Audio problem: When Jen is kicking the crap out of everyone in the restaurant, she is supposedly saying a whole load of stuff, but if you watch carefully, she isn't saying most of it, it must have been dubbed. (01:20:30)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Ang Lee
Starring: Michelle Yeoh, Yun-Fat Chow, Ziyi Zhang, Chow Yun-Fat, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Chang
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the cave where Jen's hands are tied the loose ends of the knot change from shot to shot. (01:01:20)
Li Mu Bai: The things we touch have no permanence. My master would say: there is nothing we can hold onto in this world. Only by letting go can we truly possess what is real.
Question: What is the significance of the very last shot? We see see Jen (Zhang Ziyi) flying into the clouds and then a mountain/forest shot, in which nothing happens, for about a second and then the credits roll.

Answer: It is an open question. Interpretation of the last scene is really left to the audience. But to those of you who completely missed the whole point of the jump, it refers to the "Legend of the Mountain" as told to Jen by Lo "Dark Cloud". He told her that if a person makes a wish and jumps from the mountain, the wish will be granted and, occasionally, the jumper's life will be spared. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is actually a fourth book in the series of five books. In the book, Jen survives the fall, but never returns to Lo, fearing her parents shame and prosecution. Popular opinion seems to be that Jen was in fact in love with Li Mu Bai and the jump was an attempt of escaping the live lover towards the dead one.
