Wing Chun in the movies!

[Jada]

Hi,
I was wondering if there are any movies that have wing chun in it? Would like to rent some this weekend. Thanks

Try Prodical Son as one of the best. It's for sale in stores too now for about $9.95

[sihing]

Yes, Prodical Son is good(more of a comedy) and Warriors Two is really good(more serious). Warriors has the best fight scene I have ever seen in a Martial Arts movie. It's based on Dr Leung Jan so it is a Wing Chun Movie, and the actor that plays him plays it perfect. Funny thing is though that the actor doesn't know any kung-fu, he just learns the choreography and goes from there but you wouldn't know it when you see the scene in the middle of the movie were he fights like 20 guys using Wing Chun movements, cool.

You can download most of these movies now off a peer to peer network. Also Invincible Shaolin has some Wing Chun in it too but not done as well as the other two mentioned.

Hey, how about "Stranger from Shaolin"?

She even makes the HK "whoosh, whoosh" noises when doing the SLT! The swords aren't WCK, maybe Hung Gar or Choi Li Fut???

Still a solid HK movie when you suspend belief.

there's gonna be a new movie made in HK about yip man. I think it starts shooting at the end of the year

Also, there's two other movies out there:

Wing Chun with Michelle Yeoh...the only thing about this movie that is good is the fact that Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh are in it. There is no wing chun other than the goat clamp stance. Laf.

And has anyone seen Descendent of Wing Chun? I don't know if it has any Wing Chun in it.

Peace,

I have Decendent of Wing Chun, its not that good though at least not in my opinion, as I've only watched it once so a "No Recommendation" from me.

Decendent has very little Wing Chun, a little dummy and a little pole, and its not very authentic. The movie itself is kinda dumb, kinda funny, seems like it was just thrown together without much thought for plot or substance. I wouldn't recommend paying for this movie, although some might really like it. The movie bloodsport has a bong sao or two in it, chuckle.

There is the whole series of short movies starring Larry, Curly and Moe. They were far ahead of their time.

[old jong]

Moe,with his Randy Williamesque hairdo was already showing a certain Wing Chun image!... ...Or is it the opposite?...

[Waxwood rod]

The marx Bros. were highly developed internal masters as can be seen in their movies.

[old jong]

Bob Hopes and Bing Crosby had a great "patty-cake" to double punches technique in their "Road to" movies serial.

Laurel and Hardy were living examples of the Yin/Yang principle

Fred Astaire had the best footwork ever!

Buster Keaton was the zen figure of silent movies.

give my regards to the golden ribbion boxer or maybe pink ribbion
