How do you make a martial arts movie? Well, we've got a look behind the scenes at one of the best in recent days to give you an idea.
International superstar Donnie Yen reprises his iconic role as the real-life kung fu Grandmaster Ip Man, widely known as the man who brought Wing Chun to the world with the help of his star pupil, Bruce Lee. Master Ip, a new arrival in British-occupied Hong Kong, wants to open a martial arts academy to teach his unique Wing Chun style. A corrupt group of martial arts masters, led by Master Hung (Sammo Hung) refuses to allow him to teach in peace until he proves himself as a kung fu master. Ip's troubles continues when he is forced to enter a brutal "King of the Ring" boxing match against Twister, a Western-style boxer who insults the Chinese locals, in a East versus West knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish.
Wilson Yip's Ip Man 2 hits store shelves this week and we've got a quartet of behind the scenes features to give you a taste of the film. Check them out below.

What this movie lacks in plot and script, it fills with superb fighting scenes. The first is superior in all ways, but the second one is absolutely enjoyable.
