This photo released by Sony Pictures Classics shows Chow Yun Fat, left, and Michelle Yeoh in a scene from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Asked what he remembers about shooting the scene, Lee doesnโt hesitate: The sweating. Arguably more than any other film, โCrouching Tiger Hidden Dragonโ opened mainstream American moviegoers not just to a new genre known predominantly in Asia -- the wuxia tradition -- but to subtitled films. It set another record with 10 Academy Awards nominations, a mark since equaled by โRomaโ and โParasite.โ โCrouching Tigerโ took home four Oscars. Iโm fighting the genre, trying to make a great movie,โ Lee says.
