That bloke in the first vid could be Yuen Biao. Very athletic moves!

Oh, most definitely - especially the hoops/jumping exchange. A lot of fans think that this scene takes the ostentatious, elaborate movements too far away from proper fighting. They're probably right - it's far too fancy. But, as a showcase of timing and acrobatics, it's a great scene, and the rest ...
