I personally think of Hero of Swallow as almost a dress rehearsal for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as the former has scenes that easily remind me of the latter.

It's almost ironic that Jet and Donnie's careers ended up being opposites. Donnie never really got the early recognition that Jet got but has since become an international star, while Jet started off strong and, recently, has starred in some pretty horrendous films, tarnishing his own cinematic legacy.
