“He was going full speed”: $128M Jackie Chan Movie Almost Killed Disney Actress Until Jet Li Saved Her from Certain Death

Jet Li and Liu Yifei have worked together even before they got a chance to work side by side in Mulan and it just so happened to be a movie that had Jackie Chan in it. There was a lot that the actress had to go through while filming the movie and had it not been for Li, she could have easily died.

Sometimes stunts can get so difficult that they can risk the actors’ lives. It is not as rare to see actors getting hurt because of some stunts that didn’t go as they would have hoped for. However, one particular incident had Liu Yifei’s life flashing before her eyes. Although now the actress has been exposed to a larger audience, her entire experience of the movie world has changed. Thanks to Jet Li, she was able to shoot it, because, in the end, he saved her life.

Jet Li Saved Liu Yifei’s Life In Jackie Chan’s Movie

Liu Yifei has been seen riding horses all throughout the shooting of Mulan. However, that very task almost took her life. While filming The Forbidden Kingdom with Jet Li and Jackie Chan, they had an accident that barely saw her escaping death.

“I still remember we had to ride a horse full speed in a line and there was a truck in front of us to [film the sequence]. It was really fast. Somehow, I couldn’t stop the horse. Even though he was going full speed, he was trying to stop my horse, because this was in a very narrow mountain road.”

As she was riding a horse, the actress was going really fast and could not stop the horse no matter how much she tried. Ahead of her was a narrow mountain road with nowhere else to go and she could see her life flashing before her. However, Jet Li managed to make it right in time to stop her horse.
