They're probably just cashing in on Donnie Yen's current popularity but it's a film I've never seen and so I'll pick it up.

Was a legitimate release of "Wing Chun" ever brought out on DVD? That's another film I've never seen and would like to.

Yeah, by Hong Kong Legends. It's the best presentation of the film to date. The film itself is pretty good, a great mix of action (led by Michelle Yeoh) and comedy.

As for Butterfly & Sword, it's one of Donnie's weakest efforts imo. The story is decent but if you're looking for great and more grounded weapon fights, avoid it.

Just be warned, apparently the Well Go DVD looks terrible:

Yikes

I think I'll save the $5 total and stick with my old version.

Granted the audience is somewhat limited, but it astounds me they can't find a nice print of this and release it as it originally was with new subs. It was made in 1993! We're not talking a long lost movie from the 70s. Unreal. :squigglemouth:
