Wing Chun (1994)
10/10
Great fun; a genre piece

This is not "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with its subtlety, lyricism, and views about love, freedom and the consequences of one's allegiances.

Wing Chun (Yong Chun) is a light-hearted comedic martial arts movie, and it is a very good one, too.

Michelle Yeoh is amazing, she kicks butt and does so in her trademark elegance. She is never strident, or out-of-control. There is discipline in her acting as well as in her martial arts. The dialogue leaves something to be desired, and is a bit tacky at some points, but again, it's a comedy, so it's pretty easy to take into stride.

The tofu scene, where Wing Chun (Yeoh's character) schools her opponent, is probably one of the best in this film genre.
