7 Movies to Dive Deep into Wuxia After Where Winds Meet

5. Tiger & Dragon (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)

Release year: 2000 | Director: Ang Lee | Currently streaming: Currently only available for purchase on LaCinetek.

What is Tiger & Dragon about? The famous swordsman Li Mu Bai wants to give up his legendary sword and entrusts the warrior Yu Shu Lien with the task of handing it over to Yu. However, the weapon is stolen, and the heroine tries everything to reclaim it from the thief Jade Fox.

What kind of film is Tiger & Dragon? Although Tiger & Dragon relies on spectacular fight scenes, it is also about love and freedom. The film that brought Michelle Yeoh international attention not only features sword fights but also well-choreographed fist fights and the use of spears.

The sets are beautifully designed, particularly the bamboo forest, and it is the perfect film to see how good camera work should look in fight sequences.
