To survive in Hong Kong, Ip not only needs to gain acceptance from the masters, but also from the corrupted British-run police force and an arrogant British boxer (Darren Shahlavi).Īll-region 2-Disc DVD Edition comes with: However, Ip finds out the hard way that the Hong Kong martial arts world is controlled by a group of martial arts masters, led by the powerful Master Hung (Sammo Hung). He starts a small martial arts school, recruiting the young and brash Wong Leung (Huang Xiao Ming) as his student. With a stirring story and impressive fight scenes, Ip Man 2 packed theaters and touched audiences throughout Asia, quickly becoming one of the highest-grossing Asian films of 2010.Īfter defending himself against the Japanese army in the first film, Ip Man (Donnie Yen) goes with his family to start anew in Hong Kong. In addition to Hung, Ip Man cast members Lynn Xiong, Fan Siu Wong, and Simon Yam are joined by new additions Huang Xiao Ming ( The Message) and Kent Cheng. The two action actors go up against each other in an explosive bout that even surpasses their previous match-up in SPL.
