Hong Kong's reigning queen of action films, Michelle (Supercop: Police Story III) Yeoh, toplines this fun, period martial arts film, unique in its stylistic approach to both violence and sexual politics. Yeoh essays the role of Yim Wing Chun, a real-life historical figure who created the film's titular kung fu style. The picture's thin plot involves Wing Chun's befriending of a down-on-her-luck widow whose innocent beauty drives the town's men into a frenzy, leading Wing Chun to wonder whether or not she's traded in her femininity for her position as the top fighter in town. Things get complicated when Wing Chun's childhood sweetheart (Iron Monkey's Donnie Yen) comes into town, accidentally mistaking the widow for his ten-year-old lost love, setting a series of comic relationships in motion. A troublemaking gang of sex-starved men is on hand to set up the fight sequences, but the heart of Wing Chun revolves around the theme of what really makes up a strong woman, and the answers the film provides are considerably different from other female action pictures: Not a James Cameron testosterone-driven superbitch, nor a fetishistic male fantasy a la La Femme Nikita, Yeoh has created a true feminine superhero, as well as one of her most memorable performances to date. Veteran director Yuen (Drunken Master) Woo Ping is a master at handling the many kung fu brawls (which are easily the best out of any of Yeoh's pictures), but he maintains a light mood throughout by keeping bloodshed at a minimum, making this one of the very few martial arts movies in which no one is killed. A welcome and refreshing change of pace for period action flicks.

The enormous popularity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," has inspired Miramax to test the market for other upmarket martial arts movies, and their resident kung-fu fan Quentin Tarantino has gone plunging back into the stacks of classics to "present" a beautifully restored version of "Iron Monkey." This 1993 film, produced by the action master Tsui Hark, is seen in all its 35mm glory.

The film includes a young version of Wong Fei-hong, whose adult exploits were chronicled in "The Legend of Drunken Master," a 1994 Jackie Chan film released in 2000 by Miramax's Dimension division. He was a 19th century folk hero who ranged the Chinese countryside doing, one suspects, very few of the things he is seen doing in this film. (For that matter, in "Iron Monkey" he is played by Tsang Sze-man, a girl.) One of his specialties was "drunken fighting," in which, by pretending to be drunk, he could loosen himself up enough to be a better fighter.

The Karate Kid movie franchise spans five films, including sequels and a remake, and here are all of them ranked from worst to best. The first of The Karate Kid movies introduced the characters of Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and his karate sensei/best friend Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita), who are now among the most beloved movie heroes in pop culture, and their dynamic continued for two more films, 1986's The Karate Kid Part II and 1989's The Karate Kid Part III. Morita then headlined 1994's The Next Karate Kid without Macchio but alongside a new co-star, Hilary Swank, who played Julie Pierce, Mr. Miyagi's second student. 16 years later, The Karate Kid brand was resurrected for a 2010 remake that starred Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, which marked the end of The Karate Kid movies (for now).

Against all odds, The Karate Kid 2010 succeeds by being true to the core essence of the original film while creating winning characters in its own right. Jaden Smith is a charismatic and likable lead as Dre, but Kung-fu master Jackie Chan delivers a remarkably resonant dramatic performance as Mr. Han, who has his own demons he overcomes through his friendship with the American boy. The kung-fu in the film is truly impressive and light years beyond anything in the prior Karate Kid movies, and the remake also finds novel ways for Mr. Han and Dre to flip the classic tropes of how Mr. Miyagi trained Daniel.
