What critics compared Come Drink with Me to
(It was particularly embarrassing, at last year’s New York Film Festival, to see the restored print of the 1965 Hong Kong movie “Come Drink With Me,” directed by King Hu and produced by the Shaw brothers, and to realize how much Lee had lifted from that film and yet how little he captured its spirit.)
Look also for the legendary Cheng Pei-pei, who was in King Hu's Come Drink with Me (1966) and Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).
