"What was it like shooting with Keanu Reeves? That was a great fight you both had in the Tea House."Collin Chou: Yuen wo-ping did a great job on the fights, along with his team. I was very impressed with Keanu Reeves' work attitude. He only trained for half a year to prepare for his part in the Matrix sequels. From watching the movies, you can see that he has attained such skills that are equal to many martial artist who have been training since childhood. You can imagine if Keanu had started his martial arts training when he was a child, his abilities would surpass many of the martial artists of today.

Posted by: Keanuette on January 22, 2004 11:45 AMI love the Tea House scene!! I could watch it over and over. It ends with the most delicious delivery of a line in the world! "You could've just asked..." Oh, yeah!

Posted by: Niobe on January 22, 2004 01:36 PMIt was my favorite scene--until I saw the Chateau fight, which is now my favorite fight/dance (because you know it is...) scene. Great interview! I'd love to see a film/anime about Seraph...hint, hint...
