Having defeated the best fighters of the Imperial Japanese army in occupied Shanghai, Ip Man and his family settle in post-war Hong Kong. Struggling to make a living, Master Ip opens a kung fu school to bring his celebrated art of Wing Chun to the troubled youth of Hong Kong. His growing reputation soon brings challenges from powerful enemies, including pre-eminent Hung Gar master, Hung Quan (Sammo Hung). However, when corrupt colonial officials stage a life-or-death contest with formidable British boxer, Twister (Darren Shahlavi), to humiliate the Chinese people, the masters quickly forget their differences. Soon, the eyes of the nation are on the one man capable of securing a victory-Grandmaster Ip Man! One of the biggest Chinese blockbusters in recent history, Ip Man 2 elevates martial arts fight choreography to new heights of excellence and delivers more excitement than ever before! Review: Truly a sequel to match the best martial arts movie ever made - The Plot This film is loosely based on a biographical account of the legendary Yip Man, hailed as the true master of the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun. He has even taught the likes of Bruce Lee, a world-renowned martial arts icon. It is in fact the sequel to Ip Man, and given that it is the second instalment, you would not think it would match up to the original but this one definitely gives Ip Man a run for its money. The creators were incredibly inventive and put together an uncommon and intriguing storyline. Firstly, I would say that the plot has some very realistic and believable elements. Ip Man's main student is an extremely enthusiastic, energetic youth who has an insatiable lust for life. You can imagine that a person with these attributes, if ever given a weapon, would find any excuse whatsoever to test it out. After learning the fundamentals of this new martial art, the student decides to test his new skills in a totally avoidable street fight, causing no end of troubles for Ip Man as his master. I would also like to mention that I felt quite emotionally connected to Ip Man's character as the movie gives us a glimpse into his family life and the struggles they endure alongside Ip Man's own martial arts related trials. This would also apply to other parts of the movie where, for example, Master Hung, a close friend of Ip Man's, suffers a horrible tragedy. On a more positive note, I loved the fact that familiar characters who made a big impact in the first Ip Man were re-cast, especially one humorous figure named `the Northerner' in the previous instalment whose insufferable ignorance had me keeling over time after time. The Action What makes this a great movie to watch is not only do you get to witness Ip Man's trademark, truly devastating rapid-fire punch combinations which made a tremendous impression on me in the first feature, but you also get the opportunity to see a variety of other differing martial arts of the era in action. The thing that astounded me the most though was how this movie challenges our perception of a typical martial arts physique. Personally I would expect to see a well-toned, muscular person with an athletic-type build. Master Hung, however, a very soft-looking, overweight man was performing inconceivable acrobatic manoeuvres and displaying a hand speed only rivalled by Ip Man himself. The fight scenes are frequent enough to keep you on the edge of your seat without taking away from the almost factual storyline making Ip Man 2 a fantastically balanced action movie if you ask me. The Conclusion I found this to be a deeply moving, thought provoking, adrenaline pumping film that portrays the story of one man who helped a nation to overcome oppression. It keeps viewers guessing at every turn. Even the ending gives you the impression that Ip Man may actually lose his fight with the world champion boxer, Twister, contradicting the usual happy endings of many movie genres. Although I do not consider this movie to be more enjoyable than Ip Man, I will certainly say that it comes an amazingly close second. Review: It one art better then the other? Or is it the practitioner? - A great film. Many credit Bruce Lee to be the father of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), before the world was ready for it. I guess that Ip Man the grandfather of the theory. Some people are so passionate about their art they will not hear a word against it. MMA was created to truly see which art was superior. However that asks the question, is it the art that makes the person great, or the person who makes the art great? Now living in Hong Kong, times still tough for Ip Man, no money no marketable skills apart from teaching Wing Chun. He tries to open a school but does not have any students, till a brash 19 year walks in to see how good Ip is by challenging him to a fight, Ip realises how times have changed, where as before when he held back and did not deliver a punch the person was thankful now it is just assumed he can't. After soundly thrashing the youngster he becomes Ip's first student. As Ip's popularity grows, the other martial arts masters are threatened, they demand Ip prove himself by facing them in combat. Great fights, great to see Donnie and Sammo mix it up again. Starting as rivals then then earning each others respect. A boxing tournment has been set up, the world boxing chsmpion is an arigant brit, with no respect for other cultures or martial arts. Sammo standing up for national pride. The aged Sammo, is still technically superior but does not have the stamina or power to face an inshape champ. In Rocky IV style refuses to let Ip throw in the towel. Now Ip must fight where Sammo left off. With a whole country in his corner. Can Ip beat the younger, bigger, stronger champ. Great film. I really enjoyed it. Loved the mix of Rocky and MMA. Boxing has always been the anti martial art it makes the perfect style for the villan of the movie. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004A8LHXW | | Actors | Donnie Yen, Huang Xiao-Ming, Sammo Hung, Xiong Dai-Lin | | Aspect Ratio | Unknown | | Best Sellers Rank | 28,501 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 5,846 in Action & Adventure (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,750) | | Director | Yip Wai-Shun | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5060085364836 | | Language | Chinese | | Media Format | Anamorphic, PAL, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 2 | | Package Dimensions | 19.1 x 13.7 x 1.7 cm; 90 g | | Release date | 7 Mar. 2011 | | Run time | 1 hour and 44 minutes | | Studio | Cine-Asia | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Contributor:** Donnie Yen, Huang Xiao-Ming, Sammo Hung, Xiong Dai-Lin, Yip Wai-Shun - **Format:** Anamorphic, PAL, Widescreen - **Language:** Chinese - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 44 minutes ## Images ![Ip Man 2 [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l23ILr4BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly a sequel to match the best martial arts movie ever made *by F***S on 2 January 2012* The Plot This film is loosely based on a biographical account of the legendary Yip Man, hailed as the true master of the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun.

This film is, underlined, based on the life of Yip Man and is again, based, on the western invasion of China. I'll agree that this film may not be historically accrete, but It makes sense to me that if, British service men suddenly were surrounded by a mysteries fighting style, that one of the British would have wanted to go up against that style. Also there's a great difference between a westerns body and someone from the east, so surly at some point in history, when the two came face to face, it makes sense that they would have gone toe to toe. Alright, so all that aside. I loved this film almost has much as the first. I loved the opening scenes with Ip's new students and the plight he faced when caught between passing on knowledge and making money. People have mention Rocky and yes... there is a similarity towards the end, and to be honest I LOVED IT, so much so that in the final fight, I was jumping round the room, screaming my head off, I don't think I've ever go that excited before during a fight scene. I've lent the first Ip Man to a few of my martial art friends, and it does seem to slip people down the middle. But you can't escape the fact that these films are beautiful made, well acted with great story's and it's got...
