FILMMAKERS REACT TO IP MAN (2008) FIRST TIME REACTION!! 

200 LIKES and we'll react to the next IP Man film 👇

The crazy thing about Bruce being ip man’s student is that Bruce had to beg to be his student.

10:12 just some insight on the “feather duster”. It’s used in a lot of Chinese households. Mostly used by moms to beat on kids 😅. So the context of that fight scene was Ip Man disciplining a naughty child lol

All the main Japanese characters are Japanese actors, and they did a great job in this movie

It's a feather duster, the go-to weapon for a lot of Asian parents to instill discipline at home. Trust me, it hurts.

Fun fact: The actor who play Ip Man, Donnie Yen is once get into a street fight with some gangster in real life and really fought 10 guys at one times which inspired the scriptwriter to write this into the movie. That's how they get to do that "I want fight 10 person" scene. But of course back then Donnie Yen ain't using the Wing Chun style because he learn Wing Chun just before they plan to shoot this movie, but Donnie Yen did learn traditional martial arts since he was 8, then got himself black and purple belt from Judo and Brazillian Jiu-jitsu, he also explore MMA when he is in USA from 2000 to 2003, so you can kind of imagine how's that fight go. Poor gangster.

The most important thing is the history that japanese killed more than 10 million people in Asia and Japan is still denying the history and keeps changing their history textbooks which are used in high schools.

Funny thing was the real IP Man was the police chief of Foshan. He refused to teach the Japanese during WW2 and that's why they took his house.

Those old buildings actually exist like a town and they reserved it for this purpose or tourism.

Foshan is actually a legendary martial art town, which brought alot of martial art legends like Wong Feihung.

For reference, The first scene of fight, that fighting till stopping at the point where you know you can tko your opponent , it’s an attitude in kungfu out of respect, meaning they are only comparing each other’s techniques without humiliating anyone. In the second big fight, where the outsider is clearly out performing the locals, the real fight was intended to humiliate them, saying their skill is rubbish

*_One of the best Martial Arts series ever made that is based on a true story._*

As a Wing-Chun student with direct lineage to IP man himself I have watched this movie over 5 times because I see something new every I watch. I love how authentic the moves are and that Donnie Yen took time to become a black sash in Wing-Chun to make it look authentic as possible

If you're new to the genre, I recommend Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Ong-Bak.

I feel like IP man series was probably the greatest in all the kung fu action films. I mean it had great action jsut like the old kung-fu films, and it had a really good storyline and great characters and it ending really well with a conclusion.

Bro you cant start him off with Kobe Beef steak of martial arts movie, now his bar for everything else will be so high it will far so short compare to Ip Man

Y'all have got to check out "The Grandmaster" from Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai. Another take on the Ip Man tale and one of the most visually striking, beautiful films I've ever seen. Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi at the top of their games. Highly recommend. Great reaction btw, haha

Great reaction can’t wait for you guys to react to all the sequences, you’ll definitely love it and get glued in even more. Dope stuff🤘🏾🔥

Can't wait for your next Ipman series reaction! Great insight and breakdown from you guys on the movie.

Don't forget: This is a true story about the man who trained Bruce Lee!

It is not completely a true story. The main characters might be real people who lived during that time, but most of the stories in IP man movies are mostly made up. However, it is a good martial art movie.

I respect the japanese general, in the movie all he strived for was looking for stronger martial artists, he wasn't arrogant he showed respect

The scene when he thought all 10 men you mentioned he looks so angry and all the other movies he fights for sport possibly for honor like when his master friend die to the boxer but in this scene it was pure unbridled rage watching someone you cared about get shot right in front of him I think it’s the only time we fight but pure anger

bro those feather dusters are crazy strong man~ i had a fair share of that growing up from my parents OMG they left serious marks and pain! lol when out of line as a kid I got nothing other then the famous Duster!

My man really love's his "sheeeesh"

Great reaction! Looking forward to your next IP MAN 2 reaction. Keep it up. Thanks.

*_I watched the movie so much times but I honestly didn't even notice the color fade in contrast. Thankfully I watched this reaction LOL. Reactions to the Ip Man movies are always good._*

Feather dusters… the ultimate weapon of Asian parents… trust me… I know lol

Even though Bruce Lee did attend Ip Man's classes. He wasn't really trained by him personally as the Grandmaster doesn't trained newly beginning students and it is the senior students job to train them. So he was mostly taught by one of Ip Man's top students, Wong Sheung Leung. Yet, never completed his training above most of basics. Though his system of Jeet Kun Do would implement Boxing, Western Fencing and basic Wing Chun.

