Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon(2000) Best fight scenes ever?

Watching it now on Netflix and it's amazing. What stands out to me is actually seem to be trying to hurt each other instead of, for example, throwing ridiculous looping punches to set up obvious counters like a lot of martial arts movies.


Anyway great movie.


All these chicks can get it too Jade Fox included

 

Yuen Wo Ping's absence is the reason MATRIX is so much better than its successors by most accounts.

 

Nope,

But still a damn great movie that has lasted the decades..

 

Was good but best ever? No.

Best of its time certainly.

And I don't mean modern is better. I mean older movies despite limitations has some damn good fight scenes too

 

I remember when it came out.

 

20 years ago. Holy crap that's crazy

 

Never seen it. Dont speak Cambodian.

 

Not even close imo.

I think even if you like the wire style sword fighting Hero was better.

 

Will watch

 

Man, did I have a crush on her.

 

Up there in Goat Archetypal Martial Art Dramas ... like Hero, House of Flying Dagger;

One of my favorite films.

 

Didnt know this was on NF. Need to rewatch ASAP

Movie absolutely melted my mind when I was a youngster

 

No. Not a big fan of the wire-fu.

Good movie though.

 

I actually thought it was kind of silly

 

It definitely stands out as awkward and poorly done.

 

Fuckin' A, time flies, brother.

 

Funny because the biggest criticism Chinese audience had were the accents of the main actors who were not native Mandarin speakers.

I bet @Linguist can notice the nuances. If you've seen the movie please rate Yun Fat & Yeoh's mandarin accent.

 

this ones good

 

Tbh wire stuff doesn't really do it for me. Comes off cartoonish.

 

Wire-fu is the CGI of martial art movies: There are pros and cons.

As a side note, before Parasite, this was the closest foreign movie to win a Oscar for best picture.
