ZIYI ZHANG vs ANDY LAU Drum Battle | HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS (2004)

[@MysteriMustacheToast]

The set and costume design for this were just stunning

[@FernandaSantos-d4t]

Yes 💯🌙☀️👌👏👏👏👏👏😅

[@doriancoreyscloset421]

That's about it

[@beyosose_knowls]

These costumes were made by a Japanese designer.

[@TD88865]

The first time I ever saw a Chinese drama when it was released, I cried at the ending and have loved Asian drama ever since.

[@marteenee88]

The fact this was 20 years ago and I remember watching it for the first time 😮😅

[@carmennatividad8804]

me too

[@staceyk.210]

Zhang Ziyi was absolutely Phenomenal in this role!! Her Beauty along with her Skills with the Sword 🗡️ is clearly Unmatched🩷🤍💞🤍🩷

[@zhaoyun3153]

I love this movie. I also love all of the designs from the drums to the clothes that the men and women wear to the hair styles of the women to the interior decorating and design of the building. No other country and culture expresses such beauty by integrating multiple colors through different fashion and art and architectural styles like the Chinese of centuries and millennia ago.

[@cargo71]

She can look badass and vulnerable at the same time. Not only her beauty, but her expressions, her gestures! She´s incredible!

[@rhazesdark]

The cinematography in this film, the choreography, the score, the story, the special effects, everything is absolutely stunning.

[@Surf1100]

My aunt was one of the makeup artists who do her makeup in this movie, she was adorable that time, and of course still pretty now after 25 years later.

[@eithanjiss3420]

U say lay

[@Forever18or21]

Zhang ziyi is a different kind of class , seriously no one has ever came close anymore.

[@JaguarMexica]

In the context of the film she's a double agent pretending to be blind, pretending to be the daughther of a general, pretending to be in love with another man and he's also a double agent pretending to be an army captain but they are lovers in real life and the Madamme of the house is also a double agent, pretending to be a Madamme but she also on their side...So, who is this FOR?

[@elizabethgordon4126]

Just a good excuse to make a visually stunning film with fantastic effects and to give the students in the traditional dance & music schools a chance to show off!!

[@_Mayibongwe]

For the viewers :-)

[@jeffdoeskungfu]

i always wondered this too

[@cupidok2768]

wha ts wrong wtih this weird lagging fights.... he didn't even attack yet and she's already dodging....-__--

[@Rollercoaster-v5j]

China really needs to protect their personal heritage and culture. They're patterns and style are very unique to them. So beautiful.

[@PhoenixPlaneswalker]

Emperor: We'll test her. Get the matching drums, bowl of beans and percussion section. Include one dude drumming on a pumpkin in a bowl of water.

[@kh0034]

This is one of my favorite movies! So beautifully done, the clothing, the scenery, the martial arts. And at the end of the dvd, Kathleen Battle sings a beautifully sad song. Highly recommend this!

[@khmer5o3]

Zhang Ziyi, one of the Four Dan Actress of China. She will always be my celebrity crush. They don't make movies like this anymore!! Stunning costumes and visuals! Also other notable movies in the early 2000's that were amazing. I love Chinese Cinema. Curse of the Golden Flower Hero Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

[@MewMewSun]

Curse of the Golden Flower is a beautiful movie but it's so sad and stressful 😢❤

[@chanmarr8118]

@@MewMewSun I loved it so much that I got it on DVD. The ending makes me angry every time 😭 I think this was my first time seeing Gong Li as well, also a beautiful and amazing actress.

[@gigglypuff5135]

Such a stunning movie

[@nicolenewsome4863]

This is my favorite scene she's absolutely lovely and amazing!

[@memesbeatychannel6827]

Just came to this from Crouching Tiger. In fact, different kind of level!

[@mulanmiller5000]

CTHD is still the far better movie though, at least for me.

[@johna8947]

One of my favorite movies. Ziyi Zhang is so stunning..

[@mr.s2005]

knowing what the spoilers are, his smile during this fight means so much more, he and she are just having a little fun.

