Jet Li is now returning to his kung-fu roots in the first-ever Chinese 3-D kung-fu film, "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".
Li says shooting the movie has been exciting for him.
"I have been shooting movies for over 30 years but I have never acted in a 3-D movie. I don't know if I can still play kung fu if director Tsui Hark asks me to act in a 3-D kung-fu movie ten years later, so I am lucky to have this opportunity and I am happy to join Tsui for this movie."

Being the first-ever Chinese 3-D kung-fu film, "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is inspired by the 1992 martial-arts film "Dragon Inn", which revolves around a face-off between an imperial agent and warrior couple in a desert inn.
Director Tsui Hark says he believes the 3-D technology adds a lot to his story-telling.
"The visual effect is an important part of story-telling for a movie, so the 3-D technology brings us more power to tell the stories, and this is totally different from two-dimensional era."
The 35-million-dollar production is slated to hit movie theaters later this year.
