Today, we have a scene from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2000).

The sword thief Yu Jiao Long (Zhang Ziyi) against master fighter Yu Xiu Lian (Michelle Yeoh).

Usually, I despise most modern and Asian action films because of their disrespect for the laws of physics (e.g. flying people, super speed), but here these effects are sparse, and the focus is on the skills and the mind games between the two women, so I love it!

Two women engage in a duel. Lian is the superior fighter, but Yu Jiao wields the fabulous sword Green Destiny and is able to destroy each weapon that Lian wields, until Lian finally manages to defeat Yu Jiao with a broken sword.
