Donnie Yen kick it Up a Notch! Trailer for IP MAN 2

I'm just going cut to the chase and say stop immediately whatever it is your doing and go watch the Ip Man 2 trailer right now! English subtitles with original Cantonese dialogue is included. The part in 01:49 had my eye balls popping out of my head.

After relocating to Hong Kong, Ip Man (Donnie Yen) chooses to open up a Wing Chun school. However, it isn't long before his peaceful lifestyle is interupted by the challenges of a local Hung Fist master named Hung Jan-nam (Sammo Hung). Meanwhile, the British who occupy the territory are displeased about the presence of his school and hire a handful of fighters to try and chase him out of the country.

The theatrical release date is on April 29th. You'll find the trailer and two making-of videos embedded below.

I don't envy those stunt men in that shot you talked about Al. Holy crap!

Not bad except for the wire hoisting Sammo up onto the table which felt too unrealistic and unnecessary.

I will be in Hong Kong when this opens and will be seeing this first thing in the morning the day it opens, I'm sure, as there's a nice theater a block from my hotel!

My response is this: OMG! I love the first Ip Man and this one will be even more spectacular. I am also glad to see Darren Shahlavi in this movie as well. I have not seen him in a long time.

Me excited to see the result of the fight against the hulking British boxer (hint: Ip Man will probably beat him senseless)

Amazing as expected. Hope the HK blu-ray comes out soon after the theatrical release.
