Although it's better than calling him Wai, which I've seen once or twice!

The 3D version apparently contains yet another cut of the movie, inserting a new fight sequence between Tony Leung and Chang Chen. 100 years from now this movie will endlessly puzzle film archivists from 3 continents...

I missed my chance to see the 3D version, but from what I can determine, the scene they're referring to was already in the U.S. cut (and barely qualifies as a "fight sequence"). I've read a fair deal about the 3D version and the only differences it seems to have from the U.S. cut are a couple of additional "easter eggs" during the closing credits—one with Zhao Benshan (in what context, I don't know) and another with Gong Er demonstrating the 64 Hands for Yip Man. (I also assume all the English captions were changed to Chinese.)
