Aka: Twin Warriors
It saddens me that when most people hear the name Yuen Woo-ping the first thing they think of is The Matrix (1999). I love The Matrix, but what he achieved with actors only partially trained in combat is a mere shadow of his ability; for the real Woo-ping you need to go to his Chinese films. Every bone-crunching and ankle-busting flight of fancy was achieved in-camera with no CGI. Keep that in mind while watching and you’ll begin to understand why he’s perhaps the greatest film fight choreographer alive today.
If that wasn't enough you also have Jet Li, the greatest movie martial artist of his generation, and Michelle Yeoh who is arguably the most graceful. Jet is on top form, using his innate ability to be both effortlessly bad-ass and endearingly naïve simultaneously. Martial Arts fans need this.
