I’m a huge fan of hers and am glad she’s getting the shine she deserves. Everything Everywhere All At Once was such a great showcase of her talent and everyone else in that movie was great too.

Her grace and presence in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is her GOAT performance for me, but Everything Everywhere was incredible. We all knew she had many different acting chops, but that was a wild ride and she carried us all.

She’s amazing! Ever since I saw her in yes madam! I’ve followed non stop. I wish she hadn’t taken that long break for her marriage. That dude didn’t deserve her.

She actually had to learn Chinese for that role - she grew up speaking English and Malay.

Who the fuck is Cynthia Rothrock and why is she so awesome?
Australian-Hungarian t1_iyajz6r wrote
From what I remember reading she was a good actress that hit all the right notes and always put in 100% but just never hit the big screens.

Cynthia Rothrock was a female bodybuilder/star of kung-fu action films in the 80’s and early 90’s. I don’t know that I’d call her a good actress, but her movies were super cheesy fun

She was the equivalent of Michael Dudikoff. Full disclosure, I loved those cheesy martial arts movies.

American Ninja is my favorite action movie series. Everything about it is magic….except for number 5 with the kid and Mr. Miyagi.

Oh MAN, Cynthia Rothrock & Don "The Dragon" Wilson were the absolute SHIT back in the early 90s. If you were a kid and had Showtime, you were all about watching their movies when you weren't trying to catch some Red Shoe Diaries boobs or something.

Somehow I remember Don vividly but don't recall her at all. Time to go digging through old flicks, I guess!

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend checking out Royal Warriors if you enjoyed Yes, Madam. Another early Michelle Yeoh flick that rules out the gate.

Haha I've been browsing kung fu movies all morning now. I'll add it to the list! Thanks !

I'm wondering if the stair jump scene @5:35 wasn't being parodied in EEAAO?
