WING CHUN IN FILMS: IP MAN

IP MAN - DONNIE YEN WILSON YIP

Right we will get the obvious out of the way... EDITED THIS AS I DID NOT SAY MUCH?!?!

Ip Man with Donnie Yen and only anyone who is dead are not familiar with this classic!

Brilliant and should have been longer, well one more fight scene, lol.

The best fight scene in years with the ten Karate, Japanese soldier, guys!

9.9 Out of ten for me!

I include pictures of covers to identify them all in your searches and especially so the more in-obscure titles!

I LOVE this movie and reading about the fact that there will now be a third one with Donnie Yen and I for one am over the moon!!! KUDOS! What with that and Wong Kar Wai's The GRANDMASTER and I am in Wing Chun heaven, or at least on my way. With another favourite Chinese actor in a film playing Bruce Lee's Sifu in Anthony Wong and it does not get much better than this.

I do not care about whether or not is it historically accurate and think people should NOT come out with statements like this as it is nigh on impossible to get ANYTHING historically accurate and the further back in time you go then obviously the harder this gets?!

Julias Caeser, Roman Empire, Spartacus, Alexander, Troy, Zulu Dawn (err I think, the Michael Caine one), Battle of Britain and I could do this all night long!

So do we therefore stop making them?!

It is Ip Man performing Wing Chun so he hit ...SOMEONE?! Hahaha!

There was an incident with a Policeman and yes it differs from that portrayed in the film and what I read was that a Policeman was threatening a girl in the street while brandishing his gun and is similar fashion Ip Man relieved him of it before speeding off quick sharp?!

I only wish now that they would do some up to date films on Leung Jan?! The man who taught Ip Man's Sifu's and Leung Bik's father who was a Doctor in Foshan. This is the character portrayed by Yuen Biao in The Prodigal Son.

I loved the cotton mill scene in this where he reluctantly gives in and they are all in the side alley performing the Sil Nim Tao and Chum Kiu, Little Idea and Seeking the Bridge respectively.

But coming up with a film that shows the genuine Wing Chun style has been so very difficult in the past that they way they have now managed to do this warms the cockles of my heart! After what SEEMS to have happened with The Grandmaster and teaching its star, Tony Leung, how to be convincing at Wing Chun I now have renewed hope of a Leung Jan movie, OR THREE?!

For those a;ready saying it become boring and done to death I do not get you...well don't watch it then and GET LOST!!

KEEP THEM COMING?!

LMAO!
