With a career that has taken her all over the globe, Celina Jade will be at Cannes this year, announcing an upcoming movie project and serving as ambassador to the new China-Euro Women in Film Festival. When director Wu Jing asked Jade to star in the 2008 “Legendary Assassin,” she professed to be unqualified but acquiesced. The film was a hit and launched her career. After starring on The CW’s “Arrow,” she reunited with Wu for 2017’s “Wolf Warrior 2,” which scored $870 million at the box office.
What attracted you to “Wolf Warrior 2?”
I’ve been with my manager for almost 10 years and very early on I said: “If Wu Jing ever calls me to be involved in one of his projects, I’m there.” I’m grateful to him for my entire career. Wu Jing called me up one day about the sequel, asking: “Can you fly tonight to be my leading lady?...

When it comes to making features like this one, i love the idea of coming up with my own personal “100 Great Kung Fu Movies” of all time. It is tough choosing just 100 because you know there are many more great Kung Fu movies that are not on the list.
I have decided that to make the list, a movie must have a few hand to hand moments during fight scenes in the movies chosen. If for example its mainly sword play with one fight scene hand to hand it won’t make the list. Its old school “style” Kung Fu movies, not modern day settings.
I understand everyone will have their own personal favorites and some may not agree with my list and that’s fine because it’s nice to have different opinions on this genre which keeps it fresh and alive when having good debates.
Anyway, thank you...

Not only is this Arrow star badass on the TV screen, but she can also shut it down in a bikini. Celina Jade flaunts her amazing figure in a tiny two-piece for the March issue of Maxim, and along with making her fans drool with her sex appeal, she also offered some fun facts to get to know her a little bit better. The Hong Kong native shared that her go-to drink is a "Glenlivet 18 straight," and told the mag that the worst pickup line she's ever heard is, "How do you like your eggs in the morning: scrambled or fertilized?" Jade's favorite line from a movie is, "'Take them to the graveyard, and then maybe they'll change their minds,' by Roy Horan in Game...

CW’s Arrow comes roaring back for season two on October 9th at 8pm. Last season, we met the two halves of Oliver Queen’s life: the citizens of Starling City and the mysterious island guests who played a role in creating the Arrow. None did more so than Shado (Celina Jade), daughter of Oliver’s first mentor Yao Fei. Audiences figured out fast that Shado, a Chinese lawyer, isn’t your typical damsel. A master archer and skilled fighter, Shado plays a direct role in honing Oliver’s skills while they work together to leave the island. Even more intriguing, Shado and Oliver share the same dragon tattoo. In season two, fans will learn more about the martial arts maven Shado and who she is to Oliver.
Celina Jade isn’t new to the action scene. Born in Hong Kong, Celina’s father is American Kung Fu star Roy Horan.

In the mid-eighties Ng See Yuen’s ‘Seasonal Films’ company decided it might be a good idea to try their hand at making films with more international appeal, initially inspired by the success of a certain Hollywood martial arts movie.
But unlike previous attempts at international productions by the likes of Golden Harvest and other studios, where the main goal was to introduce a home grown star to the west, Seasonal’s aim was to make movies with a combination of American actors in front of the camera, with a mostly Asian crew working behind the scenes, putting together the kind of action that Hong Kong does so well.
Their first attempt, ‘No Retreat, No Surrender‘ was released in 1986...A film which would eventually spawn two sequels.
“Tonight, he either fights for his life, or he’ll be running for the rest of it.”
