King Hu: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), which they acted in: King Hu ⇒ Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (the host's read). CTHD plays in the milieu of King Hu and the wuxia classics, but with a more modern sensibility.

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Michelle Yeoh: Debilitating knee surgery at the start of filming; she flew back and forth for surgery, action pushed to the end.
    “Right. And she had to keep on flying back to the States for surgery and then she'd fly back to set, do dialogue scenes while she was recovering, fly back to the States for further surgery.”
