The only connective tissue this movie shares with the original in terms of characters is Michelle Yeoh’s warrior Yu Shu Lien, who is still heartbroken about her beloved Li Mu Bai’s death and has sworn to keep Green Destiny safe.
None of the main cast has returned, and neither has director Ang Lee. There’s no denying that Crouching Tiger 2 feels like a slighter version of the original.

Much like the Elder Wand from Harry Potter or The One Ring from Lord of the Rings or Thor’s Mjolnir, only the worthy can conquer it. Now Green Destiny is one of the better MacGuffins out there. A villainous man aptly named Hades Dai needs to get his hands on Li Mu Bai’s legendary sword: Green Destiny. A villainous man aptly named Hades Dai is planning to stage an attempt to capture that imaginary throne, but to become the ultimate ruler, he needs to get his hands on Li Mu Bai’s legendary sword: Green Destiny. Li Mu Bai is dead, and with his death, a void is left open atop the Martial World. Netflix’s third original movie takes us back to medieval China, and for better or for worse, fails to live up to the admittedly high mark set by the original.Ĭrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny – that’s what the film is called – takes off 18 years after the end of the first movie, no doubt in a move to organically address the passage of time between the two films. It’s true that not many were pleading for a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel, especially one that arrived about 15 years too late, but they made one anyway, bless them.
