Ep. 20 – Moonlight Express (1999)


Celebrate Michelle Yeoh’s recent Oscar nomination by revisiting a role that truly utilizes her star power – MOONLIGHT EXPRESS, also starring Leslie Cheung, is a Hong Kong-Japanese co-production that Yeoh did for free, as a favor to a friend, during a quiet period between TOMORROW NEVER DIES and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. Though she’s only in the movie for about 10 minutes, she ends up delivering a terrific dramatic performance.
