In an interview Karen Mok did for her new jazz CD. She had the following to say about Man of Tai Chi and Keanu Reeves:
“That’s another dream project, to be able to work with someone like Keanu Reeves,” she says.
“And even better, it’s his debut as a director. For me, the fun thing is to work with different people and try out different things. I like to try new things. That’s just part of my character. Whenever there’s an opportunity to try something different, I just go for it.”
Mok plays a police officer in Man of Tai Chi. “A tough, Hong Kong, kick-ass cop,” she clarifies with a laugh. “I’m quite good at playing cops.”
