He was also involved in "Kill Bill: Vol. 2" as the stunt/fight coordinator.
According to Stack Gamer, "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2: The Green Legend" was based on book 5 of the "Crane-Iron Pentalogy" series by Wang Du Lu with the title "Iron Knight, Silver Vase," the same book series which served as the groundwork for the original 2000 movie.

Fans have talked about the upcoming flick and kayne-3 commented on IMDb that, "I hope they don't mess it up. It's got Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh in it so I am very positive about it so far. I would like to see what the story is though."
Anderson Karamazov said, "I'm curious as to how much Netflix is willing to gamble."
"Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2: The Green Legend" will premiere on Aug. 28 on Netflix and in IMAX.
