ok people,a little help/advice from you all.if you were going
to see a kung fu film tonight that was wing chun based,what
would you like to see.that style versus other styles?[ie
karate/jiu jitsu/western boxing].would you like to see wing
chun in a modern setting or old?[or both].and what has been
missing from most wing chun films you’ve seen so far.
any and all comments appreciated how ever odd/random/personal.
and most importantly, lots of fighting, WC vs everything possible i’d be neato to have real fighting in the movie as opposed to fake choreographed stuff… but i dono if thats possible
I think if you make a movie with REAL wing chun (or any other art, for that matter) nobody will want to see it. Real stuff isn’t good for movies; flying and ripping people’s hearts out and stopping bullets with your iron shirt is good for movies. And that’s ok, movies should be fun and not education :D.
Still… I’d like to see a movie with my sifu performing Chum Kiu, coz that just may be the only way I’ll ever get to see the second form
Obviously, an update to Fist of Fury, where the hero (played by Fabio) walks into the top BJJ school in Brazil and beats everyone up with chain punching without getting taken to the ground once. Afterwards he makes two of the guys eat a set of Gracie Jiu Jitsu gi patches, saying “this time it’s patches, next time it’ll be mats”.
that’s very useful guys,and thank you.now to the other 90
naughty people who read this thread and never bothered,
yah boo to you.you really must make the effort.go on,take
the 20 seconds to answer.
i’d like to see something quite serious but still a little stupit. lots of good wing chun taking out various people. or even two wing chun students have to fight it out cos one is evil and obviously the good one wins and gets the girl.
The hero NEVER gets the girl in a decent KF movie. The hero and heroine have always been feeling unrequited love/lust for each other for about 20 years, but for various ridiculous reasons have never been able to express their love for each other while the old Sifu is alive. After the Sifu dies (usually violently or via some TCM poison at the hands of his arch enemy), they have a chance to get together but something always happens to mess it up so they must mourn what might have been through all eternity.
Check out “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “Wing Chun” with Michelle Yeoh for two typical examples.
To see a good wing chun practitioner take out 2 grappler/ bjjs guys. Just to irritate the hell out of grappling/ bjj guys. It could be the only fight scene in the movie. Actually it could happen at the beginning and the rest of the movie could be a love story for all i care .LOL.
In reality lets see the wing chun guy get into a fight in a small elvevator or a crowded dance floor,or a crowded nyc subway car at rush hour. All the places where close range fighting should work very well, but he absolutely has to beat up a grappler just to irritate the bjj/ grappling guys.
And he learned how to fight at a “cult school with a wall of shame”.
How about a movie where Dr Evil takes up Choy Li Fut and decides to stomp every WC organisation out of existence?
William Cheung, Emin Boztepe, and Leung Ting band together with Benny Meng and Robert Chu to defeat the CLF hordes. Afterwards, the Wing Chun universe is unified under the stewardship of these five gentlemen in a spirit of loving, cooperative grace.
Far fetched? No more than that story of the WC guy beating up two grapplers…
I’m actually South African of Scotch/Irish & German descent, and haven’t had the goat for a while 8) Old Jong, on the other hand, well I hear he’s pure laine with a smokin’ long Fu Manchu… 8P
Yeah, I am very “pure laine” my ancestor came to “nouvelle France” in 1606 or something and had to work in his field on ile d’orlean,facing Quebec city,with his long rifle by his side because of the iroquois who were always looking for somebody to burn alive and dance around.His sister Elaine became Samuel de Champlain’s wife (lake Champlain?..)I have also some irish,scottish and indian blood but who cares?..We all can trace our origins in a small australopithecus afarensis named Lucy who was living in Africa maybe 4 millions years ago. Now,that’s pure laine en tabarnac!
Thanks for your comment Matrix.
whenever three or more french canadians are gathered at
the same website,then they shall perform the dead parrot
sketch.
“it is a dead parrot,it has ceased to be”.
