SOURCE-Well Go USA DVD
I had heard of the IP Man films. Then found 2 and 3 cheap on DVD. Thinking I paid 50 cents each.
Needed something to watch after dinner tonight. Wanted some action and took a chance.
Almost 2 hours later I was looking on Ebay and Amazon for how much a DVD of the first IP Man film would cost me.
Ip Man,said Yip Man,is the guy who way later in his life taught a teen age Bruce Lee martial arts. And supposedly Ip Man's life was crazy.
Ip Man 2 is just a bare bones plot to string together 3 major fights.
Fight 1 is when Ip Man is wanting to join the local Martial Arts Society. So he can teach martial arts in the city. He fights a series of challengers. All while perched on top a table. With the final challenger being Sammo Huong. Great fight with some impressive stunts.
Fight 2 is Sammo Huong vs a boxer. Seems some I think Australian Boxer is in China and ends up challenging anyone. Sure Sammo has slowed down some. Still this fight was damn good.
Then the final fight IP Man vs Twister the boxer. Holy fuck. This was just pure action.
Maybe the story would have caught me more if I saw the first film. With this endding with a 7 year old Bruce Lee coming asking to be trained and being sent away I wonder if part 3 will be about IP Man training Lee?
Worth seeing for the 3 fights.
IP Man 2 gets a B-.
