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.

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.

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.

In 'Love Hurts,' the likable actor is stuck juggling a nonsensical Valentine’s Day plot, Jackie Chan-style stunts and various other half-baked ideas.

Actor Ke Huy Quan is finally front and center after almost four decades in the entertainment industry, a few blockbuster hits and an Oscar under his belt.

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.
