yeah this Yip and Yen collaboration so far has been pretty good.

Has opened at the cinema here in Australia (imagine it will be a short cinema release)


This thread will contain SPOILERS - Bail now if you haven;t seen the film






Look i felt it was a notch below the first but still very enjoyable. The politics of the kung fu world in Hong Kong at the time was interesting and seemed accurate from what i have read. Fights were very good but just a slight notch below the first. The fights v the western boxer were well done given the variance in style.

The little bruce lee scene at the end was cute but the kid overacted just a bit. Still i really want a third Ip Man to round off the trilogy. Even though Donnie has said no, money talks.

So why post in the thread?

I've been hearing some good things about this. I need to check it out.

Saw this movie yesterday and it was OK. Definitely not as good as the first movie. I wasn't blown away by the fight choreography this time around.

Finally caught this on Netflix streaming. Wow... can you say Rocky IV, right down to the speech at the end? I like the 1st film better.

There's a lame teaser trailer on youtube but there's no actual footage; just Chinese characters.

Cung Le is in it. He needs to be in a good movie. The last time I saw him was in "Fighting" with Channing Tatum. I laughed when Tatum
kicked his ass. I just couldn't buy it because this dude is a bad ass.

I watched this back-to-back with Ip Man 2. Enjoyed both, but I actually thought that this prequel was the better of the two.

I thought it was okay except for the fact that it was inconsistent with the Donnie Yen version.

Anyone know how good the subtitles are on this one? Some Asian/HK editions have grammatically questionable English subtitles. Is this one OK??

It has some if I remember correctly but I didn't notice it the first time I watched it. I was so into the movie I forgot about the subs. If you don't have either part their both available as a 2 pack.

"The Grandmasters" is in post-production, though Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi are on standby in case of more re-shoots.

$52.56 is pretty steep but I want these two flicks. I hope s&h isn't too high.

not sure if youve seen it but Bodyguards and Assassins is great. Theres a great fight scene between Donnie Yen and Cung Le

I forgot he was in that movie. Thanks for the heads up. I know a buddy that has the HK BD.

I know they charge $4 for 1 dvd order and $6 for 2 dvd orders to the U.S.

Grammatically, it looked alright to me. No funny sounding lines or anything like that.

Excellent. I got a copy off of ebay for just $15 total shipped. New, no less. (And I should have it next week.) After looking at the DVDBeaver comparison I preferred the look of that release so I decided to go that route.
