The movie chronicles the good deeds he does for the people of Foshun, using his wits, charm, and frankly insane martial arts to defend his people.Īnd when I say insane martial arts, I mean it! Wing Chun, as the style is called, is absolutely off the chain in terms of speed and skill, just check out this clip of Yen performing it in the movie, say whaaaaat! Ip Man was born in Foshun, China in 1893, and had a young family by the time the Imperial Japanese Army brutally occupied China during the Second World War.
I almost went for Sleeping Dogs’ protagonist Wei Shen, the undercover Hong Kong copper who we all know and love, but instead I’m going for an absolute legend over in China, Ip Man, from the movies of the same name and played in the movies by the amazing Donnie Yen.
So here’s to Chun Li, the ultimate Chinese badass! I always enjoyed playing Chun Li because she’s fast, has cool moves and could double jump off the edges of the screen, which was always a cool move to pull on your unwitting foes! This Chinese fighter is something of a legend, part of Street Fighter’s roster since the golden days of the arcade. I do think, however, that I’ll go with the world of video games’ golden girl herself, master of the helicopter kick and owner of the fighting genre’s most deadly thigh muscles, Chun Li! There are so many kickass, amazing ladies from geekdom who hail from Asia, talk about a hard question to begin with! Question 1 – Who is your favourite female character from this continent?
