**Yuen Woo-Ping** : better known in Hollywood as a fight choreographer (you’ve seen his work in the _Matrix_ movies, the _Kill Bill_ movies, _Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon_, …), he was also the director of classic kung fu movies like _Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow_ and _Drunken Master_ as well as more recent ones like _Iron Monkey_. ---

The Wenders documentary with the directors is Chambre 666 (Room 666). It’s really good. I don’t exactly hate the later-period Scorsese, I just find them a bit hollow and glossy. He’s got mad skills as a director but seems to make the same movie, tonally, repeatedly. I haven’t seen Silence yet; it just barely got a release.