Generals face was like I beg your pardon, what the fuck did you say 😂😭😭

Don’t forget, this is a part history of Chinese, and ip man is the teacher of bruce lee.....

Love that you guys actually took the time to react to foreign films and analysed the whole film as oppose to set scenes. Would highly recommend you guys give the foreign film called infernal affairs a go if you guys have the chance. Its a little hidden gem of hong kong cinema, one of my fav foreign films of all time. Martin Scorsese adapted the original script and used it in making a movie called the departed which you guys might be familiar with. Anyway love the reactions, keep it coming guys :)

Love that u said ip man correctly!!

Great movie, great reaction! We'll be waiting for Ip Man 2 to continue the journey.

I love how your faces are taking up 50% of the screen excellent editing!!!!

The thud sound at 9:27 sounds like if someone were to slap a slab of beef onto a wooden cutting board

I CANNOT WAIT !! for you to get to ip man 4.. my guy was kicking ass while dying of cancer...

My dad was a student at Ip Man's school in Kowloon at the same time as Bruce Lee, back when they were both teenagers. So yes, Ip Man was a real person, and all the techniques Donnie Yen uses are real wing chun - I learned wing chun for 4 years, things like tan sao blocks, kicks and chain punches like the ones Yen uses are the exact same things that I learned :) Pretty much every modern wing chun school can trace its lineage back to Ip Man, his students and their students, so effectively all wing chun today was created by Ip Man's teachings.

i cant wait for the next reaction videos for the rest of the ip man movies!

Famous Bruce Lee learns some WingChun from Ip Man

that filmmaker bait is really working well with these reaction channels

I like the part he got stunned realizing Ip Man was Bruce Lee's sifu. And also, these 2 spoilt brats when they were young were only send to their room as form of discipline. The feather duster is the ultimate weapon to discipline Asian kids. That scene was Ip Man treating the guy like a kid and disciplining him. Also as a form of insult.

awesome review

Great reaction. Love that you guys appreciate these Chinese martial arts films. It’s so different from Western films. Looking forward to the next IP man reactions

The rolling thunder punch which is the rapid fire "jack hammer" punches that is seen in Wing Chun or Kung-fu... is what we in the West have nicknamed the Rapid Masher. Or aka the Mash Potato technique. ;)

Idk y’all but y’all seem really chill & cool. I liked yalls reaction too, new sub. Keep up the grind 🤙🏼🔥

Keep it up guys. This is first time i think full reaction for the whole movie in RU-vid. Please react on all Ip Man movies. I love the way you guys reacted.

The feather bamboo thing…. Is our old time parents ultimate weapon , when we see parents hold that we be speed running away.

This movie is one of my all time favorites

Ip man was filmed in Shanghai which was used to architecturally recreate Foshan but the filmmakers traveled to Foshan along with Ip’s eldest son and martial arts master Leo Au-yeung to research Ip’s life

27:26 when he realized Bruce lee is Ip mans student hahaha I reacted the same!! 🤣🤣

As many have said there are 3 more Ip Man movies. However, there is a fifth movie that is tied into the series which is Master Z, which I believe, time line wise, takes place after 2 but before 4.

Enjoyed your reaction. :)

While IP Man is great and it popularised Donnie Yen in the West, however when he starred in Ip Man he was past his prime. You guys should check out his older movies when he was young. Start with Iron Monkey, Once Upon A Time In China 2 and Legend of the Wolves. Those movies which came out more than 20 years ago would still put Hollywood actions movies of today to shame including all those Marvel movies.

Ipman had to teach Bruce lee privately because he was half Chinese and half American that was the story i heard

Great reaction, you seem like good dudes.

Fighter in the wind ? Based true story too .

I do appreciate all efforts, respect, attention and also hardworking from all ppl who just did anything to prove how hard Chinese ppl suffered in such period. No matter who they r and from where they r, I do respect from the deep of my heart. As Chinese we just wanna be friends wiz ppl around the world and stick to our principles which is respect and peace&luv. I wish everyone around the earth deserve a happy and satisfying life. Peace y’all

looking forward to rhe 2,3 and 4.

yooo this is around the time the massacre of banking happened. as a suggestion for movies that just feel like an art piece, I'd suggest The Fall starring Lee Pace. it has some of the best transitions I've ever seen and it was filmed in like 20 plus countries. as an allegory for depression due to an injury it really hits home.

These movies made Wing Chun my favorite martial arts style

fun fact, the feather duster is what our asian parents beat us with as kids, that gives the scene an extra level of condescension, like a master disciplining a kid.

