Silver Hawk (Chinese: 飞鹰) is a 2004 superhero film directed by Jingle Ma and starring Michelle Yeoh, Richie Jen, Luke Goss, Brandon Chang and Michael White. Yeoh plays the title character, a masked comic book style heroine who rides a motorcycle, saves kidnapped pandas and uses her martial arts moves on the bad guys. The masked heroine theme dates back to Huang Ying, a 1948 Shanghai book by Xiao Ping. A Hong Kong-Chinese co-production, the film was originally called The Masked Crusader in English but the title was changed because the war in Iraq has charged "crusader" with negative meaning.
