Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

bob the moo Kim Wing Chun is a skilled kung fu master; well "mistress" to be correct, although you wouldn't know it since she dresses like a man and has no interest in the opposite sex. She helps her Aunt Abacus (whose bad breath and language ensure she is also alone) in their tofu shop – and they get extra help when they take in a beautiful widow Charmy. Charmy is a hit with the male members of the town but unfortunately it isn't all for the best since this includes a local group of bandits and also Wing Chun's long lost love, who mistakes Charmy for Wing Chun and mistakes Wing Chun for her own male lover.There are some viewers here who seem to have taken a dislike to this film on the basis that nobody could ever mistake a woman (in particular such a beautiful woman) for a man simply because of clothing. It seems a fair point but from my point of view this device was good enough for Shakespeare to use it several times so it is probably good enough for the plot of a comic martial arts movie. Those expecting it to be a serious affair though, should look elsewhere because Wing Chun is knowingly silly and fine with it. The plotting is silly but it carries it with a constant sense of fun that is through the dialogue, characters and action. There are loads of innuendo and flirty comedy that is enjoyably light and the action is similarly excessive and silly while still being impressive. The wire work is perhaps overdone but mostly it looks good and the fight choreography is slick while the camera doesn't edit around the skill of those involved – although the speeding up of the camera stock seems unnecessary.The performances vary and disappointingly one of the weaker ones comes from one of the names that attracted me to the film – Yen. Yen mugs a bit too much and comes off as too young and too light to be a match for Wing Chun, his comic touch isn't really here either and often it just feels like he is pulling faces. On the other side Yeoh is really good – she judges her character well so that she works in the action and the comedy, working well with whomever she is in the scene with. Yuen King-Tan is a nice change of pace (often the comic side-kick is a man) and although her character is large and loud, she is very funny. Yan is pretty but also works as a comic thanks to her flirting with everyone. Lee, Chu and Chui are also good here. Woo-Ping maybe overdoes the wire work but his direction of the action is solid; on the comedy side he also likes things OTT but for some reason the film's biggest problem is that it has terribly earnest musical tracks running throughout. These give the film an odd tone too often and it does hurt it because it detracts from the light entertainment feel the majority of the content has.Despite this though Wing Chun is actually pretty good. It won't please many purists and it doesn't make the best of Donnie Yen, but it is funny in a silly and flirty way – in particular the three female leads running rings round the men adds something fresh to it. Worth seeing if you are in the mood for good martial arts action within a light entertainment "Carry On" style film.

BA_Harrison The lovely Michelle Yeoh plays Wing Chun, a brilliant martial artist who lives in a tofu shop in a small village, with her aunt, Abacas Fong (King-Tan Yuen). Wing rescues a beautiful woman, Charmy (Catherine Hung), and her sick husband from a gang of bandits that plague the locals. Unfortunately, the husband dies, so the young widow goes to work in the tofu shop, where she attracts many new customers, including local scholar Wong (Waise Lee).Enter Leung Pok-To (Donnie Yen), a fighter who has returned to the village after many years in order to marry his sweetheart, Wing Chun. He believes Charmy to be his wife-to-be and Wing Chun to be a man (because of the clothes she wears—a common plot device in Eastern movies) and this sets the scene for several farcical moments involving mistaken identities and sexual innuendo (including one in which Wong is tricked into bedding Abacus).After much lame smutty comedy, the film returns to the action, with nasty bandit, Flying Monkey (who also has a thing for Charmy) attempting to abduct the pretty tofu girl. However, Wing Chun foils his plot, burning off his tallywhacker in the process!When bandit leader Flying Chimp sees what Wing Chun has done, he kidnaps Charmy and challenges Wing to a duel. Wing wins and Charmy is released, but Wing must return three days later for another bout. If she loses, she must stay in the bandit lair where Flying Chimp hopes to 'tame' the beautiful fighter.With its talented cast and proficient director (Yuen Woo-Ping), I had high hopes for Wing Chun. Unfortunately, the film didn't live up to my expectations, ending up as a pretty average mix of silly comedy and over-the-top martial arts sequences that rely far to heavily on clever editing and Woo-Ping's trademark wire-fu trickery.I do not deny that Wing Chun is pretty inoffensive fun and there are worse ways to spend your time, but with a film starring two of my favourite HK stars, Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen, I was really hoping for something special.

Dan Starkey if you see one kung fu movie, make it Wing Chun. Michelle Yeoh is funny and graceful in an extremely enjoyable entertainment. Donnie Yen plays the straight man. But not for kids as it has some "adult themes." If you like this one, check out Jet Li in "Fong Sai Yuk."

chowyunsu 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.
