However, after more than 30 years, Jet Li expressed regret for shooting "Shaolin Temple". What was the reason? Jet Li said in an interview: I was very happy to finish filming "Shaolin Temple", but when I was 30 years old, I I often blame myself, because many viewers, especially younger viewers, even cut their hair to practice martial arts after watching this movie.
