If you have netflix, do yourself a favor and watch "Ip Man"

[RedBeard]

It is a martial arts movie. It is sub titled, but well worth it.

I hate some of the newer foreign martial arts flicks that have people literally flying all over the place. This movie doesn't have that at all, the fight scenes are alot like the first matrix movie.

Anyway, I just watched it and wanted to share. It is in HD too.

It's available on HULU too!!(Chinese with English subtitles) just watched it.. and it is a really good movie. Recommended.

I watched Ip Man 2, nowhere near as good as the 1st one.

 

[Arcadio]

I agree with the OP. IP Man is one good movie. I felt silly calling the movie "I.P. Man" when in reality it's "IP" as in "Lip".

 

[JackBurton]

I have it on BD, and yes, it is a great movie.

 

[villageidiot111]

not as good as primer

 

[punjabiplaya]

It's on my "recommended for you" list. I'll check it out on the weekend.

 

[JackBurton]

"Fearless" is another great movie.

 

[Bateluer]

Stream-able?

Ip Man was pretty good.

But don't bother with Ip Man 2. It's the exact same movie but with subtle changes. Location is now Hong Kong instead of Guandong and now the bad guys are the colonialist British oppressors instead of the colonialist Japanese oppressors. It was amusing though to hear the white people in the movie though. I don't know why but all white people are practically charactures in Hong Kong films. They all have atrocious accents when speaking Cantonese and when speaking English they speak loud and slow. Maybe all the Brits always talked very condescendingly to the locals.

Stream-able?

Yes, in HD too.

"Fearless" is another great movie.

Thanks, I will check that out.

Great part of history for martial arts fans that don't know who Ip Man is too...no, not really historically accurate, but maybe it'll get people to read up on the guy.

I didn't like it, but I'm not a martial arts fan

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

there's an ip man 3

 

[Born2bwire]

there's an ip man 3

Oh Jesus, really?

Now they have been doing a bunch of Ip Man stuff since the first came out. There was a pseudo Ip Man movie that came out I remember seeing advertisements for. But I'm not aware of a third Ip Man with Donnie Yen.

I like how people say he lead to Bruce Lee's training. But based on his Wikipedia page, he only opened a dojo (or whatever you'd call it) to support his opium habits. So would you say that opium gave us Bruce Lee?

 

[SKORPI0]

Ip Man came out 2008.

Watch Bruce Lee, My Brother (2010). :awe:

First one was awesome. Second was not as good as the first. Never heard of a third? Worth a watch?

I've heard that it's not good at all.

If you have netflix, do yourself a favor

I did myself a favor once, for which I was completely ungrateful. I never even thanked myself. Never again.

 

[xaeniac]

Will check out

 

[Malak]

I concur. He gets pretty brutal in the movie too.
