New Donnie Yen movie, Portraying Wing Chun master Yip Man (Bruce Lee's sifu) I think just relased in Hk a couple days ago. Looks interesting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkHmYJmfuWg

[Kagemusha]

Looks sweet!

[Armind]

I wanna watch it!

[SkinnyPupp]

I saw this ad on a bus the other day, and thought nothing of it, since the last Donnie Yen movie I saw (Flash Point) was so bad.

But seeing this trailer, it looks like a cool old-school kung fu flick.

[Iceman_2K]

its alright, being a biopic and all....this is one that I'll wait for the faan baan dvd to come out and drop to $2.00......the torrent i dl'ed was in pretty good shape.

[Ch28]

I thought Flash Point was a decent action flick.

[Grandmaster TSE]

the trailer for it looks good, hopefully they'll show a lot of wing chun

[BlackZRoadster]

can u pm me the torrent please, i tried 30 min and couldnt find it

Donnie Yen on flash point was one of the few movies that does 'free style' wrestling in the HK market. We all know how we are so used to jacky chan fast fighitng punching in the face, btu Donnie Yen did a decent job introducing a new type of martial arts in flash point. (at least this is what other hongers thought)

[SkinnyPupp]

The fighting itself in Flashpoint was cool, I liked how he incorporated some MMA and Wrestling moves in there. But there just wasn't nearly enough fighting, and we had to watch some REALLY fucking lame acting to get to the few good fighting scenes.

Its an action film. You have to go into it expecting all action and 0 story haha

[BlitzBlitz]

holy shit, that looks awsome

[SkinnyPupp]

Its an action film. You have to go into it expecting all action and 0 story haha
Yes, all action. Not 20 minutes of action and 80 minutes of bullshit

[StylinRed]

cool, getting a little tired of these "evil japanese" films tho (even though they make for great actions films)


here's the official website http://www.ipman-movie.com/

Sammo is the "action director" i guess thats the choreographer? oO was certain Yen would want that role for himself



edit: i thought flash point was good, story wasn't bad (considering whats coming out of HK these last few years)

have you seen it yet skinny?


http://www.ipman-movie.com/wallpaper/ipman_800x600d.jpg

this guy looks the coolest in the trailer damn

[BlackZRoadster]

torrent please, haha

i watched the trailer and it was good, my friend in hk watched it and said its not that good compared with his other action flicks..
donnie yen ftw!

[wouwou]

Ip Man rules according to my friends, its so good that they went to the cinema to watch it.

you know the ones that downloaded dark knigh :D

[SkinnyPupp]

Haven't seen it yet, gonna wait for Blu Ray (it won't take long)

[winson604]

Looks solid. Definitely enjoy any Donnie Yen and Wu Jing movie now a days.

[LsquareD]

Looks sah-weet. Donnie Yen looks kinda like my dad :lol

[stuff99]

this movie looks decent. i hope it does well in the box office and revives the genre.

hk movies are dead in the water due to piracy...gotta support some of the movies that at least put in an effort to appear decent

[bbbj]

Looks sah-weet. Donnie Yen looks kinda like my dad :lol

Kinda looks like my dad too.. except more hair and more muscles and more coolness.

[skyxx]

Are there still any theatres in Vancouver that play Chinese movies?

[Armind]

There's no english subs. :cry:

[stuff99]

dont think so

[fuhkyu]

Looks like a sick movie.. too bad I'm not chinese haha

[jackmeister]

can anyone find a cantonese version??
the torrents i've found are all in mandarin/simplified/cam version

im looking for telesync cantonese version

[C5_Ryder]

donnie yen is the man

[stuff99]

ya lets all pirate the one decent movie that's come out of hk in 2008 to further kill decent movies being made there!

LOL exactly what I was thinking. This thread showcases exactly what's wrong with the movie industry, and how people think they have the automatic right to get anything they want for free. On top of that, they complain when it's not up to their standards!

Good movie! That one japanese guy is the biggest douche :@

yah it just pisses me off that kind of attitude because i like hk movies and let's face it. i cant even think of a good one that was made in the past year except red cliff which was more of a China movie.

