Renowned for his reinvention of Hollywood's approach to action sequences, thanks to his work on The Matrix trilogy and Kill Bill, Yuen Woo-Ping (Iron Monkey) directs Hong Kong superstars Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Donnie Yen (Shanghai Knights; Hero; Blade II) and Tsui Siu-keung (What Price Survival; Tiger On The Beat) in the dazzling Wing Chun.

Wing Chun charts the extraordinary story of the eponymous heroine, the feisty Yim Wing Chun (Michelle Yeoh) who, after learning some basic martial arts principles, develops her own deadly fighting techniques. With her remote village constantly plagued by the pillaging of robbers and bandits, Wing Chun finally loses her cool and decides to use her skills to fight back. Already regarded as being too masculine by the men of her village, Wing Chun's heroic actions stir up even more trouble, especially when her long lost love returns home to the village and becomes involved in a serious case of mistaken identity.

Emotive storytelling, playful comedy and sumptuous period settings are combined with stunning action sequences in this unforgettable film from the undisputed master of action-choreography, Yuen Woo-Ping.

The Special Collector's Edition of Wing Chun will be released on DVD by Hong Kong Legends on 20th September 2004.
