Michelle Yeoh ... Yim Wing Chun
Donnie Yen ... Leung Pok To (as Yen Chi Tan)
King-Tan Yuen ... Abacus Fong
Catherine Hung Yan ... Charmy (as Catherine Hung)
Waise Lee ... Scholar Wong (as Lee Chi Hung)
Norman Chu ... Flying Monkey (as Chui Siu Keung)
Pei-pei Cheng ... Nun Ng Mui - Wing Chun's teacher
i had the pleasure of seeing this and THE HEROIC TRIO on the big
screen in about '96 or so, and both are way fun to see in that medium.
it's a fun story of Yim Wing Chun, the woman who invented the style
named after her. it's pretty flimsy and light, but the fighting is
good (even if actual Wing Chun is barely used) and the comedy actually
made me laugh instead of cringe. there is a lot of sexual innuendo in
the movie though!
the star of course is Michelle Yeoh, who just shines in her role and
again should be a world famous star. King-Tan Yuen is also a scene
stealer as her aunt.
it's too bad this DVD is out of print already.
