The actress recalls a sequence that came close to going horribly wrong on the 1992 cop movie Supercop.
And for good reason.
It also includes theincredible sightof Yeoh riding an actual motorbike onto an actual moving train.

Says Yeoh: “What was I thinking?
I was swinging at the side of trucks.
I was riding a motorcycle onto a moving train.
I was doing the most insane stunts.”
Including one that almost killed her.
We learn the stunt and we do it," says Yeoh.
I’m not standing still, the car isn’t, nothing is still.
All I remember was like ‘Duhn!’
Fortunately, I didn’t go head first.
Then I hear Jackie.
He was like, ‘Okay, okay, that’s it!
We are finished for the day!
We’re not doing anymore!
We’re not doing it!'"
The really crazy thing was what happened next.
She was willing to try the stunt again.
“So we went up and got it in the next take.”
“I have to sometimes step back and say, ‘yo let the professionals do their job.’
I have to talk myself down.”
