"Play your cards right, you live to talk about it."
-Thunder
Great interview with a legend.
My favorite line besides, "I can help you".
That ending!!! He didn't just say it, but went above and beyond to reenact the scene🤣🤣🤣 LEGENDARY
What a cool guy. He seems so well traveled. Very fortunate.
That was absolutely fantastic! What a legend, and superb interview Jessie. Great great ending! LOL
I cannot believe he is 74!
And still can beat the crap out ....
He looks damn terrific at 74!
Where is he 74?!?!?! He looks great!!!! He wasn't kidding about Kung Fu keeping you healthy 😅
He looks as tough as Clint Eastwood.
Big trouble in Little China IS MY FAV because of him
😂😂😂 play your cards right, you'll live to talk about it 🚪 😆😆 bruuuuuh
@@pierregagnon2666 hahaha... What was the website that had all the quotes playing repetitiously, "yo dog that's my???" Don't know what happened to that site, but was a lot of funny quotes from Big Trouble!
I have come to know Carter Wong more recently watching the old movies from the Wu Tang channel and streaming and he became a big star in his own films in his own right. Great to see he is still around, a legend.
Jessie, you were so eloquent and well prepared, wow! Such a professional interview. Compliments to sound and camera shots too. I cannot say enough compliments. You deserve all the admiration and success, wishing you both. HaHa! The end was classic, still laughing 🤣
I love these mando-canto conversations.
V impressed by Jessie's Cantonese comprehension ability.
Better than yours banana
Wow, what a personality. He seems both humble and assure of himself. Love this interview, and the good relations between Mr. Wong and Carpenter was lovely!
nice interview jessie and thanks for being able to get an interview with him . as a african american growing up in the 80's and 90's i've always had a high respect for martial arts and asian culture as do millions of other african americas . btilc is 1 of my favorite movies of all time and when thunder blew himself up in was the funniest things i've ever saw 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
The ending was hilarious :D
OMG 笑死我了
So true! I love the show closing of the door.
Carter Wong is a legend I remember first seeing him in another American martial arts film called Tiger Claws 3, and then finding out he had a long career in the Hong Kong film industry in the 70s....my all time favourite film of his is Born Invincible in which he plays a villain who utterly destroys the entire group combatants at a Kung Fu school and every potential protagonist that attempts to take him down, that movie is epic.....fun fact, Raiden from Mortal Kombat is inspired by Thunder from Big Trouble in Little China
Raiden was inspired by Lightning, not Thunder. But Carter Wong is still a badass and James Pax is a bitch
"Play your cards right, you live to talk about it!". Hilarious and interesting ending. Great interview! 👍
Great interview! Congratulations! I grew up in the 1970’s and loved watching Kung-Fu movies on Saturday afternoons. Carter Wong, and many other actors in Big Trouble in Little China, stared in those movies. He is so kind an humble. His students are very honored to have him as their instructor.
Fantastic Interview. He’s so enthusiastic about it.
Congrats on interviewing such a big name! Your work is getting more ambitious and you're doing great! 加油！
Thank you David!
@Chinese with Jessie are u a martial arts fan?who are ur favorites? Would u interview if can get donnie yen,Jackie Chan and other's?
💪💡👌 If the mind is a garden, history is the rain, innovations are the fruits!
Big Trouble in Little China is one of my all time favorite movies. As a kid I always thought Thunder was super bad ass. Awesome to hear mr Wong's thoughts on being part of such a great film. And also, everyone who speaks about John Carpenter always says he's a really nice guy.
For me, he made Big Trouble even better for having been in it. I was absolutely fascinated with all his scenes. I wish him health and happiness.
I love him. Such an honor.
Wonderful interview! Glad to see Sifu Carter is still so enthusiastic & full of life! I love how he would start answering you in Mandarin & then he would revert to his more natural Cantonese! Would love to hear you analyze his mandarin and if you fully understood his style of mandarin being that he is from Macao/HK. Did Jessie understand Carter fully when he spoke Cantonese?
