Biografia

Cleverly utilizes everyday items as props in fight scenes (chairs, ladders, lamps, tables, etc.)

Likes to give "thumbs up"

Mostly does his own stunts

Often has outtakes at the end of his films of failed stunts and other accidents.

In addition to spectacular stunts and action, his movies often contain scenes in which he is tortured or forced to undergo grueling physical activity (usually as punishment by a master or teacher).

Has a permanent hole in his head from a stunt accident while filming Armadura de Deus (1986).

Not only does he do his own stunts, but he is a lead-from-the-front kind of guy and expects the actors and actresses in his movies to do their own stunts as well.

Says the most painful of all the injuries he has sustained in his career happened on Operação Dragão (1973), when Bruce Lee accidentally hit him in the face with a nunchuck.

In his action scenes, his punches and kicks actually connect with their targets. He has his actors wear special padding in their feet and body to prevent serious injury.

Has a great, long-lasting relationship with Mitsubishi Motors. The company has donated many of their automobiles for his films.

Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie.... Study computers instead.

It's very important that I get hurt [when making a movie]

I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid.

I don't want to be an action star, action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.

I have a few rules that I tell my manager: No sex scenes. No make love. The kids who like me don't need to see it. It would gross them out.
