Movie Review: Wing Chun (1994)
Enter Abacus Fong. She’s Wing Chun’s aunt and also her business partner. She always carries an abacus to calculate everything to her gain and her breath is as smelly as stinky tofu. And every sentence that comes out from her mouth is inauspicious. Together with Scholar Wong, they serve as comedic relief throughout this movie.
3. Every movie needs an eye candy.
And she’s the ultimate damsel in distress, Charmy. Lost her husband in the beginning of the movie, Wing Chun took her in and she revealed that her dream is to find a man who loves her, marries him, bear his children, raise them and hope her children will take care of her when she’s old.
But that doesn’t stop Wing Chun from ogling her from top to bottom and back.
Dreamy much, Wing Chun?
4. Childhood love/Fiancé
Enter Leung Pok-to. Coming back to the village after 10 years, he mistakenly took Charmy as Wing Chun and the three of them got involved in a funny mistaken-identity love-triangle situation.
It’s kind of refreshing to see Donnie Yen in a supporting role i.e less fighting, more comedic performance. Although it’s funny to see Wing Chun kicks lumps into Pok-to left and right, when in RL, Donnie Yen is a high-level mixed martial artist and Michelle Yeoh is not.
5. Fighting scenes
The action sequences are creative and wildly entertaining. Excellently showcases Michelle’s impressive physical skills from the beginning in her fight with the bandits to the final battle with the head of the bandits, Flying Chimpanzee.
The highlight of the fighting scenes is a stunning sequence where Wing Chun fights while balancing a tray of tofu in the air. The awful stuffs the bad guy said beforehand makes the victory even sweeter.
Conclusion: This is a happy little movie where no one dies. What a way to unwind during the weekend. (mso-bidi-font-family:"Cambria Math"">≧∇≦)/
