Raphael Martial Recaps - Ip Man 2 Movie Recap In Full HD
Ip Man 2: Legend of the Grandmaster is a 2010 Hong Kong biographical martial arts film loosely based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun. A sequel to the 2008 film Ip Man, Ip Man 2 was directed by Wilson Yip and stars Donnie Yen, who reprises the leading role. Continuing after the events of the earlier film, the sequel centres on Ip's early life in British Hong Kong. He attempts to propagate his discipline of Wing Chun, but faces rivalry from other practitioners, including the local master of Hung Ga martial arts, Hung Chun-nam ( Sammo Hung ), and later the British boxing champion Taylor "The Twister" Miller ( Darren Shahlavi ). Ip Man 2 is the second film in the "Ip Man" film series. Ip Man series is one the best martial arts action movie franchise in the world.
The filmmakers stated that while Ip Man was about survival, Ip Man 2 is about living. The sequel is set in Hong Kong in 1949, when the city was under British colonial rule. Screenwriter Edmond Wong stated that the film also explorers "how Hong Kong people were treated under British colonial rule, and Western attitudes concerning Chinese kung fu"
The film's martial arts sequences were choreographed by Sammo Hung, who also worked on the choreography for the first film. Prior to principal photography, Hung had undergone a major cardiac surgery. When he returned to the set, his dramatic scenes in the film were filmed first, with his fight sequences being filmed last. Hung performed his own stunts in the film, which led to him receiving several injuries during filming. While filming a scene, Hung was struck in the face by co-star Darren Shahlavi. He insisted on completing the shoot before going to the hospital. Not wanting his injuries to hinder the production progress, Hung spent five hours trying to complete the scene before going to the hospital for four stitches.
Although Darren Shahlavi ( Twister ) is presented in this film as being in perfect health and in prime condition, only five years after this film he passed away from a heart attack. On 14 January 2015, Shahlavi died in his sleep at the age of 42 from a heart attack caused by atherosclerosis.
