  • **An entrancing, amazingly hyperactive comedy-kung fu-feminist celluloid collision turns out to be quite good if massively incoherent. Yuen Woo Ping’s, the martial arts fight choreographer for The Matrix, has created an immaculate series of heart pounding fights that bolster the silly plot(s). The film, even for its lack of coherence, is thoroughly entertaining and incredibly fast paced; throwing every possible idea onto celluloid to see what sticks. Wing Chun is a famous kung-fu fighting woman who kicks men butt like most people eat an apple. This makes her none to popular with the male-fu element in her small township where, incidentally, she works as a restaurant hostess. Enter an incredibly beautiful widow, a group of bloodthirsty bandits, an old flame with a case of mistaken identity, her horny aunt and a young scholar vying for various women’s attentions. That entails the first hour of the film and the plot gets more complicated from that point, so I would recommend anyone stop trying to understand anything. Whatever problems Wing Chun is laden with (and there are many) the good nature and immense entertainment value can mask them all and have you grinning by the end. P.S.: The film has atrocious (badly translated) sub-titles that blink on and off the screen so fast you can barely decipher them, so have your finger on the pause button.

Hi, it's your editor here. By 'Interview With A Vampire' did you perhaps mean 'Interview With The Vampire? A movie that is often mis-titled and under-appreciated. Guilty on both counts you are, says Yoda.

Tis fixed.

But I stand behind my opinion, love the first 40 minutes and the concurrent downfall happens about the same time as Cruise leaves. This was the first and only time I have ever uttered this sentence:

Please, bring back Tom Cruise

Tallyho

:?)
