John Lone

So, okay.

Uh, our, our villain, John Lone, as Shu Wokang.

I, I think a lotta people are gonna recognize him from, uh, Bernardo Bertolucci's, uh, The Last Emperor in '87.

Yes.

And there's really surprisingly little escalation in this film.

Like, you, you watch this movie, you don't come away with three or four sequences you immediately want to describe to somebody.

Like, in fact, I would say the highlights of this film are the exchanges between, like, Alec Baldwin and, and John Lone, like, when they're just sitting around just going back and forth where he's like, "Nice tie," you know? [laughs] They're, "Well, I'm gonna stop you." I mean, those seem more fun than the action set pieces.

It just doesn't really build up to anything.

And then we had casting directors all over the world looking for people, and she was coordinating this all, all over the world for a- actors who, who could be the various ages of Puyi.

And John Lone was a s- it was an obvious.

Yeah, he was so good.

Who plays the elder Puyi, right?