[@TheColoradoGeisha]

Water sleeves! So amazing! So much technique, study, and talent!

[@Rollercoaster-v5j]

Chinese new year is such a miraculous time of the year. I love that China represents their calendar with animals and a bunch of different birth years at once and in no particular order. They tend to be very particular about their culture and it seems that it's in need of protection. Disney did a great job at representing this in the original cartoon version. She would be the perfect candidate to portray the live action version, if it even happens. So talented.

[@Sharmin-bi4rp]

Damn this is some crazy cinematography shot I have seen for the first time even modern c drama shots are less impressive than this . Truly marvellous 👏🏻

[@joydubblon7878]

А Вы смотрели "Герой"? Каждый кадр как каллиграфический росчерк... идеален.

[@ericchou750]

My fav film!

[@山口菜穂子]

この映画の中でキモとも言える名シーンですよね。 チャン・ツィイーの役は【飛刀族(ひとうぞく)】とよばれる暗殺を請け負う集団の女性で一族を束ねるボスの娘で盲目ながら暗殺の技術は一族でも1·2を争う腕前。という設定だったと記憶しています。

[@thomasvilla6109]

Love the sound of steel on steel and seeing steel blades flex. stunning.

[@บุญมหาเฮง]

ยอมรับสุดยอดจริงฉากนี้ คนรำเหมือนนางในวรรณคดีเลยค่ะงานจริงๆทั้งท่วง่าการรำหน้าตาพร้อมเพรียบสวยมากค่ะ

[@Suchness_of_Life]

Such Wuxia masterpieces in early 2000 are non-existent now, unfortunately. The last one could be Shadow (2018).

[@_Mayibongwe]

I'm gonna check that out

[@Hiro_Trevelyan]

This scene was engraved in my memory as a child, it was just so stunning and cool

[@Ritercrazy]

She is one of my favorite actresses.

[@823gth2]

チャン・ツｲイーは10代の時北京の舞踏学校や演劇学校に入ってて、ダンスは優勝してたりするんですよね。だからこのような動きはお手のものでしょう。BSで久しぶりに見た時、母親の顔になったな〜と時の流れを感じましたが、アジアを代表する女優さんなのは間違いないかな…

[@colinstafford7846]

I was so in love with this woman.

[@chrishenniker5944]

I love this film because the girls are gorgeous, the characters are morally compromised and shifting allegiances. Nothing is cut and dried in this film.

[@omnifake3339]

Cinema is cooked. We are never getting things like this again

[@realhorrorshow8547]

I'd forgotten how good this is. Though not how beautiful Ziyi Zhang is. I must watch it again.

[@sarangkarthik]

After watching arunthathi reels 😂😂😂

[@ekaterinakuznetsova5893]

beautiful film!

[@abandonallhope.1040]

Feel like the fact that she was not blind at all undermines how impressive this all is

[@jessebrownie]

LOVE this scene , but who was keeping tabs of which drums the nuts where hitting ? Like how do we know she hit all the right ones when he threw all of them in the air ?

[@Rollercoaster-v5j]

This reminds me of contemporary dancing. So majestic.

[@Morgowitch]

It had to be the same director as Hero. Looked it up and of course it is Yimou Zhang. Love it.

[@mmasque2052]

He also directed the opening ceremonies for the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing.

[@tashaonly]

That was one of the most epic fights ever.

[@BBRocker75]

FACT: 20 years ago the whole sets on "HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS" were amazing, classy, all them look fancy, expensive, perfect desing. FACT: 20 years later A-mess-on "Rings of Power" sets look cheap, tacky, bad design, fake, and amateur design WITH A BILLIONAIRE BUDGET.

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

6:02 WTF 😳

[@-Stinky_Pinky]

Boiiiiing!

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

Thos swords are called "Dao". They're a type of Chinese sword made with malleable metal so they can easily bend and lessen the chances of the blade snapping or breaking from the hilt (unlike regular hard steel swords).