Sparrow was decent but thats just grasping at straws.

[skyxx]

Well, I watched the Mandarin version (dubbed) of the movie. This movie was great. It had a good balance of action and story/plot. I will be buying the DVD or Blu Ray when it's released and hopefully then I can re-watch it in its intended language (Cantonese). This is another great movie that features Donnie Yen and a fantastic one from Hong Kong Cinema.

[HugoBoss604]

damnn looks sick i wanna watch it..

[winson604]

Looking forward to watching this film. There's also another movie about Yip Man coming out called The Great Master. The film has been in development and will feature Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as Yip Man.

Actually, they're planning on making Ip Man into a trilogy or franchise...a la Once Upon a Time in China.

They're currently looking for someone to play Bruce Lee for the 2nd movie.

Just saw it...pretty good movie. of course, slightly predictable but good none the less.

ps - the wife is hot.

I bought the DVD :bowdown:

[StylinRed]

bleh, finally got to watching it and i thought it sucked... not enough fighting and the story was typical 'anti jap' film the gangster wasnt in it enough

and i h8 how donnie yen cant even get hurt -_-

+ i spoiler this it was so retarded how he crueled out on those 10 japanese fighters when the fighters showed honour and stopped attacking when ppl said they had enough... if Ip really had balls he woulda challenged the guy with the gun

[gl0910]

HOLY CRAP
THIS MOVIE IS SO FRIKIN GOOD
i watched it in HK this holiday
i think i'm buying the dvd and watch it allover again

[AzNightmare]

What the? you guys didn't like Flash Point? I thought that movie was so wicked. With the MMA stuff. I actually noticed Donnie Yen likes to do more free style fighting, and to me, it actually looks a whole lot realistic than some choreographed stuff you see from just about every other martial artist actor.

[AzNightmare]

http://www.fighttech.com/articles/bbm_0704/images/110b.jpg.

wow, that guy actually has quite a "Bruce Lee" body. Looks jacked without really looking jacked up. LOL

He just needs to add some more flare to his hair.

[6793026]

yip men was a great movie, it shadowed a few of the movie back from bruce lee's old plots. (standing up the japanese)
movie was great because the story line was decent and the acting by Donnie was bearable. They really did a lot of research for this movie. they consulted (yip men's son) in this movie. THe ONLY part that was not good abotu this movie was how they made Yip Men like a freaking country hero. Yip Men was simply a guy that loved Wing Chung and started his own practice.

Jet Li did a movie 2 yrs ago called FOK YUN GAP, now he was trying a country hero and a great martial artist. Yip Men was not even close to FOK YUN GAP.

[skyxx]

I bought the DVD :bowdown:

The DVD is out already??? Hmm Where did you buy it?

[StylinRed]

he was talking about DRAGON:a bruce lee story

Yep, the fight in the Dojo scene was probably a nod to Fist of Fury. It was also likely a metaphorical representation at how all the Chinese felt at the time of the Japanese occupation.

I rather pay for the real copy of it in Blu-Ray or DVD since I want to support quality movies. :thumbsup:

[J'zed]

It looks like a real copy.... has a dvd holder with pictures and everything... its not like those behind the counter ones in a plastic wrap. If this is not the real copy. Im not sure what the real one is suppose to look like. Should it have holograms or something?

wow, you really should not buy any DVDs at retail price in China.

even with holders and everything, it is most likely not a legit copy.

[macatacz]

great movie.. no doubt!

[J'zed]

haha, im not sure if there is even a place now in Vancouver where you can buy legit copies of movies. seems like every asian cd/dvd store carries the same thing. Like Yip Man for example. All the stores that have them are carrying the same version... I was looking for the real one and I checked all 3 stores that sell cd/dvds and they all carry the same version. So I dunno...

[StylinRed]

I don't remember seeing that.

Piracy is killing it. They went from a Metro, Chinatown and Richmond store to only 1 Richmond store (downsized store as well).

There use to be two shops that sold legit stuff near T&T metro but those shops folded as well.

