Director Jonathan Eusebio says Ke Huy Quan's emotional attachment to his hard-won Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar inspired an epic Love Hurts fight scene in which Quan's character risks his life to protect his "real estate agent of the year" award.

Quan floated the idea of the pair working together back on Oscars night in 2023, something DeBose embraced on the spot.

Even though Ke Huy Quan did his own stunts in the action sci-fi film Everything Everywhere All At Once , which earned him an Academy Award, he was still shocked when he got the call to star in his latest action flick,

Academy Award-winning actor Ke Huy Quan joins TODAY to talk about his first leading role in “Love Hurts” and reuniting with his “Goonies” co-stars at his handprint and footprint ceremony outside the TCL Chinese Theatre.

Ke Huy Quan said Steven Spielberg convinced him to star in 'Love Hurts,' after the actor initially thought he wasn't suited to play an action hero.

Spielberg directed a 12-year-old Quan opposite Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” They celebrated the 2023 awards season together, with Quan in the race for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and Spielberg for “The Fabelmans.”

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 is a Universal movie, and since the production company is under the NBCUniversal umbrella, that means it will head to Peacock for streaming. Theatrical films typically hit the platform three months after their release, so if Love Hurts follows the same format, expect to see it on Peacock by May 2025.

The Oscar winner is charming as ever in his first leading role, but absolutely nothing else in Jonathan Eusebio's action outing is up to snuff.

The latest martial arts effort from the team behind ‘John Wick’ and Nobody’ has a few moments of flare but feels like a fixer-upper in need of some work.
