FILMMAKERS REACT TO IP MAN 2 (2010) FIRST TIME REACTION! 

Donnie Yen (actor who plays Ip Man) is being cast in the next John Wick movie. Not a total cross-over, but we do get a little love with some John Wick Ip Man badassness.

R.I.P to "Twister" who were acting the boxer in the movie, he just passed away few years ago.

The three Chinese Master's styles 1.) Praying Mantis (That's why when he got kicked off the table, he tried to look like a dead cockroach.) 2.) Ba Gua Zhang. 3.) Hung Ga Kun. The reason Hung Ga Kun is so important is that both Hung Ga and Wing Chun come from Shaolin.

Actually, that dude who was doing the intro for the match between Ip Man and Twister is actually a prominent British actor who has starred in several classic HK series/movies. At one point, he was literally the token white guy in almost every aspect of HK entertainment, yet I can say for a fact his proficiency is way, way, WAAAAYYYY better than most millennial/Gen Z Canto-speakers, including mine, haha. Sad. xD (edited add-on) It was also very common for non-Cantonese-speaking actors/actresses to be dubbed over for the sake of sound QC, or the producers just wanted those specific actors for the looks, rather than the voice. There's that, and also sound was an absolute hell back then, so this constant practice eventually became a norm, and you will notice a lot of it, even in some recent productions(can't recall any right now off the top of my head). If the producers felt that the audio quality for a particular scene was not up to par, sometimes they'd just dub even for that simple reason, since it was cheaper than having the whole production team reshoot it. Like most HK blockbuster movies, they tend to focus more on making stunts as realistic as possible, as you guys are aware of this since reviewing Donnie Yen's other performances(or even other stars like Jackie Chan). Go watch Jackie Chan's Drunken Master 2(dubbed). Watching it for the dubbing itself is as entertaining. :D (last edited add-on, I swear) That British dude I mentioned earlier was not dubbed by another VA, but his own voice. Taking into account the technological circumstances/limitations into account. Rather than using the audio file that would've been recorded with the mic he was using in the scene(too much gain & mids), the producers didn't want to have that audio quality in the movie, because of an unspoken stigmatic perception: "Old mics = shite. We'd better make it as clear & clean as possible." I'd say this would be an example of how "maintaining quality control " supersedes the need for plot/setting continuity. "And this concludes my TEDxTalks" Haha, pls laugh, I'm dead-ass bored at home with the fucking lockdowns and all.......

Ip Man’s first pupil in the movie, Wong Leung is actually the one that trained Bruce Lee in Wing Chun, he spent time the most with Bruce Lee. Ip Man is the overall grandmaster of the whole school. It’s like Bruce Lee is the Anakin, Wong Leung is the Obi Wan, and Ip Man is the Yoda of the Wing Chun school.

I feel like the movies actually have a good continuity in the character development. Ip Man was born in a rich family in Foshan so in the beginning of the first movie he didn’t even think about teaching people, but then the Japanese invaded and he taught those workers in cotton processing factory just for them to self defend against the bandits. He fought for his own interest and satisfaction in the beginning, but fought because he was a Chinese towards the end of the first movie. In the second movie he was away from Foshan, away from the former rich life he was in, and he was trying to earn a living through teaching. He was doing this not only to survive, but also to take the responsibility of being the big man in his family. In the end he was fighting for Master Hong and it was also for China. Some facade of him changed, but he was still the person that would stand out when the pride of the country was being looked down upon. The character development in Ip Man is what I like the most about the franchise.

Hi, that other strong master is played by Sammo Hung. He is also a director, fight choreographer and martial actor. He's close friends with JC as well.

Sammo Hung is such a beast. Even with his size he still moves like a featherweight, faster even. How amazing would it be, if Bruce Lee hadn't died early he, Sammo and their other familiars during their time would still be rocking movies like this together.

The Master who was beat in the ring Sammo Hung who directed the fight scenes in this film, had a heart attack in the process of filming. He recovered and continued to direct and star in 20 more films since

3:24 : Wing Chun is art meant for women, it was created by a Shaolin nun. Chinese during that time are male chauvinists. The translation is wrong for the old lady @16:27. She didn't say " No guts?" she said "lo meng mer?" the literal translation is "take life mer?" meaning "Watch it! do you want to kill me?". The "No guts?" translation is for the line at @16:28 "mm kao tam ar?"

"Mike tyson comes through" oh just you wait

if it's a martial arts movie and Sammo Hung is one of the guys named, it's 100% worth checking out :)

The chairs used to be knives in older days. If you fell that's it.

The main Master besides Ip Man was using Tiger style Kung Fu. When all the other Masters were fighting Ip Man on the table, I also saw Crane and Snake style.

"who would win in a fight, ipman or john wick?" it appears you guys haven't heard about who's starring in that fourth upcoming john wick movie 👀👀🔥

IP man's wife in the movies is such a sweetheart. I wish he loved her more in real life instead of getting a mistress and leaving her in Fo Shan and moving to Hong Kong.

