10 Awesome (Non-Sexist) Girl Vs Girl Fights

3. Michelle Yeoh vs Zhang Ziyi, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

To tell the truth, this fight is actually a tad underwhelming (same goes for the film): it's actually too balletic for my tastes, and so overly choreographed that there isn't really any sense of danger. I like my fights to have a little rawness mixed in with all the pretty (see Iron Monkey). Still, I couldn't find it in my heart to leave Michelle Yeoh off this list. I mean, it's Michelle Yeoh: the legend, the beauty queen, the warrior, the deity. Where she is concerned, nothing can ever be sub-par: she imbues everything she does with such an overabundance of grace, beauty and poise that you can't help but be mesmerized by her every movement. Plus, this is the only fight I could find on Youtube where she fights another chick, so give me a break, okay? And at least the other chick is Zhang Ziyi (House of Flying Daggers, Rush Hour 2) a young Chinese actress still writing her own cinematic legend in the Hong Kong/American movie scene. Perhaps it was kind of a symbolic changing of the guard. The old master (Yeoh), facing off against the young heir to the throne (Ziyi). Fortunately, Yeoh has shown no sign of slowing down as of yet. You certainly didn't see her falling behind in this fight. Criticisms aside, (lets leave the flying to the Matrix okay) the two ladies put on a marvelous display of kung fu; and while the overall fight may be lacking in brutality, it does have passion and inventiveness (not to mention a little humor thrown in by Yeoh) to easily plan an martial arts fan. You look at this fight (as flawed as it is) and wonder how people could ever consider that stuff done in the Charlie's Angels films as little more than child's play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OxQ-2gR1DU
