie yen represents Asian men well. But still is a martial artist, they will never portray Asians as a Don Juan in an American movie. This shows western xenophobia
They forgot to talk about Iron Monkey!
Let’s just say that he is one with the force
Legend 🙏🙌
I'm disappointed that actual action movies like Dragon Tiger Gate isn't here, but I get that it's about "iconic" characters. Or characters that are more well known in the mainstream media.
Blind Star War
Still blind in John Wick 4
Donnie Yen for Blind Character
bro broke tysons fingers XD
i am still praying for the Sleeping Dogs movie
Kindof upsetting yall didn't start with Hero
I didn't think I could possibly like this guy any more, but I do.
I love Donnie Yen. Basically, “If Mike Tyson knocks me out, cool whatever. But I need to finish this movie on schedule 😂”
His English 😮
WTF is audio
Genius. Big fan
What a great actor
Donnie is a great mix of brains & brawn
He is anti-Hong Kong and anti democracy. Disliked by many.
Youre a legend Donnie.
What a badass of an actor.
Donnie Yen is so great at English…
