crouching tiger, hidden dragon

Move aside Bruce Lee. Martial Arts just got a female infusion. In Ang Lee’s fantasy world of honour and double crosses, a fiery teenage girl turns her back on marriage to “roam freely” like her mentor, an unmarried woman warrior. The Invincible Sword Goddess slices, dices, and high kicks her way through a hoard of barbarians, leaps across rooftops, wrestles her way into a bandit’s heart, and learns about patience while dueling on a delicate bamboo bow. Sweeping epic fun with a girl power twist. [china, 2000]