It's always interesting to me when people see Sammo Hung for the first time, and fall into the same train of thought because of his size. As someone who grew up watching Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao, amongst many other martial artists, I've looked up to Sammo the most as I'm a wide fellow also. He's one of my martial art inspirations as he's a staple of the "Don't judge a book" saying. If you've not experienced Sammo's movies, have a look at them even in your own time. He'll certainly impress you with how agile and skilled he is.

i hope this goes on till ipman 4

By the way, Ipman was actually Bruce Lee's master in real life.

Been a while, but just wanted to point out that they foreshadowed how Master Hung’s health condition would be a problem in a prolonged fight because he had asthma, which is what he took the medicine for after his fight with Ip Man They wanted to show that he was on Ip’s level, but would lose in a prolonged fight because of that condition Same with Twister, he was doing well, more than holding his own, but it dragged on too long before he could finish it so he couldn’t even breathe after he grabbed Twister by the throat, so if it weren’t for that, he would have won So in terms of ability, Master Hung was the closest to being able to match Ip amongst all the Ip Man film series characters, especially considering his size, age, and asthma condition

The fat master is Sammo Hung, the Martial Art Choreographer of Ip Man series. In Ip Man 2, the martial art that he used is Hong Style fist, which originated from Southern Shaolin and used predominantly trained by Anti-Manchu rebels.

Last part kids say his name "Bruce Lee" is real true story . Master of Bruce Lee is legend Ip man . U can check this out in history of Bruce Lee .

My left ear is loving this

I've been patiently waiting for this. Thanks!

Those guys at the beginning saying IP Man looks weak have clearly never seen Donnie with his shirt off.

for the last scene, its not about race or competition but rather dignity, at that time they filming in an era where east are being "invaded" by west, most of western people are obtained high position in their territory so most of the western tend to look down on chinese. its kinda freedom fighter fighting oppressor vibe movies and there's so many similar theme this one is one of them, its just this one is very nice and unique fighting style and it got the sentiment at the time where brucelee goes and bring the rather similar situation but opposite when he entered western culture and became famous

7:27 *_When he said Triads it reminded me of the other Netflix Original called_* Wushu Assasins. *_Its really good._*

You guys should watch Flash Point and SPL: Killzone it’s two of Donnie Yen’s most realistic fights

Boxing vs Martial Arts...can't wait for you guys to watch Ip Man 3 with Mike Tyson

Ipman 1~4 movies was so good

When they mentioned Mike Tyson >:)

Don't listen with headphones the audio is way jacked.

Also the guy who plays the master is the fight coordinator and a very famous martial artist called Samo

Love you guys reaction!! Here's the full list in order if your interested in watching them all as I enjoyed watching them. Thanks!! New sub. Wing Chun (Starring Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen) The Legend Is Born: Ip Man (prequel) Ip man 1 Ip man 2 Ip man 3 ( Starring Mike Tyson) Master Z: Ip man legacy ( Starring Dave Bautista) Ip man 4: The Finale (Starring Scott Adkins)

This is where bruce lee was the like the father of mma. He learned wing chun from ip man but he notice there was some offensive flaws so he only took in the principle of defensive from ip man and bruce lee created grappling and some hand bar take down used in today mma. Bruce lee also learn kickboxing and boxing to elevate his moves. Bruce lee went to many boxing gyms and chinese martisl arts school and learn from in hence “mma”. Mixed martial arts. A lot of mma fighters said bruce lee if he was alive today would do really well in mma cause he made some mma moves well known back in his time.

SPL: Sha Po Lang and Flash Point next boys! Edit: After IP Man 3 and 4 of course!

" the master looks sick. He's not built to be sick " oh trust me man's is sick. 🥲 ( medically )

It actually happened back the day, foreign boxing players vs. Chinese martial artists

The last fight was still unfair but Ip still kicked his ass

more Ip Man pleaseee!!!! if u know the history behind all Ip Man movies u will get goosebump everytime u watch it ❤

This movie was boxing vs Chinese boxing, but Ip Man practiced Wing Chun.

Fun Fact: *_In the actual fight with Ip Man and the "twister", the American boxer "Twister" was actually knocked out in 4 punches. Hence the phrase when the person said "I bet Ip Man will finish this fight in 4 punches._*

Ip Man passed away from Laryngeal Cancer (Voice Box). Back in the days when Ip Man was alive…..the 1940’s -1960’s , almost 80%+ of mainland and Hong Kong Chinese men smoked. In fact, a great percentage of mainland Chinese still smoke.

Great vid guys. Hope to see a reaction to Ip Man 3 and 4 soon.

Often during the filming, Chinese don't spend much effort recording the audios because it will most likely be dubbed in various dialects for the different regions in China anyways. Also, for example, Ip's first student simply didn't even speak Cantonese. Or Donnie's mandarin has an accent too...