Thanks! Carter Wong's Mandarin is really fluent, he felt more comfortable speaking Cantonese though. My Cantonese listening is probably like my English listening, there might be a few new words I don't understand but I get the idea. Too bad I'm not fully fluent in Cantonese yet but I've been learning, hope I can do it in fully Cantonese next time!
You were terrific !!! Very smart young lady !!@@ChinesewithJessie
Best ending to an interview, all time.
That was wonderful. Thank you for sharing. And, for a 74 year old, Mr Wong is still in ridiculously great shape. Still doing up to 2 hours exercise per day!
Simply delightful!!! Despite the racial criticisms of Big Trouble in Little China, I keep hearing a lot of praise from the Chinese and Chinese-American actors and crew as something that was both a big opportunity and something special as a Hollywood project for many of the reasons as the esteemed Carter Wong listed.
Congrats on getting to interview him Jessie! This was such a professional, educational, and fun interview and I learned a lot :)
You made 20 minutes seem like five. Thank you for a really good interview.
Great scoop, Carter Wong is a real martial arts treasure!
OMG, that last scene had me laughing in bed! 😂😂😂 Thank you for the re-enactment! 👍🏽👍🏽
The size of those traps and shoulders in the 86 world champion photo! To move like he can with that amount of muscle mass is no joke.
Your interview with the legendary Carter Wong was amazing! You put a nostalgic smile on my face, and hoping for a Big Trouble In Little China 2 cast reunion as well! 🤩
Bravo on the fun interview and to a healthy Carter Wong as well!
Maybe a Little Trouble in Big China?
That was an epic interview with a martial arts legend, thanks so much for such an interesting video.
Jessie thank you for a great interview my favorite movie of my childhood, I wish I can see him in a convention.
He's so calming to listen to. So wise
Loved this interview. Thank you for interviewing Mr. Wong and thank him for agreeing for being interviewed.
Great interview! I'd love to see more of these but Carter Wong is the bomb!
OMG this was awesome. What a great interview, so interesting. I loved this movie growing up.
Love this film and each and every character, growing up in the 80s as a african american this movie was a grail. So much too like and love, still in my top 5. Back when there was true adventure and mystery in the world. Thank you Mr.Wong. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
Can't believe I missed this interview for over a year. So epic. And the ending made my day as well. 😂
"Big Trouble in Little China" is one of my favorite movies. It has aged well and I still watch it every now and then. Cult classic for sure. Top 10 of the genre, ALL TIME! I wore out the VHS tape years ago, but bought a DVD when it came out on DVD.
The whole movies was well acted, funny, good action scenes and great affects.
Enjoyed this interview, I subscribed and set notifications. I am going to watch it again tonight 4-24-2023!
Swooon! He's so awesome!
This is a brilliant interview. What a nice man. I'd love to meet him.
This is an EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!! Thank you both. One of my favorite movies for over 30 years!!!
Cant believe they didn't discuss BORN INVINCIBLE !!!! - Love carter wong!!
Eyyyy it's Carter Wong 😃 I used to watch his movies when I was like 10 way back the early 90s. A local station aired nothing but Chinese movies on its afternoon time slot and a good number of those are 18 Bronzemen movies, Shaolin Traitor, Hapkido, Dragon's Claws, or Sleeping Secret. It's amazing to see the Master still so full of life in his late middle age.
I remember he was also in the Shaw Bros movie from HK called Marco Polo
I love this guy and he speaks the truth. When i was 6 old back in 1980 , my schoolmates in Austria were already impressed by Bruce Lees movies. I gues got less bullied because of him.
Yes. I used to think "representation" is corny and doesn't matter but I learned that in this world it matters profoundly in hard to imagine ways. It seeps into every fabric of the experience as any ethnicity. I truly appreciate people like Bruce Lee(I still think they killed him and his son on purpose for having a white wife)
What a treat! I grew up watching Big Trouble in Little China and it has been one of my favorites! Wonderful interview and he seems like a lovely man!
