In the West, audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.

Vincent Mancini: [Vincent has caught one of Zaza's hitmen and is talking to the other] Wait a minute, don't do anything, just watch. I'm going to show you something, just watch, OK?
[shoots the one he is holding]
Vincent Mancini: [killer releases Grace] All right, just relax. Now, tell me; who sent you?
Hired Killer: [still in shock] Joey,
Joey Zaza. He sent us to kill you.
Vincent Mancini: Thanks.
[shoots the second killer]

Spike: Blimy, it's cold.
Whitey: That's why I wore me mittens.
Spike: Wha... Hitmen don't wear mittens! Take them off! You're embarrasing me!
Whitey: It's all right for you. You've got little hands. They don't freeze as much.
Rita: What are you, some kind of rat boomerang? Give me back
my ruby!
Roddy: I haven't got your ruby!
[the ruby falls on his hand]
Roddy: Okay. Well, now I've got your ruby.
