You’ll Never Believe What Went on Behind the Scenes of These Award-Winning Films

Initially, Kung Fu choreographer Wo-Ping Yuen refused to work on the film. He demanded an outrageous fee in hopes it would deter the Wachowskis, which it didn’t. He then proposed what he assumed would be an impossible request to fulfill: he would only agree to work on the film if he was able to train with the actors for four months prior to the shoots and had total control over the fight scenes. To his surprise, the Wachowskis complied.
