Action heroine Michelle Yeoh burst onto the Hollywood scene in the James Bond flick Tomorrow Never Dies. Her new fans should pursue her Hong Kong movies for a fuller dose of the beautiful, dy...( read more  read more... )namic Yeoh--and Magnificent Warriors, one of her earliest movies, is a good place to start. The very young Yeoh plays an independent adventuress with a bright yellow biplane who gets hired by the Chinese government to rescue the kindly but spineless ruler of a city in Mongolia that's been overrun by the invading Japanese. Yeoh swings a mean whip against rogue villagers and Japanese agents, culminating in the entire city battling the gun-wielding Japanese army with spears and stones. Not a great movie, but even mediocre Hong Kong movies feature stunts and fights that put Hollywood to shame; Magnificent Warriors is no exception. Yeoh's background as a dancer lends an elegance to her high-kicking combat. --Bret Fetzer

    Quality action scenes set to a completely unbelievable backdrop.

    Michelle Yeoh is superb in her martial arts sequences and this film has amazing hard-hitting action, dynamic camera-work and ultra-slick editing to deliver a lightning-paced tribute to the Indiana Jones movies.
