Zhang Ziyi versus Wack Mustache Man in The Grandmaster

This is how you make an asskicking look beautiful.



All right, I know I've already posted a bunch of Grandmaster stuff, but here's one more, and it's dope. Renown auteur Wong Kar-wai's latest film is a historical epic on the life of the legendary Wing Chun master Ip Man -- teacher to Bruce Lee -- and the martial artists of his time. In this awesome clip, Gong Er (Zhang Ziyi) faces off against Ma San (Zhang Jin), aka Wack Mustache Man, to restore her family's honor.

This is, hands down, my favorite scene in the movie:




Tony Leung is cool as usual in this movie, but Zhang Ziyi steals it for me. The U.S. version of The Grandmaster is now playing in New York and Los Angeles, and opens in theaters everywhere else this Friday, August 30.
