Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Today we dip our little toes into new territory with our first subtitled flick with Ang Lee’s epic 臥虎藏龍, otherwise known as Wò hǔ cáng long,  or for you western types, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Crouching Tiger is a love story between two fabled warriors who are must recapture a fabled sword stolen by a mysterious young warrior and her murderous master. Starring Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, and Chang Chen, Hidden Dragon was an absolute smash! It hit the record for box office for a foreign film surpassing $100 million in the US and making $213 million globally from a very humble $17 million budget, in addition to scoring 10 Oscar nominations, winning 4. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate hidden dragons and drinking while podcasting as we try to see if this is worth looking for or if it should keep hiding.
