Martial arts emphasize heavily on drawing from an "enlightened" state of mind. Wherein, the practitioner will enter into a trance like state where they can perform amazing feats that would seem impossible to ordinary men. But, that is all that they really are: Regular people with exceptional training that removes the natural limitations of our bodies and minds.
It really is a thing of beauty - the human body. Ours are a source of limitless potential once unlocked.
@NicholasGeschke That is true, but they have the same errors and faults that the normal human being has, so a 21st Century machine gun is an easier way to kill someone rather than being purely epic.
Seriously why do they fly in this movie? That is just random, unexplained, silly and downright pointless. Other than that it was a good movie especially this scene.
Something Asia has that America doesn't have............Actresses that can KICK YOUR ASS!!!!! If Uma Thurman fought these girls, she wouldn't have made it to Vol. 2
When Michelle Yeoh's character says, "don't you dare touch it--that's Li Mu Bai's sword," the implied meaning is a sexual one. The sword is a phallic, masculine symbol. That's why she's so upset, because she loves Li Mu Bai and Zhang Ziyi's character is disrespecting her by tacitly acknowledging that, despite wanting to kill him, she is also attracted to his power. Even the choice of word ("muo") is telling, as it can mean "to caress" or "to stroke."

@Xavier34111 Kan Doa sword, Wushu spear, Lian hooks, Double hammer (the one she can't lift), sword breaker and the Jin Quan sword. Hope that helps you.
what movie was that? its so good at first until..... until,....... until...... she flies off. what a graceful exit , she could have done it before they fight.....
I'm not a fan of wire foo but i see this as a well done fight. Its important to pay attention to storytelling in fights themselves. But! then she gets all.. Super chick on us.
I was really hoping the war hammer had some screen time when i saw this the first time, always.
At the end, where the fight is over. "GAT-CHU!" (then flies off.)
Wan2 really learn how to fight instead of doing drills that hypothetically may work in a full speed situation? =====> watch?v=GbGuHB39ZOU
I dont get why people dont spar... all i see is less than half speed bull shit where instructors say "once the person throws a punch catch their wrist and do this..." that stuff only works in the movies people. sure i want to have a scorpion tail come out of my hands and kill people, but the shit isnt real!!!!
@cooleg4eg Croaching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Excellent Wushu classic and cross-over hit (the English version is easily availadble -- I'm actually surprised you never heard of it).
@TheMartialartsJedi thanks, i knew that doa were the sabre weapons, but didn't have a clue about the jian and shuanggou (english, so i can't even pronouce it)
I lost it when she flew away randomly. I haven't seen this movie so i don't know whats up but omg that was funny.