FALSEEEEEEEEEEEE (MAL is ALL legit)
the one at parker place has few legit movies and then bunch of fake ones

i went in and only 1 out of 10 of the new movies were legit. all of them were shirnk wrapped and they were all fake copies.

[Obsideon]

I saw it! Good movie! Needs subtitles since there are Mainlander and Japanese fighters. If you don't know Canto/Mandarin/Japanese your not going to understand everything.

Flashpoint was a decent guy flick, no plot whatsoever. Just a whole lotta masculinity flexing and some Dragonball style ass kicking! (Bones are harder than bricks apparently :confused:)

It's all fun'n games but getting bored of Donnie "I'm the MAN" Yen constantly pummeling the crap out of everyone .. the most injured he's ever got was when he had a trickle of blood on his brow (not to mention he practically went Super Saiyan right after he saw the blood.) when the other dude looks like an eggplant! Not diggin' his GODMODE status in all his movies, at least let the bad guys put up a fight?

Actually it's pretty hard to differentiate haha some of the fakes are REALLY good. Full packaging, well-done printing on the DVD, some even come with photo cards inside!

[Amuse]

I just watched it, man it was good!

[- kT]

Watched.

Highly suggested, especially to people that like action fighting movies
Great movie!

lol please, i like how you are trying to defend the Japanese while using a derogatory term for them. IMO the film is not "Anti Japanese" its a reasonable historical re-telling of what happened in China during the 2nd Sino-Japanese war/WW2 era. If you think they're being portrayed in-accurately go read up on the long list of Japanese war crimes during this period.

On a less serious note. One of the better HK films I've seen in a long time, but I'm suspecting the sequel will blow chunks (If they make one).

[Obsideon]

I think they should make that guy that fought him in SPL (in the alley with knife and stick) the next Bruce Lee in the sequel, whatever his name is, he was a good fighter too and young.

[oinkoinkpig]

looking good

[StylinRed]

lol please, i like how you are trying to defend the Japanese while using a derogatory term for them.

jap isnt derogatory, although a lot of asians feel it is but i dont care ;p

thats like saying calling someone from britain a brit is derogatory, or a canadian a canuck or a saudi arabian an arab

and why your bringing up war crimes blahblahblah blah i have no clue... it doesn't take away from the fact its a "WE'RE CHINESE, ROAR!! FUCK YOU JAPANESE!" im just calling it what it is, nothing more/less.

[Moratorium]

I'm bringing it up because you're claiming the film is attacking the Japanese, when it's more of a biography about the life of Yip Man during the WW2 Era. Like i said before its a somewhat accurate account of what happened during that time, and ok yeah let's just say that it is a "WE'RE CHINESE, ROAR!! FUCK YOU JAPANESE!" film. Even then it's not attacking the Japanese culture in anyway because thats what happened during the war. If you're saying this movie an 'anti-jap' film then by the same measure you could call valkyrie an anti-german film.

and I brought up the war crimes because you were saying something along the lines of the Japanese being portrayed as evil etc. and you didn't like that. Well guess what, they WERE the ones doing the raping, killing, stealing during this time period. If its a historical re-enactment of the war then yeaa they're gona be a portrayed as evil and yes the people they kill/steal/rape will be a TAD pissed off that they're doing that.

and FYI just because you don't feel a term is offensive to people doesn't mean that its not offensive.

dude quit bullshitting.... or learn to read.... your adding shit into "typical 'anti jap' film" it almost makes you wonder what your angle is.... well not really.. thats pretty obvious

and just because some ppl find a word to be offensive means nothing when the word isn't offensive... thats like saying i feel offensive to the word Dog so you all better stop saying it! roaar

[ienhz]

Thought it was a good movie. Once Upon a Time in China 2 is still my favourite martial arts movie of all time though.

[Moratorium]

jap isnt derogatory, although a lot of asians feel it is but i dont care ;p

I can read just fine, thanks. You're contradicting yourself here, you say it isnt derogatory then u say a lot of people think it is offensive. And yea if a LARGE group of people think its offensive... it sorta is. What gives you the sole right to decide what is offensive and what isn't?

