Woo-Ping Yuen

Role: 

Drunken Master

Unable to see eye to eye with his father, completely broke and with nowhere else to turn, young Wong Fei-Hung (Jackie Chan) grudgingly accepts the tutelage of Su Hua Chi (Siu Tien Yuen), a notoriously intoxicated martial arts master. Su Hua Chi teaches Wong the techniques of Drunken Boxing, an unusually fluid fighting style. Wong is then forced to put his new skills to the test when his father is targeted by deadly assassin Thunderleg (Jang Lee Hwang), who has never lost a fight.

Wing Chun

Martial arts expert Wing Chun (former Miss Malaysia, Michelle Yeoh, star of Supercop and Tomorrow Never Dies) battles bandits in this magical film that provides as many laughs as it does wallops. Besides horse thieves, Wing Chun must deal with the men around her who simply can't handle a strong, independent woman. Ultimately, she must dish out "lessons" again and again until the respect for her remarkable skills is finally won. Be careful though, if her stunning beauty does not bring you to your knees, her drop kick will!
