(EMPIRE) Jet Li's upcoming film, Kiss of the Dragon is said to be some of his best work yet, but he warns that it shouldn't be seen by children.

Appealing to parents on his official site, the fighting star implored fans to keep younger audiences away from the film. ?The movie utilizes very realistic, hard-core, action-packed fight sequences,? says Li. ?I'm very proud of the final result and hope that my fans enjoy the movie, however, this is a movie that I do not feel is appropriate for children.?

Having been given an ?R? rating by the MPAA, Kiss of The Dragon is open to all audiences in the US providing that under 17s are accompanied by an adult. ?Kiss of the Dragon is an adult movie and deals with adult themes of a man keeping his promise and understanding his responsibilities," insists Li. "The action scenes are also directed towards an adult audience? I ask that you please do not take your young children to see Kiss of the Dragon.?

You have to give Li props for saying this instead of going for the quick buck.  I'm sure this movie is going to be great, and there's no doubt that it will be graphic.

As an alternative, Li suggests you wait a few months for his next film to be released.  The One will have a PG-13 rating and will be released on November 2nd.
