We're Discussing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

Published: Oct. 11, 2021, 5 a.m.

Once Upon A Time ...... There was  great sword, Green Destiny, and it was stolen.  The owner of the sword, Li Mu Bai, came to reclaim it, but found a potential student in the thief, however the thief didn't want to be trained.  They wanted to be free, but freedom is different for everyone. 

The intertwining stories of Jade Fox, Li, Jen and Yu Shu Lien, are played out around the changing ownership of a sword, with some AMAZING martial arts.


Our TOP 100 Movie Challenge continues with the absolute eye candy that is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.  Much like her first choice in our Alphabet Challenge, Ip Man, Isla felt the need for a martial arts movie, but does this STILL cut the mustard as far as action goes?.  And it's not just any style of action - this is traditional wire work kung fu - used in a way not seen in many modern action films.

We talk about the action, the women, the look, and does this movie get Bang for its Buck?  Listen in and find out, and if you enjoyed the show please leave a review in Podchaser - it helps us grown and makes us look good.  Otherwise please review us wherever you listen to us.
