Question: This actress was among the first generation of Asian entertainers to gain entry into the American collective consciousness. Answer: Who is Michelle Yeoh? Glad you asked. Michelle Yeoh can be seen “acting” in upcoming movies with Brendan Fraser and Vin Diesel. The term “acting” is used quite liberally when your movies involve the lead from Encino Man and the lead from The Pacifier. Both men have the superhero-like effect of reducing your IQ just by their mere presence.

Her two roles are in action movies, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Bablyon A.D. Michelle plays a vindictive sorceress in The Mummy. Judging by the movie still, her secret power involves sharpening knives with her hands. Ouch!

Babylon A.D. sounds like a winner also. The plot, as taken from imdb.com:

Veteran-turned-mercenary Thoorop [Vin Diesel] takes the high-risk job of escorting a woman [Michelle Yeoh] from Russia to China. Little does he know that she is host to an organism that a cult wants to harvest in order to produce a genetically modified Messiah.

Sounds like Species. Michelle was quite the martial artist and looking at the above photo, she kicks more butt in Bablyon A.D. However, I prefer my own plot wherein Michelle stars as Robofist. Robofist has the unique power of a thousand shakings of the fist per second. Sadly, Robofist cannot control when and where these take place. This handicap has led to her dismissals from many jobs, including bartender, tattoo artist and fluffer.
