In 2008, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes ranked Michelle Yeoh as the best action heroine of all time. The site supported their choice by mentioning Yeoh’s willingness to perform her own stunts and her unforgettable roles opposite action icons like Jet Li and Jackie Chan.

Audiences can see Yeoh currently in the box-office hit Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but then again, Yeoh’s career is full of blockbusters. From critically acclaimed classics like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to rom-coms like Crazy Rich Asians, Yeoh is a star in every sense of the word, and her iconic resumé is proof enough.

10 Sunshine – 77%

Danny Boyle’s 2007 thriller, Sunshine, is one of the most underrated sci-fi movies of the 2000s. The film, which tells the story of a dangerous mission to reignite the dying sun, stars an ensemble cast that includes Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Rose Byrne, and Yeoh, among others.

Yeoh plays Corazon, a biologist in charge of the ship’s “oxygen garden.” Sunshine received positive reviews from critics, who praised the action, writing, and performances. However, the movie was a commercial flop, grossing only $34 million at the international box office, according to BoxOfficeMojo.

9 The Heroic Trio – 80%

Yeoh first rose to prominence in Hong Kong before her arrival in Hollywood with Tomorrow Never Dies. In 1992, she starred in the Hong Kong action thriller The Heroic Trio as one-third of the titular group.

The movie follows three women who must save their city from an evil crimelord and the invisible woman who steals babies for him. Yeoh plays Ching, the invisible woman who’s also the Evil Master’s right hand and enforcer. The movie received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising its daring nature and the actresses’ performances.

8 Executioners – 80%

The following year, Yeoh reunited with her co-stars from The Heroic Trio for a sequel titled Executioners. The movie takes place in a post-apocalyptic world and sees the trio reuniting to fight against an evil genius controlling the government and the water supply.

Like its predecessor, Executioners received positive reviews from critics. Many actually considered it an improvement over The Heroic Trio.

7 Kung Fu Panda 2 – 81%

Kung Fu Panda 2 turns 10 years old in 2021, and it remains a beloved modern classic. The sequel to 2008’s Kung Fu Panda continues the story of Po, a bumbling panda and kung fu enthusiast who travels to Gongmen City to stop an evil peacock from conquering China.

Yeoh plays Soothsayer, a goat fortune teller from Gongmen City. Kung Fu Panda received acclaim from critics, who praised the animation, action, and comedy but criticized the story’s familiarity. Like its predecessor, Kung Fu Panda 2 was a critical and commercial success, grossing $660 million at the box office and earning an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature.

6 Far North – 83%

Yeoh is only one of three credited performers in 2007’s Far North. Based on a short story by British writer Sara Maitland, the movie follows Saiva and her adoptive daughter as they find and heal a wounded soldier while living in isolation in the Arctic.

Michelle Krusiec and Sean Bean play Saiva’s daughter and the soldier, respectively. Far North screened at several film festivals in 2007, receiving mostly positive reviews. Critics praised the film’s unforgiving and daring nature, calling it “eerie” and “confronting.”

5 The Tai Chi Master – 86%

The Tai Chi Master, another 1993 film, sees Yeoh co-starring with another action icon, Jet Li, who also produced the movie. It tells the story of two pupils at a Shaolin temple who follow different paths in life, eventually arriving at one last confrontation.

Yeoh plays Siu-Lin, a young woman searching for her husband. Reviews for the movie were positive, with critics praising the action and the chance of seeing Li at its prime. Like Yeoh, Jet Li also found success in American action movies, and the two would co-star again years later in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

4 Master Z: Ip Man Legacy – 89%

Master Z: Ip Man Legacy is a spin-off of the successful Ip Man series released in 2018. The movie follows Cheung Tin Chin, a martial arts expert who tries to lead a regular life after being defeated by the Ip Man before triad leaders lure him back into fighting.

In the movie, Yeoh plays Tso Ngan Kwan, the leader of an organized crime syndicate who wants to turn it into a legitimate business. Master Z: Ip Man Legacy co-stars Dave Bautista and Max Zhang. It received positive reviews from critics, who noted its departure from previous entries in the series.

3 Crazy Rich Asians – 90%

2018 was a banner year for Yeoh. Aside from Master Z, the actress also co-starred in the romantic comedy Crazy Rich Asians, an adaptation of the 2013 novel of the same name. The movie follows Rachel, a Chinese-American teacher who discovers her boyfriend Nick’s family is among the richest in Singapore. Yeoh plays Eleanor, Nick’s domineering mother.

Crazy Rich Asians received universal acclaim, with critics praising its tone, performances, and visual spectacle. For her role in the film, Yeoh received some of the best reviews of her career. Many critics singled her out in their comments about the film, considering her role worthy of a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

Yeoh plays Ying Nan, one of the smartest characters in Shang-Chi, and the protector of the legendary village of Ta Lo.

Widely considered a masterpiece by critics and fans alike, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon remains Yeoh’s highest-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes. The plot follows a warrior and his lover’s attempt to recover Green Destiny, his stolen sword. Chow Yun-Fat and Zhang Ziyi co-star alongside Yeoh.
