From Herman Yau – the director of Shock Wave and Ip Man: The Legend Is Born – comes Ip Man: The Final Fight, a fully authorized Ip Man movie which tells the story of Grandmaster Ip Man’s final chapter. Providing an older, and yet still extremely skilled portrayal of Ip Man is Anthony Wong (Infernal Affairs, House of Fury). A lifelong martial arts practitioner, he spent over a year preparing to play the role of Ip Man. Other key cast includes Eric Tsang, Gillian Chung, Marvel Chow, Jiang Luxia, Xiong Xinxin and Ken Lo.
In postwar Hong Kong, Ip Man is reluctantly called into action once more, when what begins as simple challenges from rival kung fu schools, leads to him becoming face to face with the dangerous underworld of the Triads. To defend himself and those he cares about, Ip Man must stand and fight one last time. This masterful...

He's currently starring in Star Wars: Rogue One, but there are some fascinating horrors to be found in Donnie Yen's back catalogue...
After his recent show-stealing turn in Rogue One, it felt like the right time to write a little about Donnie Yen, one of my favourite actors. From his incendiary breakthrough performance in Tiger Cage (1988) to the acclaimed Ip Man trilogy (2009 - 2016), Yen's body of work has earned him a reputation as one of the all-time greatest martial arts stars and action choreographers. His high-energy blend of fighting styles has been hugely influential on the genre both in the east and west, and his charismatic performances have kept him popular with fans for decades.
However, while his kung fu films have been written about extensively, there's not quite as much about his brief forays into my other favourite genre: horror. He's arguably been on...

Superstar martial artists Wu Jing and Tony Jaa are onscreen together for the first time in Spl 2: A Time for Consequences.
Director Pou-Soi Cheang takes over from Wilson Yip as the director this time around, working from a screenplay by Ying Wong and Lai-yin Leung. The film, which now has a festival trailer, sees Jing and Jaa co-star alongside Simon Yam, Ken Lo, and Zhang Jin.
The film’s synopsis is as follows:
Undercover cop Kit (Wu Jing) becomes a junkie in order to catch Mr Hung (Louis Koo), the mastermind behind a crime syndicate. When the operation goes sour and Kit blows his cover, his supervisor and uncle Wah (Simon Yam) decides to terminate the operation. When Kit disappears without a trace, Wah defies the order from his commanding officer and tracks Kit to a prison in Thailand. Thai Police officer Chai (Tony Jaa) becomes a prison guard...

When it comes to making features like this one, i love the idea of coming up with my own personal “100 Great Kung Fu Movies” of all time. It is tough choosing just 100 because you know there are many more great Kung Fu movies that are not on the list.
I understand everyone will have their own personal favorites and some may not agree with my list and that’s fine because it’s nice to have different opinions on this genre which keeps it fresh and alive when having good debates.
Anyway, thank you for taking time to have a look at my 100 Great Kung Fu movie list and feel free to add any movies in the comment box if they don’t make my list (I have probably forgotten many movies).
Number 1 is based on the choreography and overall movie which to me is a prime example of of...

What we lack more and more these days are epic fight scenes in the final part of kung Fu/Martial Art movies. We have seen less and less one on one fight scenes in the final battle over the past 15-20 years, which is a shame but we have seen recently a few flicks bringing that winning formula back.
I want to name a few of my favorite end fight scenes and please feel free to comment below, your favorite fight scenes and maybe they will be added to the future features. I only add fight scenes which i can find the clips for on youtube, so some classics might not be added to the lists.
1.Drunken Master 2 (1994)
Cast:Jackie Chan, Lau Kar Leung, Ti Lung, Anita Mui, Ken Lo, Andy Lau, Mark Houghton
Fight Choreographer: Lau Kar Leung, Jackie Chan

Special ID
Written by Kam-Yuen Szeto
Directed by Clarence Fok
China, 2013
In many ways, Donnie Yen is the star Bruce Lee might have become had he lived longer. Yen was the first star in Hong Kong to use mixed-martial-arts grappling and jiu-jitsu in his fight scenes; Lee, the master of “whatever works,” would have approved. Yen has always been the best actor among his action-movie compatriots; Lee strove for the same, as his surviving writings contain as many meditations on performing and stardom as martial arts. Thus, it’s a little sad to think that Lee would have inevitably made a film like Yen’s 2013 effort Special ID, now playing a limited run in American theaters: while its action scenes are sharp and professionally made, there’s little else about the movie which can say the same.

How much fighting can there be left to see from upcoming Donnie Yen star vehicle Special ID? The onslaught of trailers and clips from the film continues and when they all look as good as this it's awfully hard to complain, though I do really hope that they're holding back some of the big stuff. This time out it's Donnie Yen versus Ken Lo. Check it out below....

Action director Donnie Yen is taking the fierce "Ultimate fighting" style as previously shown in the Hong Kong contemporary crime thriller Spl and Flashpoint to the next level in Clarence Fok's Special ID. For the action design, Yen continues to incorporate a variety of Mixed Martial Arts techniques, fusing not only stand-up striking but also Brazilian jiu-jitsu and grappling to choreograph the brutal street brawl while utilizing great fighting talents such as Ken Lo (Drunken Master II), Andy On (Unbeatable) and Collin Chou (Flashpoint).While the latest behind-the-scenes video feature an interview with the action hero himself without English subtitles, it does however showcase his action directing efforts and it looks pretty damn good. There is also an extended version of the Bts video from last...
