Taiwan, Hong Kong, USA 2000, 120 min., OV Mandarin with German subtitles, Blu-ray projection
With: Chow Yun-Fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, Cheng Pei-Pei, Sihung Lung

A super valuable jade sword is stolen. Warriors fight over the magical blade, dashing across rooftops, ponds and tree tops. Oh yes, there's also plenty of flirtation, drama and betrayal.

Michelle Yeoh! Chow Yun-Fat! Ziyi Zhang! My dear Scholli, what a movie! For many, Ang Lee's instant classic was the somewhat belated mainstream introduction to the wondrous world of wuxia: magical martial arts, mystical swordplay, etc. - See the start of the end-of-season wave CHINESE GHOST STORY or classics like A TOUCH OF ZEN. Master Woo-ping Yuen (IRON MONKEY), who also assisted the long-noses in KILL BILL 1 & 2 and THE MATRIX, put the fine fight sequences on the floor. TIGER & DRAGON opened the door for Zhang Yimou's HERO and HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS. Always beautiful... (Mark Sikora)
