4.0 out of 5 stars Kung-fu Chick-flick..., 4 April 2001
By tp8326@bristol.ac.uk (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This film gave me a nice surprise to find it had an emphasis on the female side of kung-fu. The action was still as fast and furious as any other of Yuen Woo-Ping's films and if the choreography had been that much better (obvious speeding up in some parts, strings occasionally over-used), I would have rated this film 5 stars.

The plot is true to the story of how Wing Chun Kung Fu left South Shaolin Temple to be taught to the general public, which is interesting from a historical point of view. The storyline does become a bit tedious at times however, as the usual 'misinterpreted identity' plot device which appears in many Hong Kong movies becomes a bit over-used. Never-the-less I expected nothing more.

The overall quality of the film is increased by the skill and presence of other top-grade performers such as Donnie Yen, although Michelle Yeoh still gives as good as she gets with a show comparable to that in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. For people who are interested in Kung-fu films as a genre, or interested in the feminine side of martial arts, then this film is guaranteed to please. It is also unique in showing Wing Chun Kung Fu in use; a style not often included in such films because of the more popular North Shaolin style.
