Women of KF cinema tributes

[Jimbo]

Glad you enjoyed them, mickey! The fans who put these tribute videos together are really good at it.

Back in the early '80s before Michelle Yeoh became an actress, she had gone to Scotland to study dance but suffered a serious back injury. I heard that that derailed her aspirations to become a dancer. Although you really couldn't tell from her very physical early onscreen performances. But you're right, her injury during CTHD likely affected her even more.

IMO, Moon Lee (Lee Choi-Fung) was one of the most underrated female screen fighters of the '80s and early '90s. Like Michelle Yeoh, she had a considerable dance background, but she also had some MA background as well. I remember in Taiwan reading a Chinese-language magazine article/interview of Moon Lee, and she mentioned 'Northern Shaolin', although IMO she moved more like TKD. Both Moon Lee and Michelle Yeoh could project that onscreen 'fire' (intensity) that great screen fighters project. But IMO, Moon Lee often surpassed Michelle in terms of sheer physicality and onscreen ferocity, even though she never equaled Michelle's star status.
