One of my students has just purchased some kung fu movies and I was giving her a list of the movies that featured Wing Chun. Besides the obvious ones such as Prodigal Son, Wing Chun and Descendants of Wing Chun, are there any others that have good Wing Chun in them?

I also read a few years back that either one of the Once Upon a Time in China movies was going to or had featured a Wing Chun player in it. Are you familiar with this? I had read an article about the making of this movie, and how they had to fancy-up the Wing Chun fights because of it's tightness and lack of appeal to the camera when filming it. Any other known movies on Wing Chun would be appreciated. Thanks. ;)

Check out Invincible Shaolin (aka Unbeatable Dragon) starring the 5 venoms. Wei Pai (the Snake) learns Wing Chun to counter Sun Chien's (the Scorpion) Northern Shaolin kicks (actually Sun Chien is a TKD stylist but its a Chinese movie :D ) Also, check out Death Chamber. In this film, Ti Lung, a real life Wing Chun stylist, learns the style from Shaolin nun Wu Mei. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your response on the movies. Are these movies you mentioned completely about Wing Chun? Or is there just Wing Chun in the movies? ;)

''Warriors Two'' and the very rare ''Stanger from Shaolin'' both are about Wing Chun.
