Brigitte Lin columnist
In a recent column for Hong Kong’s Southern Weekend, Brigitte recalled her experience filming New Dragon Inn and how she injured her eye during a night shoot. The martial arts director wanted to shoot a close-up of Brigitte’s face with many bamboo swords at her. In the flailing of swords, a shred of bamboo struck her eyes. The crew helped wash out her eyes and Brigitte returned to filming though her right eye was in pain. Back at the hotel in Dunhuang, Brigitte cried out of pain and self-pity. she cried through the night until she was too tired to sleep. After going to the emergency room the next morning, Brigitte flew back to Hong Kong alone to get medical treatment. On the flight back, her eye wrapped in gauze, she buried her face in a straw hat and cried all the way back to Hong Kong. Even now, she does not want to watch New Dragon Inn.
Despite the injury, Brigitte still fondly remembers the beauty of filming in the night desert and was reminded of it on a recent vacation with her family in Thailand.
