If you don't like martial arts movies, try this. - By: IanW, 18 Sep 2005 
Why? Apart from the fact that it stars Michelle Yeoh, it's an absolute delight from start to finish.
Wing Chun,played by Yeoh, is the somewhat androgynous protector of a village from a gang of thugs & bullies. She runs a tofu shop with her vivacious & avaricious aunt & befriends & protects a young widow whom its seems every malein the village lusts after uncontrollably. The aunt lusts after the rich, greedy local scholar. A visiting martial artist appearsin search of his childhood sweetheart, mistaking Yeoh for a man & the widow for his sweetheart. At one point Yeoh's own interestin the widow appears somewhat ambiguous.
Cue a romantic comedy of errors plus lots of fighting. It's really a rather sweet film with Yeoh displaying a shy humour & an emotional vulnerability which contrasts with her bravura displays of fighting skills. (The rest of the cast are all fine too.) Despite the fact that at one point Yeoh deliberately roasts a bady guy's genitals, it isn't a violent film, although it doesn't stint on the action either -the methodical demolition of a chauvinist thug while maintaining the integrity of a large plate of tofu is a particular highlight.
Wing Chun (the movie) will leave you with a smile on your face, laughterin your throat, and, if you aren't already, a big fan of Michelle Yeoh.
You'll have to excuse me now, it's fourteen hours since I first watched this movie & I want to see it again.
Worth seeing - By: , 18 Mar 2005 
This film is about a girl that used to be a Tofu Beauty but for some reason as you will discoverin the film became a Kung Fu expert. Its a funny yet serious film & is easy to follow & enjoy. I watch alot of Martial Art films & eastern films & I think this was decent & not at all budget made. Wing chun rescues a girl from bandits & soon this young girl has started working for her & her aunt with foul breath! Very amusing bits to the film, especially getting the dirty old men to line up to speed up sales!
