Mr. Sohal met Ang Lee at BAFTA, Piccadilly, London when he was giving a talk about his life in pictures.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.


This Wuxia (martial hero) film was directed by Ang Lee. The cast includes Yun-Fat Chow, Michelle Yeoh, Ziyi Zhang, and Chang Chen. The film tells the story of a young female warrior Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), who is entrusted to deliver a renowned swordsman's legendary Green Destiny sword, which is four hundred years old, to Governor Yu (Fazeng Li). However, once it has been delivered, a masked thief steals it. This leads Yu Shu Lien into a romantic adventure, where passions run high.
