[10/1/14] The sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will be released simulataneously on Netflix and Imax. Maybe it'll be more like the sequel to Wing Chun as it will be directed by Yuen Woo Ping (who did the choreography in CTHD) and adds Donnie Yen to the cast. Jason Scott Lee is also in the cast.
[3/8/11] Legend of a Fighter is one of the few YWP movies that I don't have. It's sort of the precursor to Fist of Legend (so one might say Jet Li's Fearless is sort of a remake).
Anyway, my angelfire page links to nowhere, but here is an updated link. As well as the old one via archive.org.
I guess I'll have to put this on my want list. [10/1/14 - I see Legend of a Fighter is on hulu, but no subtitles.]

While googling Yuen Woo Ping, I saw that YWP has directed a new movie call True Legend. Well, not that new, considering the review is dated November 2008.
I was wondering whether my list of Favorite Yuen Woo Ping movies is still up at Amazon. And sure enough, it turned up in a google search for Favorite Yuen Woo Ping movies. (And my old YWP page is still up at angelfire.)
[6/22/10 -- theflyingmachine likes some of the same movies]
But I see it's a little outdated.
Updated DVDs of Fist of Legend have since been released by Dragon Dynasty. So has Twin Warriors (as Tai Chi Master). Both have the Chinese soundtrack included as well as special features.
After Kung Fu Hustle, YWP has done work on Unleashed (Jet Li), House of Fury, Fearless (Jet Li), Legend of the Black Scorpion, Forbidden Kingdom. Coincidentally, I bought all of the movies except Unleashed (which I saw in the theatre), but never finished watching Legend of the Black Scorpion nor House of Fury.
I thought he might have been the choreographer on Ip Man too, but that was Sammo.
