In our Jason Scott Lee Mulan interview, the actor talks about lending a realism to the villain of Bori Khan, who was actually based on a real … If you do this together, you’ll have a safe place to live, you won’t be chastised, you won’t be ridiculed, you won’t be judged: that’s the paradise that Bori Khan offers Xian Lang. For one, he’s based off a real historical figure. He proves that it's not below him to kill his enemies in cold blood to prove his power. The character replaces the hulking Shan Yu, who was the primary bad guy in the 1998 movie.

Just look at the animated "Hakuna Matata" from "The Lion King" next to the "real" one. So I think there’s a certain turn of the tides that happens with her character.You know with Jet, there wasn’t a whole lot of interaction, it was mostly my soldiers subduing him. The archer then draws his bow and replies one.

And so I think Bori Khan, for me, I came into wanting to develop a backstory — having him, not only [want] revenge for his father but actually be somewhat of a guardian for his clan and his tribe, and a guardian to protect this culture that was being overrun by the Chinese Empire. Despite Shan Yu not making a full appearance in the second film (due to having been killed), Mushu alludes to his demise at least once. There is a reason most of these stories were animated in the first place. You start seeing the unraveling of utilizing Xian Lang just as a tool, just as a stepping stone to get to where he wants to be and what he needs. Because a lot of what we wanted to do, we end up thinking, I think it’s great. Bori Khan, replacing Shan-Yu, still has his falcon, which is actually a shapeshifting witch played by legendary Chinese actress Gong Li. It’s not necessarily [that] she’s working for him, he promises that they’ll share [the rewards] but it turns out that’s not the case. And one was that, as the story plays out we understand that Bori Khan’s father, who was also named Bori Khan was killed by the Emperor in battle in the previous generation.
As an actor, you want that diversity, you want that contrast, otherwise it’s so boring. Later, he allows one of the Chinese spies to return to the Forbidden City, smugly telling the spy to inform the Emperor to send his best troops to face the Huns. He was voiced by the late Miguel Ferrer. Jason Scott Lee's Bori Khan is actually based on a real historical figure. The finale had involved Shan Yu's ghost army fighting against Mulan and her allies, including the Fa Family Ancestors.
He proves that it's not below him to kill his enemies in cold blood to prove his power.

He also decides to head straight for the mountain pass that would lead him straight to the Forbidden City, knowing full well that the entire Imperial Vanguard is guarding the pass and completely rejecting the option to simply go around the mountains and avoid the enemy army. In the deleted scenes of Mulan II, Shan Yu returns where he and his deceased army, all ghosts now, started to haunt Northern China, prompting the Emperor to send Mulan and Shang there. So my memory and my history has always been very encouraging.

He even makes jokes about it. It’s one of the things I think, even as an Asian actor, throughout my career I’ve always tried to try something different, you know. Just look at the animated Hakuna Matata next to the “real” one. I’ve been very blessed with those opportunities, much more opportunity than a lot of other Asian actors. But Lee’s Bori Khan in Mulan is a bit of a departure from the hulking menace that is Shan Yu in the 1998 animated film. Jason Scott Lee, left, trained and dieted for months to play a lean, ripped version of the villainous warlor Bori Khan. ... Donnie Yen as Commander Tung and Jason Scott Lee as the big bad villain Bori Khan.

“You know you want to play the funny guy, you want to be the hero, you want to be the bad guy.”“Knowing that it was going to be an epic live action movie, a really strong drama, we wanted to do our homework and get this character grounded,” Lee said.I think knowing that it was going to be an epic live action movie, a really strong drama, we wanted to do our homework and get this character grounded. Lee’s character, Bori Khan, is the leader of those opposing warriors. Along the way, she meets Xianniang, an ally of Bori Khan and the Rouran army who has more in common with Hua Mulan than she thinks. He is the evil leader of the Hun Army. Ultimately, only one scout delivers the message, implying that the archer killed the other; Though Shan Yu is a Disney villain, he does not engage in any singing at all, which befits his personality. After capturing two imperial scouts and sending them to deliver his challenge to the emperor, he asks his lead archer how many men it takes to deliver a message. But then looking into the region that he’s from, we wanted to sort of strategize and give him a lot of really strong intention for what he does. Shan Yu is the main antagonist of Mulan. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat.

And as we go, as the strategy starts to take effect to benefit Bori Khan, more and more you see his true colors, you see his true intentions.

One change-up that doesn’t work is a new character called Xian Lang (Gong Li), a shape-shifting sorceress who serves the evil Bori Khan (Jason Scott Lee) but wants to be her own woman. Shan Yu is known to be one of the most ruthless Disney villains. One of the biggest changes to the source material is the movie’s antagonist, Bori Khan (Jason Scott Lee), a warrior with a grudge against China’s emperor. You know you want to wear all those hats, and I think it’s great to stretch in that way. Such examples include his attack on the Great Wall, where he allowed a lone sentry to light the signal fire, sending word to the Emperor and giving him time to mobilize the Imperial Army. I want to go do a musical on the West End in London, or I want to go to a distant island in the Pacific called Easter Island and do a film there. So I took a lot of historical interpretations, Bori Khan is actually a historical figure. He even makes jokes about it. You know you want to play the funny guy, you want to be the hero, you want to be the bad guy. To take back tribal lands that were belong once belonged to their people and have this strong determination to put together a fierce army to take back those things from the Emperor.Yeah I think bringing Xian Lang, Gong Li’s character, into the picture you get this idea that we’re partners.
