Love Hurts makes an emotional reference to Ke Huy Quan's recent comeback and Oscar victory during his reunion with The Goonies co-star Sean Astin.

Quan plays a hit man turned real estate agent in the action-comedy film directed by Jonathan Eusebio, while DeBose plays his former partner in crime — and love interest — who comes back into his life on Valentine’s Day to settle some scores.

The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actor talks about masculinity, romance and his tradition with his forever Valentine.

When Quan won his Oscar for the film Everything Everywhere All at Once, he said “I cannot believe it’s happening to me”

It's movie time, and an Oscar contender is truly, to me, the best movie that we'll talk about this week. We see Ke Huy Quan in a lead role, finally, in "Love Hurts."

That line, uttered by irrepressible sidekick Short Round in 1984's "Indiana Jones at the Temple of Doom," has endured, even if it didn't end up being true. See, love never died for Ke Huy Quan, who portrayed Indy's precocious sidekick. One might even say the actor's famed Hollywood return could be considered a second chance romance.

A last-ditch return to acting in his late 40s led to a heart-melting role in 2022’s action comedy "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and then — astoundingly — an Oscar win for best supporting actor. It was a fairy tale moment, and Quan’s emotional acceptance speech was hugely moving. Now comes the hard part: Sustaining a career.

Love Hurts” gives audiences the best of both worlds as the story follows former assassin Marvin (Key Huy Quan) as he gets yanked out of his new mundane life as a real estate agent and back into his brother’s world of crime when an old flame returns.

Career revivals like the one that has happened to Ke Huy Quan are extremely rare in Hollywood. As a child, he scored two big back-to-back roles in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies.
