Outside of the Chinese diaspora community the pleasures of the wuxia had widely been unknown by more than a handful of Western connoisseurs. That all changed with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a kind of Greatest Hits reel of the genre that became a surprise sleeper hit, bolstered by lighter-than-air action sequences, Chow Yun-fat at his most dashingly heroic, a coterie of wild women warriors including Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, and King Hu star Cheng Pei-pei, and a hefty dose of romantic longing. The kind of crossover crowd-pleaser Chinese filmmakers have been trying to emulate ever since.
