Ip man is supposed to be based on the master who taught Bruce Lee martial arts.I have only seen this one film in the series,but it was good enough to make me want to see some of the others.Released in 2010 it runs 108 minutes.The film has nothing to do with Bruce's education and ends with a rather unbelievable fight with a english boxer after a very real homage to Rocky's fighting Ivan Drago in Rocky 4.That is why I had to take 2 stars off.However it is better than half the bad martial arts film made in recent years.I would recommend as its entertaining even as the final fight is silly,its still fun.There is also the recapture of honor lost ,one of main traditional Chinese value.It's no epic in the manner of Red Cliff,reviewed on this blog,but it has a good amount of weaponless fighting which many martial arts fan prefer over the weapons sort.I recommend for that and Donnie Yen is good enough.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.
Ip Man 2 is a 2010 Hong Kong biographical martial arts film loosely based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun. A sequel to the 2008 film Ip Man, the film was directed by Wilson Yip, and stars Donnie Yen, who reprises the leading role. Continuing after the events of the earlier film, the sequel centers on Ip's movements in Hong Kong, which is under British colonial rule. He attempts to propagate his discipline of Wing Chun, but faces rivalry from other practitioners, including the local master of Hung Ga martial arts. Written by jck movies
