Jackie Chan and Jet Li say they had so much fun making their first movie together they are planning a second one.

Both Chan and Li want to shoot another movie together based on a script they started working on 15 years ago, but both stars refused to give details.

Chan and Li’s friendship dates back to the 1980s. However, “after four months (of filming), we went from friends to becoming brothers” said Jet Li.

Li, a former national kung fu champion in China, said Chan watched him perform martial arts in the U.S. then, and Chan said he played host when Li first arrived in Hong Kong to try to break into the local film industry.
