Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Blu-ray Review

[Wayde Robson]

Next is to research foreign versions for a BD that keeps the theatrical dubs. If anyone knows, please send PM, thanks.

I wonder if the actors didn't dub themselves??

I have seen some foreign movies where the actors dubbed themselves. Jacke Chan does this a lot. But I am almost positive that this wasn't the case with CTHD.

I also seriously doubt that Michelle Yeoh's native language is English. She has a pretty thick accent and she makes the common mistakes with English that many other Asian speakers do. Her English is certainly very good, I just don't think it's her first language.

I am honestly not a fan of this movie. I think that "House of Flying Daggers" is superior in every way cinematically. Cinematography in Tiger does not even come close to that in Daggers.

Sorry, have to completely disagree on that one. CTHD has some moments where it stumbles story wise, but overall it is still a better film. The cinematography is better in CTHD without a doubt and if you want to get into that, Curse of the Golden Flower is better in that respect than either of them, but isn't quite as good of a movie. I've watched CTHD and HOFD at least 10 times each. To each their own.

Michelle Yeoh's native language is most likely not English. Anyone who has seen her early films (and she has quite a few) knows this. IMDB says she was born in Malaysia.
