From her high-flying kicks within the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” to her unconventional tackle a “Bond woman” in “Tomorrow By no means Dies,” Michelle Yeoh has had a multidecade profession defying stereotypes.

On this dialog, Kara Swisher and Yeoh talk about the movie, which Kara describes as “‘The Matrix’ meets L.S.D. journey.” They chat about how movies like “Loopy Wealthy Asians” have catapulted change in Hollywood, and the way Yeoh’s profession has bridged two of the largest film markets on the planet, from the US to China.
