At this point I’m almost convinced that voice actors have a bet going to
see who can get away with delivering the absolute worst trailer narration for a
foreign film. There’s no other way to explain why, in 2010, we still
have these horrible, overblown, overly dramatic voices cheapening the
story of any film that’s not made in English. Like anyone that’s going
to buy a movie called Ip
Man
would be put off by the
original dialogue!
However that said, if you haven’t yet seen
Donnie Yen in action as Bruce Lee’s legendary master Ip Man, you’re
in for a treat with this new trailer from Yahoo. Them’s some fast
fists.
As we
told you before
Well GO USA is releasing the film on dvd and blu-ray on July 27th. Ip Man 2
will have its North American premiere at the New York Asian Film
Festival and his theaters sometime early next year.

A question about these films: Are they essentially the chinese take on the "Rocky" films. As in swap Italian with Chinese hero/underdog and black Ali knock/Russian villians with the Japanese/English and you have Ip Man 1 & 2?
uuugggh, nope, are you aware, that ip man was a historical figure, who actually existed during the Japanese invasion in China?
Yeah, I'm aware IP Man was a historical figure. That doesn't mean movies "based" on his life are all historically correct and 100% factual. Seems to me these movies are Chinese attempts to get all jingoistic about their history and their historical oppressors. Kinda like the Rocky films did against blacks and communism. Doesn't anyone else get that vibe from these flicks?
I really thought Hollywood had gone mad and created their own superhero I.P. Man, to fight for truth, justice and the rights of corporations to protect their intellectual property.
Both films are so awesome. Donnie Yen is by far the best.
#3, no.
I really enjoyed the second film. Perhaps didn't quite have a scene as awesome as "I want to fight 10 men" from the first movie (although the fight with the axe gang was pretty great), but overall a more satisfying film methinks.