What you're doing is more like "I can say nigga all i want cause i don't think its offensive at all to black people."

and my angle? my angle is trying to defend a film from you saying its 'anti-jap'. I've offended no one, and I've been using facts to back my shit up. You're the only one spouting slurs and 'bull shitting' here.

But whatever, I'll drop it. Its a movie thread, and i doubt you can wrap your brain around what my point is anyways.

[StylinRed]

no its pretty clear your trying to nit-pick and read into things that aren't there

and everytime you either reply about something else or just continue adding shit into things that aren't there

but yeah whatever ;)

as indicated by yesasia.com the legit copy comes out in HK feb 13, so it should hit MAL that weekend.

[6793026]

no idea why one of my post didn't who up
this movie was BASED on a real character. Not all the events happened.

this movie made him look like a national hero, which he is so not. He was the master of bruce Lee and that was it. He did start Wing Chun.

Jet Li's old movie (similar story line) that he was a real national hero.

[caronimo]

great movie, best movie i seen a while.

It's a good movie, but not $45.99 good.

If it were priced like Blu-Rays at Futureshop (~$30) I would buy it.

[stuff99]

ill probably just get the dvd then.

i hate the stretched look with dvds on my hdtv

[skyxx]

I was quite surprised at the price when I was browsing around MAL's website. If it was around 35 I would definitely consider it. Now I'm contemplating whether to get it. :/

[stuff99]

It's cause our dollar dropped. When I bought Red Cliff last summer on blu ray I got it for $35 CAD when our dollar was on par. Sucks now.

[stuff99]

great movie!

[SkinnyPupp]

Just watched it on Blu-Ray, pretty damn good Kung Fu flick! I was actually not far from Fo Shan last week, I should have gone! Although almost anything related to pre-communism is likely to be gone completely, so I'm sure nobody was able to turn one of the schools into a museum or anything like that.

There were some really stupid parts, some inconsistencies, and downright errors due to the time it was supposed to have taken place, but overall a good action flick. Definitely better than Donnie Yen's last movie.

The one part that really bugged me was the epilogue text at the end. According to this movie, Japan surrendered unconditionally after being defeated in the war by China... Umm what? :lol

The tribute to Ip Man at the end was awesome though.

Yup, and if anything they should have said: Japan surrendered after the war against the Republic of China. And after that, the country was in tatters, and the Communists took advantage and took over the country, successfully brainwashing the people to think otherwise.

[m4k4v4li]

no I don't
how did it "glorify communist china" I think it correctly outlined the sentiment of the time frame, ip man went from living in a lavish mansion to barely getting by with enough to eat, alongside everyone else that was chinese who didnt sell themselves out to the japanese

[IfUCare]

am i missing something?
It's a movie, based on a person. No where does it say it's historically accurate. Also, due to censorship in china, if they wanted to play their movie there they'll have to accommodate to them. It's just a movie, watch it for what it is, i'm guessing you didn't questioned the accuracy of "DOOM" the movie. They just want to make a few bucks get off their back. If you want a history lesson, go read a history book, and not an action movie.
Oh yea, it's an action movie, to make it exciting they've got to make it somewhat unrealistic. To sell their movie, of course, it'll show him taking and beating 10 guys.
It would be pointless if the 10 guys jumped on him at the same and beat his ass up, the movie would be over.

[SkinnyPupp]

This is a perfect example of how people can be on completely different intellectual levels from one another.

[stuff99]

You guys are missing the point. We weren't bothered by the historical inaccuracies, but to state that China won the war at the end credits is another thing.

That's like the Germans saying Nazis never existed.

[Sky_2000]

China did not end the war itself. The war ended when the United States dropped their atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[BlackZRoadster]

WHATEVER..it was a fucking movie, its for entertainment, real or fake, end of story

WHATEVER..it was a fucking movie, its for entertainment, real or fake, end of story
I don't mind that they took liberties with his life in the movie itself. But to try to rewrite history in what is supposed to be the "real life" epilogue of the movie just ruined it for me.

Either keep it fiction, or keep it real. Don't try to rewrite reality!

Looks great.

Can't go wrong with kung-fu...
