This box set features a collection of titles from the master of modern-day action choreography, Yuen Woo-Ping.

Iron Monkey Platinum Edition:
One of the most visually spectacular films ever produced by a Hong Kong studio, this is a traditional epic style movie boasting fight choreography by Yuen Woo Ping, action director of "The Matrix", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Kill Bill vol 1" and soon-to-be Hollywood star Donnie Yen. This film is credited by fans and critics as containing some of the most intricte and technically difficult fight action ever shot for the screen.

Set in the late Ching Dynasty, 'the film depicts the life of legendary herbal doctor Dr Yang, whose high-kicking alter-ego "Iron Monkey", protects the poor and needy against the barbaric excesses of the corrupt political regieme. Relentlessly pursued by the goverment's most accomplished fighters, Yang must utilize all his skills to avoid capture and protect his people.

Tai Chi Boxer:
An enchanting tale of love and heroism underpinned by Yuen Woo-ping's dazzling fight sequences, Tai Chi Boxer tells the story of a young fighter inspired by the teachings of his heroic father, to combat the violent excesses of an opium-smuggling ring and win the heart of the girl of his dreams.

Tai Chi Boxer is an outstanding tribute to the innovative genius of Yuen Wo Ping, combining striking imagery, compelling characters and amazing fight sequences.

Wing Chun:
Yim Wing Chun (Michelle Yeoh) is a feisty woman living in a remote village plagued by bandits. She's regarded as too 'masculine' by the men of the village who prefer women to be demure but when Wing Chun finally loses her cool and defeats the criminals, her heroic actions just stir up even more trouble!

Hyper-kinetic action from the action-director of 'The Matrix' and 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' allied to emotive storytelling and playful comedy makes 'Wing Chun' an unforgettable movie experience!
