Trivia

-------

Won 4 Oscars. Another 73 wins & 90 nominations



Jet Li was originally cast to play Li Mu Bai, but turned the part down to appear in Romeo Must Die (2000).

The role was next offered to Hong Kong singer/actor 'Lai, Leon' but he, too, turned it down.



Yun-Fat Chow did speak Mandarin (his first language is Cantonese) but native Mandarin speakers thought his

accent strained and overdone.



Michelle Yeoh did not speak Mandarin, and the script was presented to her phonetically with help from Mandarin-

speaking crew members - her Malaysian accent can be heard throughout.



"Crouching tiger hidden dragon" is a quote from Chinese mythology. It refers to hiding your strength from

others; advice which is followed too well by the characters in the film.



In 2001, this became the first foreign language film to earn over $100 million in the United States.



'Dun Tan' had only two weeks to compose and record the musical score.
