haha i just went to my chinese dvd store place and found prodigal son direct by sammo hung(another wc guy) and it’s good. You people should pick it up but the fighting in there seems more old old school wing chun rather than the simplified system most of us practise today.
actuallyi shouldn’t say simplified. i mean that well i guess it’s just fighting like a kung fu movie! blah basically more moves but it’s not as scientific i guess as modern wc.
not as scientific? bah!
You just need to watch the detailed explainations in “warriors two” also by samo. It’s so scientific it’s got robots!
lol at the tin man.
does anyone know if there was a warrios 1
no no no
in the film the two warriors fight the evil mantis boss! its how many fighters not how many films.
Prodigal Son rocks.
Think of it as “classical” wingchun. I wish mine looked that pretty! 
I read an article in which Sammo explained the difficulties of fitting WC into the 1-2-3 type choreography they do for the movies. He also apparently thought good WC didn’t look good for a camera because the techniques are so small so they had to exagerate a bit for Prodigal Son. That said Lam Ching Ying as Lueng Yee Tai was cool as ice.
Did he play with fire??
:eek: <– Cause he kinda looked like this guy with no eyebrows!
I couldn’t figure out what made him look so weird for the longest time!
Another movie
FWIW, I found Invincible Shaolin by the Shaw brothers. It has the
“Yung Chun” style in it. It’s not as good as the other 2 mentioned here. But they have a crazy 6 leg dummy in it- kind of interesting. This guy’s opponent in the final fight scenes is a really good kicker, so his Sifu had him train on this contraption. There’s also what looks like to my untrained eye a
S. Mantis guy.

It’s because in the opera, shaving the eyebrows makes it easier to apply all the face paints, etc.. Especially if the actor had to play female roles.
yeah i thought the no eyebrow thing was pretty weird to. man they just don’t make those classic kung fu movies today. now it’s all super wushu tricks! no hardcore kung fu. the last good kf movie i saw was iron monkey that was produced recently!
Once Upon a Time in China and America has Joe Sayah in it. Who is a master of the Traditional Wing Chun System, he’s the evil boss guy at the end (ie. big cowboy boots with spikes).
