The Tsui Hark directed new concept 3D wuxia epic FLYING SWORD OF DRAGON GATE (LUNG MOON FEI GAP) officially announced lead actor Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit)'s swordsman look. He was dressed simply, looked determined and walked between sands and stones with a long sword on his back.

Working with Tsui Hark again after 14 years, Lee Nin Kit said that whether he could become the top swordsman of the world was no longer important. His interest lay in a new wuxia world that was created in a 3D structure. He said, "This is a film revolution that happens right on time. Film needs new blood, whether it is technology or talent I am willing to start with renewal." Familiar with Lee Nin Kit's special performance quality, Tsui Hark felt that people were the most attracted to Lee Nin Kit's elegant martial art action. Thus he did not want costume or
accessories to hinder his movement. Thus, his "ample" swordsman skills made up for the "lack" of character design.

Lee Nin Kit's swordplay has already been at its best 20 years ago. Now to demonstrate perfect swordsmanship in the 3D visual world, it is more difficult than expected. No wonder he thought "after making this movie, perhaps I have new improvement in martial art because now I can be
'accurate' even with aerial maneuvers."
