Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Wing Chun is a memorable film because Michelle Yoeh epitomizes the female heroine at a time when it was not allowed for women to be as strong or in this case, stronger and smarter and more skilled than men. But Michelle Yeoh creates a memorable and competent impression while maintaining a masterful grace and precision that will blow your mind.Michelle Yeoh has the posture and grace of Bruce Lee, now if only they had done a movie together... now that would be something, like Salvador Dali's short animation collaboration with Walt Disney, what a treat that would be.* I saw this movie years ago and finally discovered it again after long searching and am I glad I did rediscover this little gem.This movie truly takes me back in time to a simpler time, like finding a diamond in between the millions of grains of sand on the endlessness of beach.Much of the acting is really silly, but that's just the way these movies were back then. The martial arts are terrific, the sex appeal is palpable, Tofu is gorgeous, drop dead, and the story is very enjoyable.*Dali and Disney started a project in 1946 but it was never finished in their lifetimes, recently completed in 2003, many of us are long awaiting a DVD release slated for 2004, and still waiting in 2007.

I watched this over the weekend and enjoyed it. It was indeed a light action/comedy and lived up to that.Michelle Yeoh,Donnie Yen, and Norman Chu were very fun to watch in their fights (Wing Chun, Pok To, and Flying Monkey, respectively.)King-Tan Yuen has won me over with her Abacus Fong, Wing Chun's aunt. Love her! The smart, canny businesswoman who finds who she wants to marry- yeah, a caricature, but carried off with fun acting chops and good writing for the character. It was fun and a feather in the cast and crew's cap. Yet...*SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! The Following Is A PLOT POINT That Angers Me!*Yes, it's a period piece. Yes, women who work out get muscular. Yes, Wing Chun chose to dress in men's clothing. But her Fiancé couldn't tell who she was?!?I know that the conventional idea is that Asian ladies seem to age slower, but for Pok to think that his fiancé would wear the exact same clothes for TEN YEARS, that she wouldn't age any in that time, and that the actual Wing was *a MAN!* is just angry-making. It was a movie produced in the mid90s, fer heaven's sake! I like mistaken identity comedies- ones that make sense and dovetail with what I see on-screen. That this guy, Pok, was the only one to *continually* believe that the real Wing Chun was a man is just insane- several other characters, had no real problem realizing that Wing was a female, just a freaky one (to their way of thinking.)It was a point that made the movie lessen in my estimation of it. Pok is supposed to be "educated" as shorthanded by him studying martial arts for six years and a passing mention or two of him working for a city official in a Big City. Yeah, he's been busy and has gauzy, schmoopy memories of "his" Wing Chun, but his twigging to the truth in the las half hour was just.... let's just say disappointing. I was rooting for Bandit Warlord #1/Flying Monkey to win. At least he knew Wing Chun was a female and respected her prowess. *END OF SPOILER SECTION- END OF SPOILER SECTION-END OF SPOILER SECTION*Overall, I recommend this movie, as it is fun. I just had to vent on that one bit. As for other Michelle Yeoh recommendations:The Heroic Trio, and its sequel, The Executioners; Royal Warriors; Magnificent Warriors;The Soong Sisters (a period piece that's a biopic)

Yong Chun/Whing Chun(1994) contains action scenes which are brilliantly Staged and amazingly depicted. Many of the scenes with Michelle Yeoh are examples of why she is the Queen of Hong Kong action films. She is an action star to which many aspiring action heroines looks up to her. Michelle Yeoh combines earthiness beauty with physical endurance as Yim Wing Chun. I show Wing Chun(1994) at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge and became a big fan of the film and the career of Michelle Yeoh.

This was by far Michelle Yeoh's best movie in my opinion. As being a Wing Chun practitioner I felt that she did an excellent job at portraying the simple yet economical movements of the Wing Chun system. I also think that Donnie Yen should also be given praise for his skill level he demonstrated. After all considering his martial arts background, he is on the rise. Another great movie to check out is The Prodigal Son.
