A semi-biographical account of Yip Man, the first martial arts master to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun. (Dude who taught Bruce Lee I think).

Check out a few fight scenes (spoilers I guess).

This is some old 8mm footage of him a week before he died of cancer, filmed in order to preserve some Wing Chun movements for future generations.

Ordered this a couple of days ago. my bro has watched it and say's it awesome.

Donny Yen is brilliant!! His martial arts in 'SPL' are off the hook.
 
I got this on dvd a few months back, really enjoyed it. SPL(I think outside of Asia it's called something stupid like Kill Zone) is one I enjoyed more though, standout fight sequences in this.

There is an IP sequel on the way.
 
I watched this last night and thought it was an excellent film.

I'm not a kung fu film aficionado but do like the odd martial arts film (mostly Jackie Chan, well, in his earlier days).

Also i'm not really a fan of wu shu (???) but this film did it right imo. Also I like the fact that Donny Yen said that he didn't like prancing about and showing off and just wanted to get down to fighting.
 
I watched Kill Zone last night and thought it was pretty dire. A poor attempt at Police Story without the class stunts, fights and comedy.
