Summary: Great fun
Review: Hilarious story and dialogue, good acting, good martial arts. The Shannon Gee review says Michelle Yeoh doesn't "really" use the Wing Chun style, but that's not entirely true. She does use quite a few moves outside the system, and there's no excuse for having a supposed WC practitioner fly up into the air, but at least half her moves are pure Wing Chun. This is obviously not the best example of WC on film, but there is enough to make a WC student say, "Oh yeah, I know that move!" My previous comment notwithstanding, the high-flying, impossible stunts are mostly kept to a minimum - although there are a few groaners, such as a tofu cake flying around Yeoh in a full circle, with a cartoonish slide-whistle sound effect. And of course, the inevitable 20-foot high jump. I also disagree with another reviewer about the subtitles. I found them quite adequate and funny, and the choice of words doesn't pull any punches.

Summary: Michelle Yeoh is simply amazing!
Review: I actually first watched this film late-night on TNT... I was blown away! Even watching such great theatrical artists like Jackie Chan and Jet Li... I was still amazed! The fight scenes are way over the top (if you are used to Hong Kong cinema, you'll feel right at home), but Yeoh's sheer flexibility and grace is awesome to watch as she fights with swords, sticks, and anything else handy. Admittingly the English dubbing wasn't great (The voices don't seem to match the actors too well in some places and they sound a little strange at times), but the action more than makes up for it! The story is almost comical, as Wing Chun's aunt constantly goads her father into stress-attacks, Badgers Wing Chun about her fighting ways and brings haggling to new levels in her business. Also, over half the town (including Wing Chun's childhood friend who returns from his travels) think Wing Chun is a man. There is a whole lot more going on here, so the best thing to do is just sit back and enjoy a killer martial arts flick!

Summary: a really really entertaining movie
Review: I think I prefer this to supercop. If you want to see more of Michelle, this is a classic. The fight scenes are really cool (even a couple "announce-your-moves-before-you-do-them" moments). There is a lot of humor on this disc also, so get ready for a more off-beat jackie chan type adventure than a serious ang lee fest. The basic story is: Chun and her sister run a failing tofu stand, they adopt a pretty widow, and have to defend the stand from a group of bandits. A comedy of errors ensues when 2 men show up and confuse the 3 women. But who cares about plot. there are some strong fights. There is a particularly memorable fight involving the defense of a large tofu. Add this with a couple chan and li movies and you have the start of a great kung fu collection. The subtitles are great.

Summary: Michelle kicks big time!
Review: I think Michelle's background as a former ballerina helped her make the fight scenes more artistic. Some kung fu movies tend to suffer from campiness in my opinion. This movie, however, has many good elements of the martial arts. The famous wooden dummy fight scene, the soybean flicks, and the mid-air spear fights are worth watching

Summary: The last and only video of master Wong available!!!
Review: If you are interested in Ving Tsun (wing chun) or you are a practitioner of it, this is a DVD you need to have. Here you can see master Wong in action. Learn more about the WSL way. No nonsense combat. Great video!!!! I wish the sequal was available, but it is never sold....

Summary: Best period Kung-fu comedy ever.
Review: If you like chinese costume dramas, you won't find a better one than Wing Chun. It features lots of well choreographed fight sequences, a five-sided love triangle, and several good sight gags. Although it is a comedy, it still makes it's gentle point about sexism (the movie is against it). That and its subtle moral about true love flavor but don't interfere with the kung-fu that is the real reason most people will want to see this film. The DVD also has trailers for some other films, and bios of the director and major stars, and your choice of dubbing or subtitles. I like to put English dubbing and English subtitles on, and marvel at the translation differences revealed. Both is better than either one alone. END

Summary: Miramax? Dimension? Columbia Tristar? Sony Pictures Classic?
Review: Is this awesome Yuen Wo Ping movie ever going to be re-released
since Tai Seng stoped production of it on DVD??? Quentin
Tarintino please work your magic like you did with Iron Monkey.
And get more Sonny Chiba flicks on DVD production while you are
at it! (*hint* Rolling Thunder *hint*) 4 stars due to lame ending. Should have been Donnie Yen and
Michelle Yeoh together fighting as a team against the guy that
carried a big spear because they were then married. This would
have been the transforming breaking ground for Yeoh's charecter.
Anyway this is Yeoh's best film!
