I was riding a motorcycle onto a moving train. “What was I thinking?” Yeoh said to Entertainment Weekly.
MICHELLE OF CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON MOVIE
Quentin Tarantino famously claimed Supercop boasted “the greatest stunts ever filmed in any movie ever,” and one of the best was when Yeoh actually jumped a motorcycle onto the top of a moving train. Here are some of the most memorable moments in her death-defying career.Īlthough Yeoh had plenty of experience performing her own stunts throughout the 1980s, nothing in her career proved as dangerous as her performance in Police Story 3: Supercop (1992), in which she portrayed an Interpol agent who teams up with Jackie Chan’s police officer protagonist. “The beauty queen–turned–action star has worked with some of the best Asian filmmakers ranging from Jackie Chan to Johnnie To, bringing her signature grace and charisma to a huge variety of roles.”įrom her early roles in Hong Kong action movies to her performances in hits like the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Yeoh has never shied away from challenging roles, sometimes putting her life on the line to perform her own stunts. “A true international icon, Michelle Yeoh had one of the most dynamic and prolific careers in the world long before she swept Hollywood,” Aliza Ma, Criterion Channel’s head of programming, told. In fact, a retrospective on her career released by the Criterion Channel this month is literally called “Michelle Yeoh Kicks Ass.”
Michelle Yeoh earned her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress this year for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once, but the 60-year-old actress has been kicking ass for nearly four decades.
