Statham did most of the action scenes featuring a ship under attack from the killer creature himself.

"China's home market may be massive," he says.

It has seen an average growth rate of over 30 percent year-on-year over the past half decade.

"But if we want to spread our culture abroad, we must work with Hollywood," says the filmmaker, who has many years of experience doing exactly that.
