I thought Michelle Yeoh could fight?


So why did they use a fight double for her so much?
IE when she was fighting with the pizza spinning sign.

I hate when people end a statement in a question mark?

See, what I mean! (This kind of lack of doing that to an actual question is almost as irritating)

Michelle never could FIGHT. She is one of those Jackie Chan-type 'wushu' theater actors, not actual fighters. She can do some cool stunts, just like Jackie Chan, but she really is like a poor man's female Jackie Chan.

Should I have said "poor woman's"?

In any case, she can't fight - women don't have to learn. She can 'perform wushu' (purely theatrical kung-fulike movement system that has no application in an actual fight), but she can't FIGHT (put her against any actual, skilled Kickboxer or whatnot, and she'll die from the pure trauma of being near that individual).

I could be wrong, of course, I don't know her, but that's the impression I have from watching her movies and her general public image.

Cynthia Khan, however... well, not sure about her actual fighting ability, either, but she does Yoga and looks really cool in movies, I recommend watching Cynthia Khan's Hong Kong movies if you want to see cool female-type Kung-Fu!
