Okay... a little off topic (not Wing Chun), but the Ong Bak post reminded me of another very cool movie, "Musa - The Warrior."
It's an epic Korean movie set in the 14th century about an envoy of men (a few soldiers and a couple of diplomats) that are sent to China on a mission, but are arrested before reaching their destination, and are sent into exile. They end up battling fierce Mongolian armies and rescue a Ming Princess, and there are plenty of serious battle sequences.
It's beautifully photographed, and there is a lot of great swordplay and in particular, some very cool spear fighting.
I highly recommend it!
