It’s astonishing that it’s nearly two years since Ip Man (the movie) was released. The sequel, Ip Man 2, was released in Beijing on 21 April 2010 and is due for release in the UK on 25th June 2010. As in the first Ip Man film, Donnie Yen takes the leading role as the Wing Chun grandmaster – Ip Man.

Although to date the sequel has grossed more than HK$43 million domestically, public opinion is that it isn’t as good as the first film.

Ip Man 2 focuses on Ip Man’s life in1950′s Hong Kong, which is under British colonial rule. Of course, his attempts to promote Wind Chun, and the inevitable friction with rival martial arts schools make for lots of fighting opportunities!

I know. It’s a bit “Rocky”.

Great. More Fighting.
