Has anyone else seen it?
For those who haven't heard of it, its a new HK martial arts/love story movie which revolves around a mixed martial arts tournament called Star Runner. The main character in the story, Bond enters the tournament having fused together Wing Chun and another style called 'Hong Kuen'. When Bond is being trained, we see him doing chi sau, working the dummy etc. and he is taught by HK screen legend Ti Lung (a student of Chu Wan).
I think this film, in terms of real Wing Chun is probably the only film that even comes close to Prodigal Son...although I must admit, I did see alot of influences from the Rocky series :D
Go see this film now!
(You can buy it from Yesasia.com or even at your local chinatown, on vcd or dvd!)
