Ip Man Sequel
Ip Man 2 took place in Hong Kong after he left the troubled China with his family. Being a stranger in new place, he had no other survival skills other than do what he do best – opening a martial art school. He had to overcome the challenges in the British Colony at that time including dealing with the other martial art practitioners. One of the local is the Hung Ga Society led by grandmaster Hung Chun-nam who played by Sammo Hung.
Sammo Hung did the choreography for the predecessor and now return to the screen. With all the fighting sequences done by him, it was a blast. Everyone would loves to watch how Sammo versus Donnie. It’s like the clash of titans, one being the practitioner of Hung Ga, and the other is Wing Chun. Like the typical story, it resolves around the hero, now grandmaster trying to make a living. Kent Cheng played the middle-man, filling up the role of half-good half-crooked guy which played by Lam Ka-Tung in the first film.
It was an interesting film to watch. As compared to the first film, this film added few emotions here and there. I was taken on a ride especially on the fighting scenes. It was breathtaking seeing the intensity of the fight, exchanging moves and smears some bloods.
On the other hand, it was a transformation to see Lynn Hung who reprises her role as Ip Man’s wife, Wing Sing has now become a strong, understanding and supportive wife. From a young woman, she has grown up becoming a lady to support the husband. In the end of the film, only a 10-year old Bruce Lee show up.
And here’s the real life photo of Grandmaster Ip practicing with the legendary Bruce Lee.
Will there be Ip Man 3? I doubt so as it will be saturated. However, I do look forward for Donnie Yen next action flick – Legend of Chen Zhen.
