## Trivia

* Michelle Yeoh would later voice Master Chow in Illumination's Minions: The Rise Of Gru (despite that film coming out first) who teaches the three main Minions (Stuart, Kevin and Bob) kung-fu, another japanese martial art.
* Despite what you think, she is not Hank's love interest or his girlfriend, while they romantically flirt at one point in the movie, their romance does not expand after that, meaning that flirt was likely a joke at those romantic flirt moments in many movies.
* She for sure had a husband but it's likely dead at this point, as he doesn't appear in the movie and she is usually alone likely confirming it, it's unknown if she will get remarried/have a step-husband in the future.