To the white guy on the couch: Why is your right arm so much bigger than your left arm?

19:32 the black was so confident to say that is sweet potato, bruh is rice man , where did u get that confidence,my god like u knew everything….

The guy playing the Japanese general was trained in karate for this movie.

i recommend jet li's "fearless". but only the director's cut, not the theatrical cut or the unrated cut. the director's cut has a full 40 minutes of story that the other cuts don't have

Enjoyed your reaction to IPMan, you should do the rest of the sequels.

the spirit of friends makes more videos that you guys like to react to 👍👍👍👍👍

Hope u guys love it, and there is a series IP Man 1-4, I really wonder if u guys react to those! thx

Fun fact donnie yens mother is a grandmaster bow-sim Mark. He also has a sister hi up in the martial arts world

We have little cities that have many props and traditional buildings for film use specifically.

The first IP man movie is form 2008 and I was born in 2008,but I watched it like 100 times

That is not a bag of sweet potatoes. That's a small bag of rice.

I loved all four movies but the first two are probably my favorites out of all movies or at least really close.

Y’all should watch the fourth one, they plays Bruce Lee an important role in S.F

@2:37 They were fighting its a test of techniques and skill rather than power. its a friendly spar intend on teaching and learning from others rather than to injure and offend. Reason why polite and the other person can leave amicably without losing face, reason the spar took place behind closed doors.

We've got Lost in Vegas... We now have Lost in Nostalgia... Ok

I came for the stubble

Even after the release of Leroy Smith of Tekken 7. He was an absolute monster.

BC LEE is IP mans` Student ! ! "" WA DA !~~~ ""

The four Chinese boxers in rags are guys from northern China to challenge boxers in a southern Chinese town, Fuo Shan, where there are many different schools of martial arts. Their leader beat three of the martial art teachers there but was defeated by Ip Man.

Aww he thought the feather duster was a feather.

9:04 comment:observation. Good notice.-Ernie Moore Jr.

No one is gonna mention all the “sheeez” there were in there.

It a traditional duster made from cane and feathers. Dual purpose. 1. Dusting the ornaments at home. 2. Punishing kids by caning them. 100% common in Asian homes until maybe the late 90s. Yes, we ( chinese / asians) were once all caned by our parents as kids. Ensures our schoolwork are constantly A graded 🤣😄😅

10:13 in asian, we all got beaten by our parents with that thing when we were kids...

Any day someone is introduced to Ip Man is a good day. But… *2 minutes in* If this guy says “sheeeesh” one more FUCKING time

Dude, the first duel after the tea was just a fight to test whose skill is better, not fight to death that's why the 2 masters were polite to each other

Love the way you guys pronounced Yip Mun correctly! 99% guys don't get it right.

The feather duster is what asian parents use to discipline the children. It really hurts.

Went to Foshan 2 yrs ago went to museum for the grandmasters saw some of his memorabilia even Ip Man’s wooden practice pole. Most of the grandmasters who they can’t win over were poisoned. Bruce Lee learned from different masters and wanted to learn wing chun nice story how he got in. Ip Man learned exclusively from the grandmaster of wing chun but when he studied in HK he met the brother of the grandmaster who had a different technique but same style. Ip Man family were rich he never work in his lifetime only when war broke.

Dude in the video is like a black sammo hung hahahaha. Regardless, thank you for appreciating asian kung fu movies. Really love it that you guys remain humble and just admire the art. Tbh the ip man series are a lil exaggerated with regards to kung fu, but have a very sentimental essence to it. I especially love the third one, where it's nothing more than wing chun vs another form of wing chun, with s little bit of tragedy. Once again, thank you for this. Peace.

this fighting style yongchun was originally designed for women，because most women has shorter arm length so this style uses shorter puch but with incredible speed

Anybody notice how big the dude on the lefts right arm is compared to his left

Ip man look cool... Awesome 😎

You guys gotta react to ip man fighting against Mike Tyson god damn that fight gave me literal chills

This is my top favorite movie series. But you should check out Robin-B-Hood with Jackie Chan. Not only does it have the great action we know Chan for, but it highlights some of his dramatic acting, which he's always wanted to do more of. If you wanna see some excellent dramatic Jackie Chan acting, check out Foreigner and (believe it or not), Karate Kid.

You guys should react to Ip Man 2.

Watch ip man 2 asapp! Cant wait for the reaction

7:23 This short hair gungfu actor said one of actor got knockout from his kick, maybe this guy I guess. He passed out for a while.