Ip Man 2 is my favourite... I watch it many2 times...

Darren Majian Shahlavi (The Twister). died of Atherosclerosis 5 years later.

The villains name is darren shahlavi… he was a great martial artist.. and he passed away.. you should react to the a movie called “BLOOD MOON” it’s actually pretty good. And the one who died was is sammo huang.. another great martial artist.. and a great friend to jackie since thy was really young

may i add the authentic wingchun is compose of 70% hands speed/upper attacks while ipmans has flexibility..or watch the "legend is born ipman"

Best ip man movie reaction!

Yes watch them all these movies are so good

*_Hope you guys react to Ip Man 3!_*

why is the audio coming in the left side

13:30 bruh, jiu jutsu is from chinese martial arts to begin with XD

If you can find it you guys should check out Mismatched Couples. It stars a really young break dancing Donnie Yen. Really hard movie to find though.

Why is your mic sounds only on the left side?

*_Ayy second movie!_*

Men im waiting for this

waiting for part 3 and 4 , hurry up

Why do I hear the voice over on the left side lol

This one disregards physics more than the other 3 for sure.

why is the audio for this one stronger on the left channel? That's weird seeing that both of you are film makers.

The actor playing twister passed away

im getting excited for ip man 3 reaction

it showed abit of the history when white people tried to colonised asia.

Did you bring the ransom? Sure did bro. 500,000 Shit dude. What? In dollahs? Nah brah. IN WHOOPASS *GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG* So what was in your suitcase? My tie, 5 bucks and 15 cents, and my suit for dancing with my wife's dance classes. It's salsa today.

About the audio question, there is a Cantonese version and a Mandarin version. Normally the Cantonese version is original, and the Mandarin audio is added later. That's probably why you think the English audio is a little off.

good reaction video! keep it up

Mike Tyson just walks in... 👀

That commentator in the fight? No he isn't voiceover. That dude is a legit actor who's one of the few Caucasian actors in HK that's used to be/now still under TVB.

last fight that is kung fu tiger style and yes there is as i know 4 diffrent style , crane, tiger, monkey, snake and they are real styles

You said he was fighting for China in the video. I think at this point in time he’s actually living in Hong Kong which was a British colony up until 1997 I think.

You actually point out something I had observed in a good number of Chinese Martial Arts films. The voices or the audio with the white actors seem off in them. The best I could describe it is that it seems unnatural or forced. This discrepancy is not usually seen in American films involving other minorities, but I feel like the presence of white actors in East Asian projects seem less organic. The only times where I have seen smooth acting by white actors in East Asian projects was when the actors themselves were already famous and/or established people from the U.S. For example, Matt Damon in the Chinese movie "The Great Wall" did not present any acting deficits.

I though my headset broken or something lol

some say they still haven't made an actual movie

its the difference between mandarin and cantonese. They filmed in one dialect, and then changed it for release, its why everyone seems slightly off but not completely off.

27:18 If you knew the first thing about Wing Chun, you'd know that's not true at all

Dont ever underestimate Sammo Hung. Man is a beast

did no one of them recognized Sammo Hung / Hung Kam-bo ?!?!?

The actor that plays "Twister" it's Van Damme's bodyguard

The funny thing is Donnie Yen is gonna show up in John Wick 4

RIP Darren Shahlavi

We need ip man 3 asap

Kung Fu Hustle Next! :D

Have you seen the real sons of Ip Man, Ip Chun and Ip Ching, they're on RU-vid videos too. Grandmaster Ip Chun was once an actor and acted in the biography film of a younger Ip Man- The Legend is Born Ip Man

I think part of the history was racism as HK was a British colony that time can’t help but show part of it. Sometimes there was discrimination among the Chinese themselves from the city and the mainland. There are many styles hence the street fight among groups. Bruce Lee also experienced those kind of fights before he moved to US.

The first Ipman is the best for my opinion.

You guys don't know who Sammo Hung is? He's Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao's peer.

I think the 3rd one is my favorite

Boxing is a martial art 🙏🏾

The boxer was actually Donnie Yen's student in real life.

Can you guys react to Lady Snowblood and Fists of Fury??

Yooo the white dude looks and sounds just like itsyeboi U GUYS r def Canadian

19:25 Los chinos hacen Kung-fu, solo que en el Kung-fu hay muchos estilos de pelea, el que practica ip-man (Wing chun) es uno de ellos, usualmente en peleas serias o formales suelen decir su nombre, estilo de pelea y el nombre del maestro que les enseñó ese estilo.

You got to react to IP men 3 and then ip man 4

No. 3 and 4 pls guys :)

That why they call it 100rs humiliation. Ip man don't fight for China but for Chinese dignity.

Can yall react to a martial arts movie called Chocolate? Have a feelin yall will like that one

The race things: the Brits used to mistreat the native inhabitants of their colonies.

Damn samo hung gets no respect lol. He's one of the greats. Played in plenty of films with Jackie chan