Just finished watching Big trouble in little china and rushed to youtube to see more of the actors and characters.. So glad I found this interview... really inspiring! And the movie is even more amazing after this interview. Thanks for sharing!
What a superb interview, Big Trouble In Little China is one of my favorite movies. Carter Wong is a badass, even know you can tell he'd kick your ass
This was amazing, thank you. The ending was a great touch.
Thanks for conducting such an excellent interview, and thanks to Carter Wong for being so gracious and generous. Big Trouble is one of my favorite movies. What a wonderful treat it was to see this interview.
Wow what an awesome interview with the legend Carter Wong! I watched this movie so many times!
Oh wow! I freakin' love this. Always been a big fan of Mr. Carter Wong's films ever since the 80'. So glad he is still doing well. Big fan here and much love from the US. The re-enactment was so fantastic. Thank you for the interview Mr. Wong and you did great Jessie. You got a new subscriber here.
WHOA. Thank you so much for doing this interview!
Thank you for the interview! I watched so many Carter Wong films growing up. It’s great to see him doing fine all these years. I wish I had the chance to ask him about my favorite Carter Wong film, “Born Invincible” and his experience working with Taiwanese director Joseph Kuo. Would love to see another interview! Thanks again!
Finally someone mentions it! I was thinking I'm the only one...Born Invincible was a classic! And even his films with Angela Mao like The Legendary Strike, The Tournament and Hapkido
So excited for this!
Awesome. Thanks for all the work writing subtitles!
Thanks for doing this great interview with Carter! Absolutely love this movie from a young age. I believe I was about 9 years old when it was shown on television, sometime back in 1992 or 1993. It is still my favourite movie to this day. Great mix of so many genres rolled into one!
THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Stupendous job!!! Great interview and great outro. That's the first time I've heard that much behind the scenes info from Big Trouble in Little China.
My greetings and thanks to Carter Wong from Russia!
Wooow, what a great, great interview. I saw this movie near 30 years ago, now I'm close 40 and still enjoy watching it and Thunder was my favourite character!!! Thank you Jessie for this interview!!!👏👏👏👏👏
thank you so much for doing this interview! loved how honest he was and how he said he did NOT experience any racism. and thank you for having him do the line from the movie! great stuff!
Amazing interview! Great content, I'm glad he's still doing well. Thank you Jessie
Such a cool interview. So you spoke in Mandarin and Wong Sifu responded in Cantonese? 很有意思！ Wong Sifu looks great.
Big Trouble In Little China is my all time favorite movie. Stoked that this guy is still out there being awesome.
Also you should totally watch Dragons Forever with Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. Excellent movie.
This made me so happy. I have enjoyed “Big Trouble In Little China” since I was a kid. It’s a special movie to me, because it takes me back to my childhood years every time I watch it. This was a great interview! You did so well!! 👏👏👏Carter Wong is a legend! I loved hearing him talk about his experiences. I have heard a lot of positive stories from the cast and crew of Big Trouble In Little China. James Hong in particular speaks very fondly of his time on the film. It seems like everyone put their heart into making that movie. The fact that the movie has such a dedicated fan base to this day is a great testament to everyone’s efforts.
many blessings Carter Wong, you are a superb martial artist and actor.
Great video. Carter is so humble. Really enjoyed the back stories that he could share.
He is amazing love this man he's one of my movie heros
All of Asian American & Asian ancestry/descent actors have always been sooo under rated
Jessie hizo una gran entrevista y el Sr. Wong demostró ser un gran profesional pero con la humildad y sencillez de un verdadero maestro.¡ Felicitaciones a ambos!.
Wonderfully informative, and completely charming! Thank you for this interview!
Great interview, I always loved his character in Big Trouble!
