FROM THE RENOWNED ACTION DIRECTOR OF "CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON", "THE MATRIX" TRILOGY AND "KILL BILL"

 

Before Yuen Woo Ping left Hong Kong to forever change the face of Hollywood action he left a legacy of extraordinary films that have now been brought together into an unmissable box set from Hong Kong Legends.

 

The EPIC ACTION COLLECTION is headed up with the extraordinary IRON MONKEY starring international superstars Donnie Yen (Blade 2; Shanghai Knights; Hero) and Yu Rong Kwong (Shanghai Noon; The Warrior). Many fans of Yuen Woo Ping consider the astonishing combat scenes as some of the most intricate and technically proficient fight action that he has ever filmed.

 

The wonder continues with the dazzling WING CHUN where Yuen Woo Ping directs Hong Kong superstars Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Donnie Yen and Tsui Siu-keung (What Price Survival; Tiger On The Beat). Emotive storytelling, playful comedy and sumptuous period settings are combined with stunning action sequences in this unforgettable film.

 

Book-ending the collection is Yuen Woo Ping's classic TAI CHI BOXER starring the stunning Christy Chung and British martial arts sensation Darren Shahlavi. Again the innovative visceral genius of the action master is brought to new acrobatic highs in this enchanting tale of love and heroism.
