awesome movie again.
it's obvious that Ip Man 3 is going to be coming out... but Donnie Yuen says he is not going to act as Ip Man.... Nooooooooooooooooo!

"With the recent surge of Yip/Ip Man related film projects coming up in the pipeline, Donnie Yen has told the Chinese media that after Ip Man 2, he will no longer play the Wing Chun master anymore.

...I would never ever touch any films related to Ip Man. This will be my final film (Ip Man 2) on the subject. Whenever something becomes a success, everyone would jump on the bandwagon, this is very frightening. Did you know how many Ip Man films are in production? Under such condition, we would not progress, it'd only lead to over-saturation of the subject matter.

Other Yip/Ip Man related films include Wong Kar-wai's The Grand Master and Herman Yau's The Legend is Born: Ip Man, both schedule for release this year. "

It's weird that I read elsewhere that the director is already preparing for Ip Man 3 or its in pre-production. Who's gonna be Ip Man then?? I think he's just saying that shit so he gets more $$ in the next movie.

Donnie Yen is in way too many movies now. 14 Blades, Ip Man 2, Legend of the Fist, Bodyguards and Assassins, etc etc.

The one movie franchise he should've kept milking was SPL and Flashpoint. At least theres no historical character to limit what the character can do.

first one was more epic then the second one. Did not enjoy the boxing match.. i thought it was.. odd... reminded me of another movie "true legend". The first one where ipman and 10 black belts fought.. i think that still takes the pie for most epic fight scene ever.

Ip Man 1 was great. A great introduction to the Wingchun fighting style and the japanese fighting was amazing. Ip Man 2 wasn't bad, it kept up with it's fighting styles, historical settings, costume design... and expanded a bit more on the history / background of Ip Man's life. We have seen all the awesome Wingchun fighting styles so it wasn't much of a surprise this time, wished they could have showed some new movies or at LEAST showed us some fighting or wingchun teaching scenes with his disciples. OH, there were no new fighting styles and damn, the chick who played his wife (Aaron Kwok's gf) literally had like 6 scenes with only 2 lines in the movie.

I thought the part where Ip Man and Samo was really really good. I thought Samo did a really great job and almost almost stole the show. The boxing part wasn't as good as I thought, and to tell you the truth, I'm not even sure if there was a boxer named Twister.
Then again, I doubt people had to fight on a table either.

They made Ip Man like a national hero which I didn't quite get and it made him like a freaking philosopher which I thought was really gay. All in all, same formula, same story line yet I still enjoyed it a lot.

The movies had nothing to do with Ip Man's life. They aren't an adaptation of his story, or a dramatization. They are pure communist propaganda, using his name to make up yet another phony martyr people can identify with.

He was a teacher in China who started a martial arts school in Hong Kong when he fled the communists. Pretty simple story, really. To give you an idea of how 'normal' he is, my wife's dad went to one of his schools at one point. Bruce Lee may or may not have trained with him at one point in his life (and with Bruce Lee stories, there's always about 10% truth with 90% exaggeration ;))

It sucks too, because so many excellent movies from China and HK are ruined by the need (requirement, really) to pander to the communists (because without that, there's no way your movie will be shown in China to millions of people).

I only hope that people don't fall for the bullshit, and just enjoy the good parts of the movie. And when you do find out it's bullshit, don't get mad at the people who tell you it's bullshit ;)

the reason why he doesnt want to beat the crap out of them is because thats not how he wants to fight?? the chinese martial arts is not used to punish people... haha at least thats what he keeps saying in the 2 movies! :thumbsup:

After re-watching Ip Man 1 and Ip Man 2, the differences are way more pronounced

Fighting in Ip Man 1
Master Liu vs Ip Man, Jin vs various masters, Jin vs Ip Man at home, Liu vs Soldiers, 3 vs General, epic Ip Man vs 10, Jin vs Ip Man at factory, Ip Man vs General

Fighting in Ip Man 2
Ip Man vs Wang Liang, Ip Man vs Wang Liang + Friends, Wang Liang vs other student in alley, Ip Man vs fish market people, not-so-epic Ip Man vs 3 masters, students vs students brawl on street, Ip Man vs Master Hung, Master Hung vs Twister, Ip Man vs Twister.

Each fight in Ip Man 1 is reliant on skill. Anybody can get into a brawl on the streets, but not everybody can take on a black belt karate master or 10 karate students at once. In Ip Man 2, only the table fight was skill, everything else was pretty much all strength or numbers

AzNightmare
05-21-2010, 01:35 PM
I just finished watching Ip Man 2 yesterday. I'm slightly disappointed only because
(silly me) I expected a sequel to be even better than he original.

In summary, Part 2 had more fights, less story/meaning to it.
It focused more on the action scenes which sells. But I thought fights were just randomly
happening sometimes. Too much brawling.

If you did your research, the story is NOT made up. Ip man 1 & 2 is a story retold by Ip Man's son, who is still alive and teaching wing chun in HK.

I think people know that it's fictional, and it just uses the names and themes of some real people and places. It's like Enter the Dragon, or Da Vinci Code: Entirely false from a historical standpoint, but still entertaining as a fictional work.

Sorry to burst your Ip Man hero fantasy.