Amazing Jessie thank you! Thats been my favorite movie for over 30 years!
This video deserves more views! This was such an excellent interview with Mr Wong.
This was too good, Love it. Thanks so much for this interview. Carter is a LEGEND
Amazing! This is great! Thank you for this....love Carter Wong's work.
What a great guy! Loved him in Big Trouble in Little China.
Thank you for doing this. It was great to see!
Epic!!! A true legend! Thanks for this great interview!
That was great. You're a really good interviewer, Jessie, and seeing Carter Wong was terrific.
Thank you for this interview. I still love this movie and regularly watch when it comes on.
wow. this was a great interview. thank you very much for the subtitles. very good perspective from carter wong on big trouble, little china
I love this interview, you both were great here. I've been a fan of Carter Wong ever since seeing Big Trouble in Little China when I was a kid. Mr. Wong is a true class act, humble yet direct and to the point when necessary. Liked and subscribed.
黃師傅武德很好，睇佢訪問好專重人，唔會好似有些人，只會話人這樣不好。那樣不好，佩服🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is amazing! Very professional interview, but with a great natural flow.
This was the most awesome interview I've seen on youtube in a long time.
Thank you for this video! It was great to hear Sifu Wong's perspectives on not only making "Big Trouble In Little China," but also immigrating to America and Chinese martial arts. This was also a good way to practice reading my Simplified Chinese and listening to both Mandarin and Cantonese (I'm very impressed to see how you and Sifu Wong switched between the two). I hope you can get more interviews and reactions in the future.
Great interview. Thank you.
Carter gave all his muster and gusto to Thunder truly a brilliant human and actor
I absolutely love Big Trouble in Little China. I remember watching it when I was in High School back in the 80s. I cant even count how many times I've seen it. I'm actually watching it right now, and decided to do a quick search for actors from the movie. This interview is great!
that was amazing, thank you for this
Just seeing the reaction and this interview. I have seen this movie so many times and never realized all of the references to actual mythology and old kung fu movies. It made me appreciate it more
WOW what a great ending! He's so great such an entertaining and enthusiastic person!
Loved the questions Jessie. He gave such detailed and insightful responses.
😂😂😂😂😂😆 that was great interview!!! and the ending was hilarious!!! 🤣
Both Jessie and Mr. Wong were so eloquent and articulate. Both were a credit to their professions.👍👏 Jessie's sense of humor in making her videos, always provides an entertaining watch.
Such a great interview, thank you!
Ah, I'm so excited! BTLC is still my fave childhood movie, whenever I feel sick I always go back to this movie. It's delicious 80s cheesiness at it's best 🥰
Wow, kudos to a great interview!👏 Loved the text-color switch between Mandarin & Cantonese, really helps us Chinese-Learners differentiate what's going on... And such an AMAZING way to wrap things up with a re-enactment! 😂
Carter Wong in this movie always reminds me of my Father so I always have a soft spot in my heart for this movie and when I saw this interview, I loved everything second of it! Especially the outro! Great work! Just subscribed because of it!
Awesome interview!
Oh my gosh, I love this so much! One of my top favorite films of all times. I like Carter's description that the film was not racist. I agree with him that the writer paid reverence to the mystical side of Chinese culture:
Pinstripe lawyer : And I suppose that, uh, you expect me to believe in sorcery as well?
Egg Shen : Of course!
Pinstripe lawyer : Why?
Egg Shen : Because it's real.
And while Jack Burton was sort of the leading buffoon, Wang was the leading man. This movie was way ahead of its time. And it's still so darn funny. And I love it when Thunder explodes. I never thought about how it only results in tossed salad, not blood and gore... maybe martial artists are vegetarians? So nice to meet Carter!
Jack Burton is most definitely a buffoon in the movie. He knocks himself out during the first big fight, and his main focus is getting his truck back.
That was so nice and insightful (and the comedic cut of that ending, omg)
