Just bought the Ip Man 2 DVD to watch over the Christmas time off. It's not too bad. But some scenes reminded me of when Rocky was fighting the Russian guy. Plus, a little too much of the anti-foreigner nationalism tone in the movie. (This seems to be getting popular again these days)
Basically describing the time when Ip Man first arrived in Hong Kong.
There's also a prequel of IpMan that is out, describing the period from he was a young boy to when he became a young man. Many of the actors from IpMan 2 are also in it, except Donnie Yen. IpMan's son also shows up in the film as well. Pretty interesting. My wife, who usually thought these films are poorly done, actually saw this one was done pretty well. Another twist, Samo and Jackie Chan's little kung fu brother (all three of them came from the same theater school) also showed up in this film as Samo's student. He's been doing behind the scene choreography kung-fu scenes for movies for like over 10 - 15 years. But he's now back in front of the camera, I guess.
I think my favorite of Donnie Yan character is still the one in "Hero". He's also in couple of the new movies, and I can see that he is carrying over the exact same fighting style in IpMan.
