Up to year 2000, except for Tomorrow Never Dies, all older Michelle Yeoh
films are made in Chinese (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Soong
Sisters in Mandarin; others in Cantonese). There exist English subtitled
versions for all her non-English films. It is recommended to watch
them in the original language with subtitles, if possible.

- Online Shopping
Here is a list of some online video stores which carry Michelle Yeoh films.
Note 1 Michelle Yeoh Web Theatre has no affiliation with any of these companies, and is not responsible for their contents.
Note 2 Some dealers have Michelle listed on Jet Li's Fearless. You may want to confirm with the dealer before making the purchase since Michelle's scenes are cut out from the film and only certain director-cut version includes her cameo scenes.
