Reply to comment by CogitatorX in Cynthia Rothrock was the best Martial Arts female movie star and yet she almost never gets any credit by Lili_Danube

Nobody outside of Hong Kong / China really knows Cheng. Also, you’re completely ignoring Yeoh’s impact on world cinema.

So yes. Yeoh is the GOAT.

We’re not talking about “world cinema” we’re talking about female martial arts stars. Most people in the west only know Yeoh from this last movie and Crouching Tiger and I’d wager most younger people have no idea she got her start in Hong Kong action theater.

I’d say it absolutely deals with world cinema. Have a nice day.

Except we were literally discussing who was the best female martial artist actor when someone stated Yeoh is not a martial artist but a dancer who performed martial arts choreography. To which I stated the undeniable fact that Cheng Pei-pei was also a dancer who performed martial arts choreography and was better at it than Yeoh. You then started going on about “world cinema”.

Right. And i am saying that her role world cinema was influenced by much of her martial arts and stunt work.

Again. She’s the goat.

Have a nice day.
