"I kept the best for all the foreigners. I would do my make-up in the public dressing rooms for all to see," says Jackie Chan, in response to the question that actor has the biggest trailer on set.

"I wanted the set to feel like home to them so that they would very comfortable and think that filming in China was not really bad at all. I didn't want them to give a bad impression," Jackie further added.

He also shares that most of the extras are not professional actors but foreign students studying in China. They were recruited to play the Roman soldiers in the movie.

Several scenes were shot in Gobi desert, one of the places that bear a huge challenge in sustaining its erratic weather.

"Even the horses would know to seek out the shade and you could see people hiding under the vehicles for a snooze. There was simply no shade to be found and even tents that were put up would be blown away when the winds came," says Jackie, in a previous interview with Life.

Temperatures fluctuated erratically, from a below freezing point temperature in the morning to a scorching hot above 50 degrees weather later in the afternoon. In addition, the actors had to wear heavy costumes with their respective armor.

Despite the weather condition, the action packed movie is still box office success.

'The Dragon Blade' is deemed to have the largest budget for a Chinese film though Jackie confesses that he doesn't feel too much pressure about its success.

"In the past, I would compare the box office of my films to with those of Sammo Hung and others. But today, it's not about beating anyone. It would be best if everyone did well," says Jackie.

Jackie Chan's perfect track record for all his movies can vouch for that. His movies still hit box office records, despite evolution of more CGI enhanced action movies.

"I have kept my Jackie Chan, very stupid style of making movies. And it is because I have stuck to the old school way of doing action flicks that I can still have a place in the top tier of movies," Jackie reveals this statement, in response how his films have kept its consistency through the years.

The action star can't remember how many injuries he sustained while shooting the movie because his film projects are tightly scheduled.

His next action film is titled Skiptrace, an action comedy movie directed by Finnish director Renny Harlin.