"Ip Man, born to a wealthy class, lived the life of an aristocrat, until the Japanese invasion, and then following the Communist takeover of China, fled the mainland to go to Macao, and later Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, he became an instructor of the then unknown system of Wing Chun Kuen at the Chinese Restaurant Association in 1949. This is a dramatic difference between the real Ip Man, and the movie Ip Man.

The ending fight scene the Japanese General is a fictional account, and Ip Man was never shot after a challenge match, nor fought 10 Japanese karateka and took them all out without breaking a sweat."

The fights in the first one had better quality to it, and this one didn't help
with the BS balance act with hanging wires hopping over chairs.

One part, they were just both fluttering their fists around with nothing
happening. Reminded me of oldschool Dragon Ball where they repeat the same

So what exactly in the movie corresponded with real life events?

It wasn't beating up 10 Japanese in honour of his dead friend.
It wasn't getting shot after defeating a Japanese General.

Ip Man 1 was better than the second one. The story line was extremely weak for Ip Man 2, to be honest the fight scenes were the only good parts in the whole movie. There was a lot of hype for Ip Man 2, because the first one was so good, but the second one was disappointing.

hate to tell u this but your close but not there, yip man was off in a wealth family from foshan & they moved to HK when he was 15 he attendant St. Stephen's College

he went back to forshan after finishing school then when the japanese came to china he moved back to HK & yes he can speak english (bruce lee was the only student he had that speak english)

if your wonder how i got all info & if it's right or not, i can tell you that my dad was a student of wong leung & he learn wing chun from him (yip man was my dads si-bak)

i watched the movie with my dad & the 1st thing he said after the movie was that wong leung was too softed, cuz my dad told me that back then if you got beaten real bad by guy using wing chun & you go look for yip man hes gonna tell that it gonna be wong leung

come to think of it i remember my dad tell me that wong leung got in to a fight with bruce lee cuz bruce lee likes to pick fights on the street as well & thats how yip man start to teach him privately (cuz yip man likes ppl that can fight well)

oh just so u know yip chun is the head of the HK wing chun association & f**king Communist throwing a shit load of money on movie productions right now hoping to make china's past look less terrible & all these actors are just kissing communist ass just so the ppl up stairs don't drop shit on the actors ( just look the movie founder of a republic where all the actors cast in it said they were gonna do the movie free of charge how is that not kissing ass)

so why don't u just enjoy the movie as it is (i remember there was a tv show in china & the chinese writers made one chinas most evilest man, the worlds patriotic person in china & the government fired all of there ass after cutting the show off air)

Yes back when the first Ip Man movie came out I read that there was another Ip Man movie that was going to be made by somebody else and Yuen Biu is dope!

Actually the movie I heard was being made at the time has Tony Leung in it and after searching there is in fact a 4th Ip Man movie unrelated to the other 3. It's called The Grand Master

Just watched this.. I would say its pretty bad compared to the first two.. The guy playing Ip Man has really douchey expressions and his voice is annoying as fuck.. he talks like a robot, and in all his fight scenes he looks robotic and weak as hell.. doesn't have any intensity or power at all. Did I mention he looks and sounds like a bitch?

Just not the same without Donnie.

I watched it and it was... weird. I thought it was pretty nicely done, the dude had a few moves that were the same as Donnie, this is afterall the "prequel" so him being weak or not as awesome was over looked.

I didn't know Ip Man went to school and can speak english which was weird and man, the girls in the movie was just down right ugly. Couldn't they have found a better looking girl?

What I did like was Ipman's REAL wingchun master to play in the movie, that was actually pretty cool and have him sort of explain why there was a change in wing chun and what the huge ruckus was all about was sort of 'history' worthy to me.

what i really didn't like was the Japanese versus his story line was just totally weak sauce. I really didn't like the ending story line. Oh, they really have to stop using the same people like Samo as someone else cause it's getting me all confused when you see Samo in Ip man 2

All in all, action was 7/10 (which is actually decent compared to all to action movies nowadays in HK). Ip Man 1,2 and most jacky chan movies would be an 8-9 / 10
Story was 7/10
all in all, given the fact we have already seen 2 Ip man already, we all know the prequel would suck but they did pull it off. 7/10. which is really high for a honger movie right now.

well the only problem is donnie's movements were wide in a way but he really makes it up by speed

when my dad taught me the basics of wing chun he said that the elbow should always be glued to your ribs/body or at least very close that u can protected it when u go back to defense mode

not sure about yuan biao, but i know it's not gonna be better then donnie for sure & tony leung just isn't cut out to be yip man

Not really impressed with this movie. Ip Man 1 was better. The over the top anti British stuff was funny (kinda like the Japanese in the first one). I wonder how the boxing match went down in real life.

Ip Man 1 was a better movie with a better story. Ip Man 2 was good enough for the action, but it wasn't as good.

I have the 3rd movie DVD sitting around waiting to be watched.

^^^ no there was no british boxer (bruce lee did though during school) and he wasn't the creator of wing chun and he actually deserted his family and ran to hong kong on his own (his wife died already supposedly)

there wasn't even a big fight with japanese martial artists either.... the japanese military wanted him to train their troops he wouldn't so they stripped him of his money

etc etc the movies are well movies.... just like all the hollywood "true story" films they're 90-99% bs
