Choy Lee Fut (Cai Li Fo in mandarin) style kung fu is a combat system, which Bruce Lee respected:
"Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I've seen for fighting more than one person. [It] is one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against. Choy Li Fut is the only style [of kung fu] that traveled to Thailand to fight the Thai boxers and hadn't lost."
-from Bruce Lee - Between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do, by Jesse Glover.
According to Black Belt magazine, Bruce Lee studied Choy Lee Fut, before studying Wing Chun.. Here's a manual of a Choy Lee Fut book that is purported to belong to Bruce Lee.
Here's Sammo Hung's film trailer - Choy Lee Fut, released in 2011.
Wushupedia on Youtube - shows 15 minutes of footage from the film.
As a film itself, the reviews haven't been that spectacular (here's one from LoveHkFilm). But as a practitioner of Choy Lee
Fut, I'm dying to see it!
