Customer Reviews of Wing Chun
big fun (other than the subtitles) A great martial arts movie. The story line is funny and entertaining, and the fight scenes are well-executed. There's a bit too much wire-fu for my taste, but there's plenty of non-wire stuff that kept me happy. Michelle Yeoh (sigh) is wonderful, and Donnie Yen has great comedic sense, and both have super kung-fu skills.
The only annoyance was the appallingly bad subtitles, though they're sometimes bad enough to be fun in themselves. They're not up to the standard of the rest of the DVD, though, by a long shot. I have the HK version by Modern Audio Ltd., and I suppose that this issue may be specific to their release. That aside, I heartily recommend the movie.
Good movie, great fun, Michelle Yeoh, enough said.
This is a nice movie even for casual fans of martial arts movies and more serious fans should definitely grab it. It is a period piece, but i feel that it is rather far from being a costume drama. For some excellent Chinese/HK drama, go check out "Raise the Red Lantern" or even some of John Woo's earlier work like "Last Hurrah For Chivalry" (John Woo with swords!). That said, this is an EXCELLENT action flick, fast and humorous with a plot significantly stronger than most Jackie Chan movies. I love the tofu fight scene and although some of the fight scenes verge on the fantastic (i.e. "The Executioners") and are clearly enhanced with cutscenes and camera trickery, the vast majority is good old single-shot martial arts mastery. Michelle Yeoh rocks hard and is finally allowed to look cute at the end of the film (her looking like a man is a running gag most of the way through) but the actress who plays the young widow is just plain beautiful. As noted above, the subtitles are pretty strange. There are 3 soundtracks on this disc, English, Cantonese and Mandarin and while I usually avoid dubs like the plague the subtitles on this film are so horribly done that I prefer the dubs by far. There were several times that people onscreen were laughing at a joke that was just plain nonexistant in the subtitles...it's like they let Babelfish handle the sub translation. Just stick with the english dub and you'll be in for a funny, better-than-average kung-fu experience.
Utter Crap
Main gripe, NOT wing chun in the least. The real martial art isn't practiced at all in the movie that is supposed to show it's formation. Pathetic. even the cover is misleading, in a system where no kicks are delivered above the waist. Also, there are far more entertaining movies starring female martial artists.
